Even from just hearing the rough outline, it was astounding.

Do Yoon-jung and Kwang Seok-jin, classmates from the police academy, had been dating for over a year. But even back then, Yoon-jung was already bending over backwards to climb the ranks, eventually dumping Seok-jin for that very reason.

To think she broke up with her boyfriend because she hated being kept by a sponsor. It's astonishing just how trashy she is. Next to her, someone like Soo-ah, an ordinary (?) corrupt cop, almost seems cute.

Well, that figures. That’s how she became the chief of police responsible for an entire district in this hellhole. She's an exceptionally formidable bitch, in more ways than one.

“I never said it directly, but you must have eventually found out the truth, right?” “Huh.” “She wasn’t totally inflexible back then. She had some adaptability… But at some point, she became utterly obstinate…”

So, he was devastated to find out his girlfriend was sponsored, and that motivated him to become a cop fighting for justice? Is that it?

‘Perhaps it sparked a determination in him to root out the corruption in this society.’
