Story

Ivy is the illegitimate daughter who gets handed to Alexander's family in her sister's place. For three years she plays the stand-in wife, tolerated only because she resembles Serena, the woman Alexander actually wants. She keeps her head down, serves his household, and counts the days until the contract runs out.

When the term ends, Ivy takes her money and disappears. Abroad she meets Leonardo, a European noble who treats her like a person instead of a substitute. Meanwhile Alexander learns what Serena really is and what he threw away, and he comes after Ivy. She doesn't need rescuing anymore, and she has someone standing beside her who can match him.
