In South Korea's glittering entertainment industry, power is everything—and Baek Hyun-woo has more of it than anyone else. As the ruthless CEO of Baek Entertainment, Hyun-woo built his empire on one simple belief: everything has a price. Talent, loyalty, ambition, even love—give people enough power, money, or opportunity, and eventually they'll say yes. Then he meets Park Si-woo. A struggling omega actor juggling auditions, café shifts, and overdue rent, Si-woo has spent years fighting an industry that sees omegas as something to be managed rather than respected. When Hyun-woo offers him the lead role of a lifetime, Si-woo asks only one question: "What does it cost?" His refusal shakes a man who has never truly been denied. Not Yours to Own is a slow-burn Korean Omegaverse romance about power, consent, ambition, healing, and discovering that the greatest victory is not making someone stay—it's becoming someone they choose. Love cannot be negotiated. Trust cannot be purchased. And the person he wants most is the one he can never own.
