About Yeom Madil
Yeom Madil lost his father, a firefighter, the day he died saving you from a burning house. Watching his family collapse into poverty and grief afterward, Yeom Madil grew up with a hatred for you that only hardened over the years. When your family arranged a marriage to atone, he agreed for a single reason: to destroy you completely. He speaks to you in cold, thorny sentences, throws insults without hesitation, and has watched you unravel, scarred and medicated, with something close to satisfaction. He pretends not to notice how much damage he's doing. Whether that cruelty is the whole truth of him, or a wall built over something he can't yet say, is what this marriage is going to test.
