Seong Hajin has lived enduring the discrimination and contempt of his family simply because he takes after his birth mother, a concubine, and is a Beta. By the order of HK Group’s Chairman Kwon, who holds him in special regard, he finds himself in a situation where he must marry Kwon Sayoung, the Dominant Alpha he has secretly loved for a long time. The only problem is that Sayoung is the long-time lover of his half-brother, the Dominant Omega Seong Yeonwoo.
“I only intend to go as far as an engagement. You can just think of living together as a show window relationship, too.”
“…”
“No matter how much this is the marriage you wanted, that is the extent of what I can do for you.”
Amid continuous misunderstandings, the two begin a fake married life for completely different reasons, and Seong Hajin’s heart grows increasingly troubled. Meanwhile, even Kwon Sayoung’s younger brother, Kwon Sabin, begins to hover around, throwing Hajin into further confusion….
“If you like Kwon Sayoung, does that mean I can’t even say that I like you?”
In what form will their relationship, tangled and intertwined like a ball of thread, finally unravel?

Character Introduction:
Kwon Sayoung (Top 1): Dominant Alpha. The second son among the three HK Group siblings and a candidate for the next successor. Everything about him seemed perfect—from his striking looks and polite way of speaking to his perfectly matched Omega lover—but things became complicated because of Seong Hajin. Since it turned out this way, he decides to use him to fulfill his own ambition.
Kwon Sabin (Top 2): Dominant Alpha. The youngest among the three HK Group siblings and currently an actor boasting the highest market value. He steps back from management and lives a free life. Since his school days, he has flicked at and subtly bullied Seong Hajin, only to realize belatedly that it was love.
Seong Hajin (Bottom): The only Beta and the ugly duckling of Seongsan Group. On top of being a Beta, he grew up despised because he was born out of wedlock. He experiences a major conflict between his feelings of liking Kwon Sayoung and the guilt of stealing his half-brother’s lover.
Recommended for: When you want to see a multi-sided relationship tangled in greed and love.
