Jennie’s life takes an unexpected turn when she moves to a new town, ending her first love due to distance, and begins her first year at university completely alone. As if the heartbreak isn’t enough, her parents decide it’s time for her marriage—a decision she feels powerless to refuse. Her first day at university goes worse than she imagined. Arriving two minutes late, Jennie is publicly scolded by the strict and seemingly rude Professor Esler, leaving her embarrassed and unsettled. Later, during the break, he unexpectedly calls her to his office, questioning her about her family before dismissing her without explanation, deepening her confusion about him. That evening, still emotionally fragile and unready to move on from her breakup, Jennie prepares herself for a marriage meeting she never wanted. The groom’s family arrives, but the groom himself is late, claiming independence and sending his family ahead. Just as the meeting concludes and the doorbell rings, Jennie opens the door—only to freeze in shock. Standing before her is Professor Esler, holding a bouquet of flowers, his expression calm and strikingly different from the man she met in the classroom. One moment changes everything, blurring the lines between duty, destiny, and forbidden emotions.
