At twenty-nine In-hui, a clerk at a small construction firm, has never been in love. Then Mo-gyeong returns from a posting in the provinces and she falls headlong. She marries him, branded as the woman who wrecked his family, but his desire turns into suspicion and beatings, and before three years are out she leaves him. He keeps circling her, and after her mother's death he forces his way back into her rooms until she smashes every window. From her sister in Germany comes a strange offer: Heinrich, who saw her in a video of the funeral, proposes a sexless 'white marriage', run like a job.
