A struggling fashion assistant has one problem she can't solve with talent: her brother is dying and the bills keep climbing. So when a cold, unreachable man offers a contract marriage — money for a wife on paper only — she signs. It's temporary. It's transactional. It's the only door open.
What she doesn't know is that her new husband is living under a false name, quietly dismantling the family empire that cast him out. Every move he makes is a step in a longer war, and she's now standing in the middle of it. The closer she gets to the real man behind the mask, the more dangerous her position becomes — because the people he's hunting will use anyone he cares about, and he's starting to care.
