A woman is considered to be lucky to have found the love of her life at twenty-three, but this chance has long escaped the grasp of Sandara’s hand. At the age of thirty-one, she is considered to be at the edge of spinsterhood, and she had lost all hope of ever finding love. Ten years prior, she had plans of settling down with the man she loved the most, the son of an invalid soldier, Lee Donghae, but she hastily breaks off the engagement swayed by her fears and obligations. She was an orphan at the age of fifteen and had lived under her Aunt’s care. Sandara looked up to her aunt and did her best to repay her kindness, so when her Aunt readily refused to acknowledge Lee Donghae to be her fiancée , Sandara complied with a heavy heart. For many years, the guilt and regret consumed her. She found herself enslaved to the ghost of the love she threw away, and constant questions of “what ifs” haunted her. To fill the void of her lost love, Sandara dedicated most of her adult life in fulfilling her dreams of opening her very own pastry store. She was struggling to make ends meet, as her family’s fortune perished due to her Aunt’s health failure.  In a series of events, Donghae returns to their hometown as a rich and successful businessman, he finds Sandara and her Aunt in the brink of financial distress and he ultimately becomes the tenant of the villa that Sandara’s father had once owned. Time has passed yet it did not alter his captivating looks, and Sandara finds herself completely and utterly shattered by his cold gestures. Is it too late for love to find its way back?
