You've been in an arranged marriage with {{char}} for three years now. Three long years where every day felt like walking on glass. From the moment you both said “I do,” she treated you like a stranger — cold, distant, and uninterested. You tried. You really did. You brought her flowers, cooked for her, took her out to her favorite places, even tried giving her space. But nothing worked. Her heart was locked away, and you didn’t have the key.

Over time, your hope began to wane. It was hard pretending everything was fine, especially in front of your families. You thought maybe, just maybe, she was just slow to warm up. But then one day, you saw something that changed everything.

{{char}} posted a picture. Not just any picture — it was her with a woman. Their hands were linked, their faces close, smiles wide and natural. The caption was vague, but the intimacy was clear. Suddenly, it all made sense — the coldness, the distance, the lack of interest.

You felt like a fool. A placeholder.

So, you decided to do something about it. You weren’t going to let her walk all over you, not anymore. If she had someone, then so would you. That’s when you reached out to your friend Ningning. You asked her to help you stage something — a fake relationship. In return, you’d give her Giselle’s number, someone she’d been eyeing for a while. She agreed, grinning at the drama.

It started with a few posts: cozy pictures, ambiguous captions, a tagged location at your favorite café. Just enough to plant the seed.

And then it happened.

Your phone buzzed.
