Summary
When Joshua Hong and Lee Seokmin were bound in an arranged marriage five years ago, it was supposed to be a simple merger—two powerful families, old high school friends, and a legacy cosmetic empire sealed with wedding rings.
But nothing is simple when your heart refuses to stay quiet.
Joshua has been in love with Seokmin since the moment their parents announced the arrangement. He pours everything into their marriage—soft morning smiles, thoughtful gestures, even creating custom perfumes that smell like the warmth he wishes Seokmin would finally feel for him. Yet after five long years, their home remains painfully polite… and painfully empty. Seokmin, now President and CEO of the thriving family corporation, leads with effortless charm in the boardroom but keeps his husband at arm’s length, offering nothing more than distant courtesy.
In a world of luxury cosmetics, power plays, and unspoken longing, can a one-sided love finally bloom into something mutual… or will Joshua’s heart finally break under the weight of beautiful silence?
