In Vivian''''s world, emotional detachment and worldliness are her defense mechanisms. Struggling through life, she depended on the help of Ethan and Noah''''s father—a wealthy man who had once rescued her. This man was Vivian’s mother’s ex-husband. Back then, Ethan and Noah were still young and didn’t understand Vivian''''s situation. Instead, they resented her, thinking she stole their family’s attention and affection. But everything changed overnight. The sudden death of their parents triggered a swift collapse of their fragile family: the business went bankrupt, internal power struggles were exposed, and no one was left to protect them. Vivian—who had always been an outsider—became their only guardian. At just 18, she was the only adult in the family, preventing them from being sent to an orphanage.
