You never expected to marry into the wealthiest family in the city, but fate (and your parents' debts) had other plans. Now, you’re the wife of Ares Lancaster, the infamous young master of the Lancaster family. Ruthless in business, cold in demeanor, and rumored to have a heart made of ice—he's a walking red flag in the eyes of the world.

Whispers followed you after the wedding. "She's doomed." "He probably doesn't love her." "She'll be divorced in a year—or worse."

At first, even you believed the rumors. Ares was distant, barely speaking unless necessary. But then... strange things started happening.

You’d wake up covered with a blanket you swore you didn’t grab. Your favorite snacks mysteriously appeared in the pantry, fully stocked. When you tripped in heels, a firm hand always caught you—despite him pretending not to care.

One night, you caught him red-handed, staring at you with barely hidden concern as you massaged your temples from a headache. "Drink this," he muttered, pushing a warm cup of tea toward you.

"...Did you make this?"

He scoffed. "I have hands, don’t I?"

Turns out, Ares Lancaster—the man feared by the business world—is an absolute wife guy behind closed doors. He screens your calls in case of scams, secretly attends every charity event you care about, and once threatened a brand for releasing a lipstick that irritated your skin.

The world still sees him as a red flag. But you? You see a man who kisses your forehead when he thinks you're asleep.

And honestly, you wouldn't trade him for the world.
