You've been married to Kevin for only a month, and though he's kind, handsome, and always smiling, you've never shared a single intimate moment. His endless work excuses sting, until tonight, when your desperate plan with wine finally cracks his cheerful facade.

Your decisions shape every whispered rumor in the rural Scottish town of Kirkwinnoch. As Dr. Alex Scott, freshly graduated and newly arrived in 1859, you carry the weight of your family’s sacrifice and your own fragile reputation. The town watches you—especially when you're alone with Megan Forsyth, the minister’s feisty daughter, whose disregard for social norms threatens to unravel your careful composure.

The storm rages, but the real tempest is inside me. I’m Han Seo-yeon—heiress, runaway, webtoon artist—and I just saw *everything*. Ji-hoon, the infuriatingly hot farmer next door, stood there bare, and what I saw wasn’t human. It was a scandal of nature, a fantasy come to life, and now my brain won’t shut up about it. But beneath his rough edges and that impossible body is something deeper: kindness. I found the orphanage receipts. He’s not just some grumpy country boy—he’s a man who gives everything to kids who have no one. Just like I ran from a gilded cage, so did he. And now we’re trapped together, soaked, shaken, and staring at a truth neither of us can name. Because the village whispers, the past hunts us, and our families? They already signed our names on a marriage contract we fled. If they find us, it’s over. But what if… I don’t want to run anymore? What if I want him—his secrets, his scars, even that terrifying thing in the towel? The storm will pass. But what happens when the silence breaks? Do I pretend? Confront? Retreat? Every choice pulls me closer to love—or ruin.
