◎ Purpose
As the genre of the work is romance, I thought about what parts of romance women fantasize the most about. It centers around a Cinderella story, the oldest and most loved keyword, as well as a woman dressed like a man.
Looking at the two keywords, I thought these two were enough to make the reader happy.
I wrote the novel hoping that readers would become the main characters and satisfy their needs and be happy while reading.
◎ Novel Introduction
Choi Jinhyuk, the second son of Taesan Group, one of the top 5 conglomerates in Korea.
In order to win the race against his brother to become successor of the group, he has to turn Yeo Eunwoo into the son of a chaebol within 180 days!
But something is weird? All his life, only women have made his heart flutter but now it’s reacting to Yeo Eunwoo, a man?
Yeo Eunwoo, who is obviously a man but is actually biologically a woman.
Living day by day was growing harder, until Jinhyuk, the second son of a chaebol, appeared in front of her like a savior, mistook her for a man, and offered her a part time job. However, whenever she runs into him, her heart starts to beat weirdly…..
A relationship between two people who are dysfunctional from the first meeting. An unpredictable romance between Eunwoo, who hides her gender, and Jinhyuk, who senses that his heart is beating strangely. Not an ordinary Cinderella story! Beginning now!
◎ Characters
Choi Jinhyuk (30 years old / Vice President of Taesan Electronics, an affiliate of Taesan Group)
“What… okay. I’ll be straight with you. Yeo Eunwoo, I want to sponsor you.”
The so-called 2nd generation of chaebol.
The second son of Chairman Choi of the Taesan Group, one of the top 10 conglomerates in Korea.
Face, body, he doesn’t lack in anything.
He’s in the middle of a battle with his brother for the position of next chairman. In order to receive an investment for a newly planned project, he approaches Yeo Eunwoo and proposes a strange contract.
In the beginning their relationship was only contractual, but he slowly suffers as he doesn’t realize he is attracted to Eunwoo, who he only knows as a man.
Yeo Eunwoo (21 years old, University student)
“If you flirt with me one more time, I’ll handcuff you!”
A bright and cheerful person with an unobtrusive personality.
Since she was young, she decided she had to be strong because of her busy parents. She grew up under the influence of three older brothers who acted like men. Because of her manly appearance, most people mistake her for a boy.
She does well in situations where it is usually difficult for a woman to come forward.
One day she meets Jinhyuk, who appeared like a ray of light, and her life changes.
Woo Jeonghwan (27 years old / management support team leader at Jeongjin Savings Bank)
A character with sharp senses who could immediately tell Eunwoo was a woman. Even though Eunwoo is different than ordinary woman, he became interested from the moment he first saw her because she gave him a good feeling.
Later, he uses a strategy to approach Eunwoo by buying dozens of pink dresses that remind him of her and presenting her with one every time they meet.
His father, the CEO of Jeongjin Financial Group, used to belong to a gang, so there are a lot of dark rumors surrounding him, but he is actually weak-minded and pure.
Kang Hana (30 years old / former model)
Jinhyuk’s ex-fiancée and best friend. Commonly known as female friend.
They playfully got engaged as a way for Jinhyuk to avoid the marriage that had been arranged for him since childhood.
After that, she got married in a foreign country and lived there for several years before getting divorced and returning to Korea.
She was kicked out after her parents heard she got divorced, so she stays in Jinhyuk’s guest room and watches over and helps Jinhyuk and Eunwoo.
She meets Eunwoo’s brother Myungwoo by chance and believes it is fate.
Yeo Myungwoo (31 years old / successor of a farm)
Eunwoo’s oldest brother. At first, he is suspicious of Jinhyuk and tries to stay away from him, but after seeing him try his best to get Eunwoo’s approval he gradually opens his heart to him.
Myungwoo, a typical blunt Gyeongsangdo man, meets Hana, who looks cold on the outside but is actually sweet and pure.
◎ Summary
Eunwoo is a female college student with a manly appearance that makes anyone who looks at her mistake her for a boy.
One day, Jinhyuk appears in front of Eunwoo and offers her a high-priced part-time job.
The job involves turning Eunwoo from a student into a perfectly natural high-class chaebol son within 180 days. Along with this, another condition is that Eunwoo has to live in Jinhyuk’s house for those 180 days. Eunwoo, who has been hiding her girly side under her masculine appearance, is concerned whether she can survive that long without being found out as a woman.
On the other hand, Jinhyuk, on the verge of losing ground in the race against his brother for the position of Chairman, meets with the nation’s top investor, Chairman Kang. Chairman Kang jokingly suggests a bet with Jinhyuk.
If he could pick a random employee working at the restaurant and turn him into a perfect upper-class chaebol heir within 180 days and verify the results, then Chairman Kang will invest heavily in him. After confirming Yeo Eunwoo as an acceptable choice, he approached him and persuaded him to take the contract, but he faces unexpected difficulties.
Although his heart had only pounded for women his whole life, suddenly he felt shaken around Yeo Eunwoo, who he only knew as a man.
Without knowing her true identity as a woman, he agonized over her gender and eventually pushed her away. Eunwoo deceives Jinhyuk and puts all her efforts into living as a man, but she can’t control her feelings and gradually becomes drawn to him.
In the end, the two are on the verge of breaking apart. However, Jinhyuk, who can’t forget her, accepts Eunwoo regardless of gender, and Eunwoo, who missed the opportunity to reveal that she’s a woman, has a happy life while she simultaneously suffers.
Jinhyuk accidentally finds evidence that Eunwoo is a woman and feels betrayed because she didn’t reveal the truth to him in advance.
Eunwoo realizes he figured out her gender because of his recent changes in behavior and goes to Busan where he went for a business trip to reconcile with him after revealing all the facts.
Later, the two learn from Chairman Kang that they were actually originally in an engagement since childhood and promised to be married, but Jinhyuk is concerned for Eunwoo, who is still very young.
Meanwhile, rumors are beginning to spread around the stock market that 2ndgeneration chaebol Jinhyuk is gay. The rumor has various consequences, including a plunge in Taesan Group’s stock prices, and Woohyuk, Jinhyuk’s older brother, begins a plot to have Jinhyuk removed as vice-president.
However, he overcomes the crisis with the help of Chairman Kang and instead uses it to solidify his position.
Jinhyuk and Eunwoo go to greet Eunwoo’s parents in order to receive permission to get married.
While with her parents in the countryside, they uncover shocking facts. Chairman Kang and Jinhyuk’s grandfather, the first Chairman of Taesan Group, were actually responsible for Eunwoo’s grandfather’s suicide.
After this shocking fact is revealed, the two are forced to break up.
While staying with Eunwoo, Jinhyuk realized that what he really wanted wasn’t to be the successor to Taesan group, and gave up the seat of chairman to his brother.
Jinhyuk begins anew with a strong ambition to raise up the restaurant business, which has been the weakest area in Taesan.
Meanwhile, Eunwoo finishes her schooling and graduates safely. Even after a few years the two cannot forget each other, until they meet by chance
The two meet again with a more mature gaze and realize that they cannot control the feelings that are blooming again, so they persuade those around them to reconcile.
Afterwards, the two get married and continue to look to a future that will unfold in front of them together. Additionally, they promise to love each other forever.
