    Summary

    The human brain processes trauma in milliseconds. For world-renowned neurosurgeon Seong Hui-ju, that quarter-of-a-second is plenty of time to calculate mass, velocity, and a suicidal trajectory.

    When a runaway armored Mercedes plunges toward the Han River, Seong Hui-ju uses her Bugatti Chiron as a kinetic shield to stop the descent, saving the child inside.

    She didn't know she was saving Crown Prince Yi Yoon. And she certainly didn't expect King I-an - cold, ruthless, and fiercely protective - to lock down her hospital wing with a royal edict.

    Seong Hui-ju is a secluded genius - a neurosurgeon - who wants her quiet life back.

    King I-an is a sovereign who treats her survival as a matter of state security.

    Two absolute calculators collide, but neither anticipated the slow-burning fuse ignited between them.
