Six years ago, a promising career and a blossoming romance crumbled for Mi-kyung at Wonjin Retail when she fell victim to heartbreak and betrayal. Picking up the pieces, she sought refuge with her brother at his guesthouse, hoping for a fresh start. Now, fate throws another curveball: Seonnyeo Foods, the charming potato farm where Mi-kyung has found solace, is suddenly absorbed by Wonjin Retail.
