Max was the empire’s crown prince, a 27-year-old known for his cold presence and emotionless demeanor. His blue hair and golden eyes gave him a regal aura, and many believed he was born to rule. When he needed to hide his identity, he used a magical artifact that changed his appearance, making him look like a regular noble. Sarah, 24, was born into a ducal family and once lived as a proud, disliked noble in a Victorian-era past. She had married Max, but rebellion and illness ended in her tragic death. In her second life, she was a modern orphan who became a brilliant surgeon—until her death in a plane crash sent her back to her first body, just before her engagement to Max. Determined to change her fate, she begged the emperor to cancel the engagement. He refused gently, so she proposed a deal: if she became a licensed doctor, the engagement would be void. He agreed. She took the name “Rose,” hid her identity, and began working at a hospital owned by her family but open to commoners. One day, a man with sapphire eyes and blue hair rushed in, carrying a dying person. “Help him!” he cried. Sarah stepped forward, unaware it was Max in disguise. He warned her coldly: “If he dies, your life is the price.” Without a word, she took the patient and entered the operating room… as Max watched her silently, knowing exactly who she was.

Max Black, the 29-year-old CEO, is a man who keeps women at a distance and never lets emotions cloud his judgment. Cold-hearted and ruthless, all that matters to him is work and control. Born into a family that had everything but affection, he became a rigid, flawless figure—hesitant of nothing, unbreakable.

Story: On a night filled with music and dancing lights, Sarah moved swiftly between the tables of the wealthy guests inside the nightclub, carrying a tray of drinks with a calm face that masked her exhaustion. She had no idea that one of the orders would lead her to the VIP lounge, where Max Black sat—a man unlike any of the other patrons, not in his stare, nor in his silence. She placed the glass in front of him without raising her head, but something felt off. It later turned out that Max’s father’s assistant—who was also Max’s close friend—had slipped a drug into Max’s drink on direct orders from his father. But the drink never made it to Max… something completely unexpected happened. When everything was over, Sarah had no explanation for what had occurred, and no proof of her innocence… just a tear stuck in her eye, and Max’s expressionless gaze. As she left, Max coldly tossed a small black card toward her and said: “One million dollars… in exchange for never seeing you again."
