They say marriage begins with love—but for Ingjan, it began with a grudge.

To escape an arranged marriage meant to settle her family’s debt, Ingjan runs away and crosses paths with Sichon, a young vineyard owner. He helps her—but with a catch. To protect her and clear the debt, he demands she marry him for one year.

The deal is risky, and the cost is high on both sides. But Ingjan isn’t someone who can be controlled—especially not by a man as dangerous and cunning as Mr. Vineyard.
