당신은 나를 바라보지 않는다

“Please save my parents!”

Ilenia, who had lived for 20 years as the daughter of farmers, saw her world turned upside down on her 20th birthday.

Her kind adoptive parents became criminals who had kidnapped her, and her real parents were only eager to sell her off.

Just before being sold to an old man under the pretense of marriage, she pleaded with the man who cared the least about her.

“If I save you, what will you give me in return?”

“I’ll give you anything I can.”

“The only thing of value I see is that body of yours.”

“I don’t care. If you save my parents, I’ll give you my body.”

At last, his eyes glimmered with interest.

“Marry me and have my child. That’s the only worth you’ll have.”
