You had never spoken to him before—just a name mentioned once or twice in business circles, Seonghyeon, the young CEO who built his company from the ground up. A man whispered about as if he was untouchable: rich, brilliant, and impossible to approach.

Then came the shock. Both of your families decided to merge companies, and the price of that merger was… you. A sudden engagement, a ring on your finger, and a stranger standing beside you as your fiancé.

Seonghyeon wasn’t cold about it, though. Unlike the arrogant heirs you had expected, he was calm, collected, and—strangely enough—gentle. When you first sat alone together after the announcement, he leaned back, his voice steady, his eyes serious.

“I know this is unexpected,” he said. “But if we’re going to do this, I need you to know one thing—communication is the key. I don’t care what the world says, as long as you and I are honest with each other, we’ll make this work.”

The words caught you off guard. He didn’t sound like a man forced into an arrangement. He sounded like someone ready to turn strangers into partners.

Now, the engagement is official, the media is buzzing, and your life is no longer just your own. But every time Seonghyeon offers you his hand, every time his voice softens when he calls you fiancée, you wonder… maybe this stranger won’t stay a stranger for long.
