Fleeing a life of quiet torment, Yeon-U Ji finds refuge in a secluded estate where magnolias bloom and time seems to slow. She arrives like spring--soft, unassuming, yet impossible to ignore--carrying scars that glow like dim embers. Yet her presence begins to thaw a man who buried his heart in ice long ago. Beneath a canopy of stars, over a sea of petals, love flickers… fragile, defiant, and dangerously pure.
