Summary
Hyeon Jeongui grew up an orphan and became a prosecutor, but his ambitions reach much higher. When a small mistake gets him sent to a remote outpost, his career stalls—and he’s willing to consider an unusual offer to get it moving again.
A Deal with the Devil
Seo Cheong promises him a path to the presidency. His price: Jeongui must spend every night with him.
Jeongui accepts, and the bargain delivers. He rises to chief prosecutor in record time, putting the future he wants within reach.
Jeongui Wants Out
Convinced he has gotten everything he needs from Cheong, Jeongui plans to marry into a wealthy business family and leave their arrangement behind.
But Cheong refuses to be discarded. Jeongui thought he could use the devil to get ahead, then walk away when it suited him. Breaking their bargain will be far more dangerous than making it.
