Summary
After a hard childhood and many miserable years in boarding school, Jeon Wonwoo doesn’t expect accepting a job as a live-in childminder and caretaker for a wealthy man’s only daughter to make his life any more exciting. Enter his admittance into the sprawling, high-end Thornfield Hotel, where all the guests are rich and ditzy and the staff seem to carry a hundred secrets. The owner of Thornfield and his employer in question, Wen Junhui, is a brash, cynical, persuasive, and impossible man, with a whole lifetime of regrets and mistakes he either wishes to make up for or forget entirely. It’s here, against all odds, that Wonwoo finds himself falling desperately in love.

Summary
Growing up in a family of storytellers, Jun didn’t believe in the Heartless Lord’s tale. Until he comes face to face with him. He was supposed to be a myth, a character in the stories, not the man who offers to save Jun's father’s life. But how can the man with the reputation of ripping out the heart of anyone who has the misfortune of crossing his path be trusted? Charming as though he is, Jun vows never to lose his heart to him.
Lord Wonwoo was a cursed man. Even as powerful as he is, he couldn’t break free of the centuries old enchantment imprisoning him. When he encounters Jun, he discovers the strength and purity of his heart to be key to his freedom and revenge. In order to execute his plan, he slowly lures Jun into his embrace. Seducing him comes naturally. Resisting his allure proves more difficult than expected.
As their love timidly starts to blossom, a dark shadow looms in the distance, aiming to destroy their newfound happiness. Will Jun save Wonwoo from his curse, or will he become just another victim of Lord Wonwoo the Heartless?
In a race to determine who would lose their heart first, neither foresaw the inevitable outcome in the game of love: no heart is truly safe from getting stolen.
