Três anos atrás, Hazel Vance tomou uma decisão que mudou tudo. Uma noite de paixão com um estranho misterioso em um baile de máscaras deixou-a com mais do que apenas memórias—deixou-a com um filho cujos raros olhos violeta-azulados são uma lembrança constante do pai que ela nunca encontrará. Agora uma mãe solteira lutando para sobreviver, Hazel precisa desesperadamente da posição de assistente executiva no Grupo Sterling. O salário poderia finalmente dar ao seu filho de dois anos, Leo, a vida que ele merece. Mas seu novo chefe, o CEO Liam Sterling, não é nada como ela esperava.

Quando Hazel se recusa a ser intimidada por seu comportamento frio e língua afiada, algo muda entre eles. A atração é imediata e elétrica, crepitando através de cada interação profissional. Mas são os olhos dele que a deixam paralisada. O mesmo tom violeta-azulado impressionante que a encara todas as manhãs quando ela olha para seu filho. À medida que a tensão entre eles aumenta e as linhas entre o profissional e o pessoal começam a se confundir, Hazel se encontra dividida entre sua necessidade desesperada deste emprego e sua crescente atração pelo único homem que poderia destruir tudo pelo qual ela trabalhou. Ela não sabe que Liam tem procurado pela mulher misteriosa do baile de máscaras desde aquela noite que o mudou para sempre. E ele não tem ideia de que a assistente composta e impetuosa que o desafia a cada momento é a mesma mulher que assombra seus sonhos. Quando a verdade finalmente vem à tona, isso os unirá ou destruirá a frágil nova vida que Hazel construiu para si mesma e seu filho?

It always starts with an accident. That’s how all these stories go. One moment, you’re minding your own business, and the next, you wake up in someone else’s body. For Caspian, his accident started earlier than he even knew. Maybe it began when his sister got him into romance novels? Or when he started really sympathizing with the villains at the ends of books? He’d never know. It was too late to worry about it now. For now, he had to find a way to fix this nightmare, or rehabilitate his image, all while trying to free himself from the fate set out for him. All because of the damn "gods" who he'd cut a deal with. These were the only two options he had available, and he wasn’t sure he could succeed at either. The man he had taken over for had been…a true piece of work. And the secret villain of the book he had been reading before he passed. It had been a harem novel. A reverse harem novel. He was trapped in a huge ass CASTLE with a bunch of men who hated him because he was taking affection and time away from their shared wife. All Cass wanted to do was be a good person, not mess around with this poor woman and her far too handsome husbands. But why would no one leave him alone? Was he too suspicious? And why, after going out of his way to avoid them like they had asked, did they keep pestering him? And where did the heroine go? How was he going to manage three, handsome men without the heroine?

Moon Young Jae’s homophobic family considered him a disgrace and held his freedom in their clutch. Even with being obedient, he was not free from their abuse. Young Jae was almost blinded and crippled by his father when he stood up for himself for the first time. Left to bleed and die, luckily, he did have a family who wanted to save him. It was twin cousins, who were disowned long before him, who saved him. Sad and hopeless, Young Jae became curious when he met his cousins’ friend, who understood him better than anyone, even without words. Curiosity got the best of him, and he ended by handing his heart, love and soul over a plater as a price. Slowly, Young Jae fell in love with everything about and around Min Jun and eventually fell for the man. Calculative Wang Min Jun entered Young Jae’s life accidentally. He challenged Young Jae's belief with a warm smile and flipped Young Jae’s world upside down. Min Jun read Young Jae like an open book. He planned to get over the little crush he had on his seniors' cousin brother but failed miserably. Min Jun did not like the often-visited ‘frown’ between those beautiful eyebrows and even the always singing of ‘sigh’ through those sinful lips. Min Jun made it his mission to change it only to fall for everything about Young Jae. Wang Min Jun carried his share of baggage, but he was well-prepared to meet the demons from the past head-on. But Young Jae became a mess whenever his past demons decided to pay a visit. He realised he did not have to face anything alone as he has a wonderful boyfriend who cherishes everything about him.

Even though Young Jae did not want to disturb his lover, he knew he needed some help to impress his boss. "Never for you, love. Tell you what you need?" Min Jun did not lift his head from the file he was going through, but the warmth in his voice reached Young Jae's heart without fail. "Do you have a minute to help me in reviewing my monthly internship report? I have to present to our boss tomorrow morning." Young Jae pouted as he asked. Min Ju looked at his adorable tokki and smiled mischievously. "You are brave, asking your superior to help you sneakily. I can't do it for free. I need a huge bribe to help you. What are you planning to offer?" "Be serious. You have too much work to do." Young Jae chided his shameless boyfriend, who never failed to seize every opportunity to make him moan and groan as he takes him to the pleasurable heaven. "Exactly. I have too much work to do. If I am taking my time to help you, I need something in return. Something so tempting that I don’t mind cramping lots of things later." Min Jun smiled like a devil he was as he grabbed Young Jae towards him. The little rabbit who fell into the cunning wolf's lap did not even get a chance to protest as he was devoured breathlessly. Young Jae forgot why he entered the wolf's lair altogether. Min Jun pushed the files away to make space for his little rabbit to lay down comfortably. Young Jae’s report was long forgotten as a treacherous hand started to caress him again under the shirt as a sinful sound filled the room.
