Summary
Myoui Mina, heiress to a vast family empire, faces a ruthless ultimatum: marry within a year or forfeit her inheritance. Desperate, she clings to a faded photograph of a kind stranger she once met in a Korean hotpot restaurant and forms a risky plan.
Im Nayeon, a talented yet struggling employee at Mina’s Korean headquarters, is stunned when Mina proposes a contract marriage: one year only, strictly transactional, and lived under one roof. What begins as a calculated arrangement slowly shifts as shared routines, domestic intimacy, and quiet acts of care blur their carefully drawn boundaries.
As they navigate office scrutiny and daily life together, Mina finds herself falling for Nayeon’s gentleness, her effortless “wife mode” dismantling Mina’s emotional defenses. When a male colleague flirts with Nayeon, Mina’s jealousy erupts into an unguarded confession that changes everything.
