She thought it was love.
He thought it was strategy.
When a warm-hearted, struggling young woman meets a cold billionaire CEO with a shattered past, fate doesn’t offer them a fairytale—it offers them a contract.
To save her family and escape poverty, she agrees to marry him. To secure control of his company and avoid emotional entanglement, he uses her as a pawn. Their marriage is real on paper, but fake in his heart—or so he believes.
From the moment they say "I do," the cracks begin to form. During a two-month honeymoon in isolation, they are forced to share a bed, meals, silence—and eventually, secrets. She believes in him. He pushes her away. But when loyalty meets fear, and warmth melts through his emotional armor, the lines between fake love and real feelings start to blur.
Returning to the city, their fragile bond is tested by jealous exes, ruthless business rivals, and the shadows of the past. He doesn’t believe he’s capable of love—but he might just lose the only person who ever loved him without asking for anything in return.
Now, he must decide: will she remain his pawn, or become the only woman he’ll ever fight to keep?
