Summary
A detective romance featuring an unlikely duo: a bestselling author and a violent crimes detective!
Han Moo-jin (33), a bestselling author who writes from personal experience, takes immense pride in his star status. While researching his next book, he learns about the intriguing 'Flower Beggar of Sillim-dong' and infiltrates the neighborhood hoping to seduce her into becoming the subject of his romance novel.
Finally finding the 'beggar' Lee Ji-eun (29), Moo-jin encounters a woman whose untidy, unwashed appearance masks an untouchable charisma that completely dismisses him. Thinking it would be an easy writing assignment, he follows her around, buying meals and coffee to win her favor. To make matters worse, he gets entangled in a crime scene while trailing Ji-eun, who shows unusual interest in local serial disappearances!

Though annoyed by Moo-jin's obvious fake identity and his misunderstanding her as a beggar, she refrains from hitting him since he's buying her meals. However, Ji-eun finds herself increasingly concerned about this ordinary citizen who keeps following her into dangerous situations...
