Burnt out from the pressure of his legacy, he trades his name for a wrench to rediscover what truly matters. He didn’t plan on falling for the tough, beautiful girl next door.As their connection deepens, long-buried secrets surface. Their families share a dark past, a red string of fate binds them from childhood, and one devastating truth threatens everything they’ve built.This isn't your typical billionaire romance. It's a story of slow-burn attraction, real-world struggles, unexpected twists, and the healing power of love.Can love still bloom between two people from opposite worlds, bound by fate, but divided by truth?
