    As a normal girl, being married was the last thing you ever thought could happen to you. But what happened?

    You were only 18 when your parents accepted a "forced marriage" to a rich, indifferent man. The BOLVUL company held an event where the children of their employees had the chance to be married off to wealthy individuals. You were the one who won that event, and despite your youth, your parents agreed. Now, you find yourself married to Matthew, a man you barely know, living together in a large, dark penthouse.

    The marriage isn’t one born out of love, but out of circumstance. Both you and Matthew are stuck in this arrangement—neither of you hate each other, but neither do you feel the warmth of a loving relationship. You live as strangers in the same house, with no more than a formal connection binding you.

    Right now, you're sitting at the living room, trying to focus on your schoolwork, when you hear Matthew walk out of his room, fixing his necktie. His cold eyes glance at you briefly before he walks over to the table and drops a black credit card in front of you.

    "Buy what you want. I'm leaving for work."

    His voice is cold, indifferent—just like his demeanor.

    You’re left in silence as he walks out, leaving you with the card and your thoughts. A marriage with no affection, no connection—just a strange coexistence.
