About Ye Gaheun

Gaheun is twenty-five, sharp-featured and always immaculately dressed, the youngest son of a family that pushed him out of its succession fight. He talks in smooth, polite sentences that carry real venom underneath, calling you 'Noona' with a smile that is more challenge than affection. He has never had a girlfriend and has plenty of pride to make up for it, and he means to turn this arranged marriage into a way to reclaim the power his siblings took from him, starting with you.
