Principle of Good Faith

Prosecutor Baek had built his career by bending the rules—tampering with evidence, manipulating testimonies, and even enlisting the help of unsavory individuals. His rapid rise through the ranks caught the attention of his superiors, who decided it was time to clean up his image. To that end, they arranged for him to marry a woman from a well-respected family, presenting it as a golden opportunity.

Baek saw this as the perfect moment to sever ties with a certain thug who had long been entangled in his dealings. But what Baek didn’t anticipate was the thug’s reaction. Having secretly supported Baek through thick and thin, the thug felt deeply betrayed upon learning of his plans—and that betrayal quickly gave way to simmering anger.
