In the realm of another universe, he was known as Doctor Park Min Joon, a healer of bodies and souls. But in this world, he stood as CEO Park Min Joon, the enigmatic leader of Seoul Dynamics, the pinnacle of South Korea's corporate giants. Among the top five companies, HJ Corporation held the second position, but it was Seoul Dynamics that held the first position and it's Seoul Dynamics that reigned supreme, contributing a staggering 70% to the nation's economy.
Founded in 1924, Seoul Dynamics had been steered by three illustrious leaders: Park Joeng, Park Min Gi, and now, the elusive Park Min Joon. To the world, they were three distinct individuals, but the truth was a secret known to none. They were all the same man—Park Min Joon, a 900-year-old immortal, whose visage never graced the public eye.
Lee Bo Young, a 200-year-old immortal, was like a junior sister to Park Min Joon. Yet, in her heart, he was more than a brother; he was the one she yearned to marry. Her feelings, a delicate dance of love and longing, remained hidden from the world.
Hye Jin, unaware of Park Min Joon's true identity, lived her life oblivious to the secrets that intertwined their fates. Only Lee Bo Young knew the truth, guarding it with the loyalty of a best friend who had walked into Park Min Joon's life 175 years ago, transforming his existence from a living hell into a journey of companionship and hope.
In the shadows of Seoul Dynamics, their destinies wove a tapestry of love, immortality, and secrets, waiting to be unraveled.

Hye-Jin sat in her opulent office, the city skyline a silent witness to her conversation with He-Ra, her trusted assistant.
"In this situation, only Seoul Dynamics can help," He-Ra suggested, her voice steady.
"But do you think they will even look at us? Even though we hold the second position in the country, Seoul Dynamics is first, and even the government seeks their aid," Hye-Jin replied, her tone tinged with doubt.
"Let's give it a try, okay?" He-Ra encouraged, a hopeful smile playing on her lips.

Min-Joon and Hye-Jin's date was a fleeting moment of joy, captured by the relentless paparazzi. The photos spread like wildfire across the internet, igniting a storm of curiosity and admiration.
"Oh my god, he is so handsome."
"Wow, he looks like a handsome villain character."
"Who is he?"
"Is he from the social circle?"
Despite the frenzy, the PR department of HJ Corporation remained silent, leaving the public in suspense.
Min-Joon had never invited Hye-Jin to his home, and her curiosity grew with each passing day.
Today, however, was different. He sent a Rolls-Royce Phantom 2024 to pick her up.
"Miss Hye, President Park-Min-Joon asked me to pick you," the driver announced.
"President Park Min-Joon?" Jae-I echoed, surprised.
"Yes," the driver confirmed.
Thirty minutes later, they approached a grand gate, guarded by numerous bodyguards. The place was remote, its security tight and unyielding.
The gate opened, and they passed through, parking at the third gate. They exited the car and proceeded to the fourth gate for a security check. After being searched, two bodyguards escorted them inside.
They walked past numerous swimming pools, gardens, and resting areas, each more luxurious than the last. The villa was immense, boasting 45 rooms, 30 living rooms, and quarters for nearly 200 bodyguards, who trained diligently on the premises. Fifty housemaids bustled about, overseen by Miss Mun.
Miss Mun approached Jae-I and Hye-Jin with a warm smile. "Mrs. Park, you are welcome. The President is waiting for you in his private living room."
"Okay," Hye-Jin replied, smiling back.
"When did you become Mrs. Park?" Jae-I whispered, teasingly.
"Shut up," Hye-Jin murmured, a blush creeping up her cheeks.
They entered the private living room, which included a kitchen and dining area. A young man in his twenties sat across from Park-Min-Joon, engrossed in a game on his phone.
As Hye-Jin stepped into the private living room, Min-Joon's expression transformed from one of casual indifference to a mixture of surprise and admiration. His eyes widened slightly, reflecting a glimmer of warmth and genuine delight. A soft, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of his lips, revealing a rare vulnerability. For a moment, the weight of his responsibilities seemed to lift, replaced by a tender gaze that spoke volumes of unspoken emotions. It was as if, in that fleeting instant, the world outside ceased to exist, and all that mattered was the presence of Hye-Jin before him.
