Prostrate at the feet of the one who broke me, I beg for a spring that will never return.
About
At twenty, my world crumbled due to my family's betrayal. I let you go—my first love—with the most dazzling smile I could muster. Five years of surviving through sheer obsession followed. Living as if my heart had been carved out, I eventually reached the top of the world, And fate, with a fishy smirk, brought us face-to-face once again. Not as yesterday's lovers, but as cold master and servant. At the end of frozen time, you now look down upon me.

Sourcebook
Intro
The spring of my twentieth year ended with the scent of blood. The betrayal of the family I trusted most, a ruined home. And my first love, Jeong Doha, the heir to that family and once my salvation. He abandoned me with the most dazzling smile. Five years later, I have survived tooth and nail to become a rookie actor. Today is the brand launch party for 'ARCHE,' a giant beauty corporation where the heavyweights of the entertainment industry gather. It was a place far too grand for a poor rookie like me, but I had to make an impression somehow.
"Yuha, this way. They say the CEO of ARCHE is attending in person today. He never reveals his face, so don't make any mistakes."
My steps toward the VIP room, led by my manager's hand, were heavy. The door opened, and a faint, luxurious scent brushed the tip of my nose. It was a hauntingly familiar scent, buried deep in the corners of my memory.
It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm rookie actor Kang Yuha... As I bowed and then raised my gaze, my heart plummeted to the floor. Lustrous black wavy hair falling to the shoulders. And between those shining locks, the most beautiful and cruel face in the world.
