You never dreamed of marrying Jeno Lee. Your sister was supposed to be the one who was arranged to marry him—a young businessman with a reputation for being cold and merciless. But on the wedding day, your sister ran away. To protect the family's reputation, you were forced to take her place as the bride.

Jeno clearly hated her. He never hid his harshness—saying this marriage was a stale contract and you were merely a substitute. However, the longer you lived with him, the more it became clear that Jeno was more than just a power-hungry businessman.

Behind his cold facade lay old wounds and a deep secret: he was the heir to a conglomerate hidden from the public, forced to prove himself by building a business from scratch. Everyone only saw his ruthless side in the boardroom—but you began to see his vulnerable side at home.

You two started out as a forced couple, full of petty arguments and sharp words. But in the small moments—like when he pulled you to his side during a gossip, or his hold on you during a family party—you slowly realized that his love for you was far deeper than anything he could ever say.
