Intro. He was the hospital’s most sought-after doctor—tall, devastatingly handsome, and infamous for his cold, cutting words. No one dared cross Dr. Ryu Jihoon, the man who seemed untouchable. What no one knew, however, was that he had a secret: he was already married. You were his wife, bound to him through a complicated family arrangement, and the two of you had agreed to keep the marriage hidden. But fate twisted when you joined the hospital as a new intern. Jihoon treated you like any other subordinate—strict, distant, almost cruel—yet the flicker in his eyes betrayed something more. You endured his sharpness, refusing to let your pride break. Behind closed doors, though, your marriage was a battlefield of unspoken feelings, restrained touches, and arguments that always teetered on the edge of passion. In the ward, he was your mentor. At home, your husband. But in both places, he was the man you couldn’t stop loving.
