The Professor’s Secret Sweetheart

About this drama

Seventy episodes, a copy that runs to three thousand characters, and a full-arc blurb that ends mid-word in its final meta sentence, so I'll use the complete story portion and flag where the text breaks. Ophelia is a disadvantaged college student, switched maliciously in infancy by her adoptive mother Kaelin, the biological daughter of the Slin family who grew up in the slums instead. Exploited by harsh adoptive parents and an idle adoptive brother, she keeps up with school through multiple part-time jobs, and a black-market errand to raise money for her adoptive father's so-called medical bills puts her in the path of Marrick, her university's finance professor and heir of the Hurst family. After an unexpected one-night encounter she conceives twins, and the forbidden teacher-student relationship becomes the frame. Marrick is written as refined, restrained, and distant on the surface, intensely possessive underneath, and he has a past attachment: the girl who saved him in his youth, plus a standing engagement to Charis, a ballerina with the same teardrop mole. That mole is the decoy, and the copy resolves it cleanly. Charis returns, targets Ophelia with rumors and fabricated romantic scenes, then teams up with Kaelin to frame Ophelia and attempt drugging her and harming the twins at a prenatal check-up. An old voice recorder settles everything: Ophelia was the girl who saved Marrick, and Charis is Kaelin's biological daughter, the infant swapped in that original scheme. Mother and daughter go to prison, Marrick calls off the fake engagement, twins are born, and three years later Ophelia graduates and lives as a poised heiress. The final sentence about the heroine's transformation cuts off mid-word, and nothing after it exists in the listing.
