One day, Valentina’s former fiancé Edeled suddenly reappears before her— no longer the sniveling young noble she once knew, but a tall, striking vagabond with a piercing gaze. “...Fiancé? What are you talking about? We broke off our engagement six years ago.” “I’m sorry, my lady, but... when did we ever break it off?” Unaware that he’d been dumped, Edeled now carries a letter ordering his own assassination— a letter sent by none other than Duke Edgar, Valentina’s soon-to-be husband. But the bigger problem? That cunning ex-fiancé refuses to let her go.

Korea University’s number-one trash, Gam Do-woo. “Do-woo hyung, come on. For your return to school, why don’t you seduce someone and sleep with her? It’s not like there’s a woman who can resist your face anyway.” One day, Jian accidentally overhears a crude drinking-table bet being made involving herself and Do-woo. “…Should I try it, then.” At Do-woo’s answer, Jian bites her lip tightly.

Lee Yeon-jo has spent her entire life taking minor acting roles and paying off debts. One day, a golden opportunity comes her way — the new film by the famous director nicknamed “The Princess of Cannes.” Even better, her co-star is none other than the top actor everyone admires, Gwak Jae-i. The problem? It’s a bed scene. With no real experience with men — and scars on her body she’s desperate to hide — Yeon-jo feels anxious about the scene. After botching her first attempt, she blurts out a dangerous proposal to her co-star: “Do you… want to try sleeping together once?” She convinces herself it’s only for the sake of acting perfectly — but deep down, her true motive is something else entirely.

Why does he remember everything— while she alone has lost it all?
