It Was Just a Contract Marriage - Until He Started Acting Like I Was His!

He’s Seoul’s most successful billionaire, known for his discipline, his control, and a carefully guarded heart.
I’m a woman rebuilding my life, trying to stay invisible in a world that rewards power and perfection.
Our marriage was supposed to be practical.
A contract to protect his legacy.
A solution to my problems.
No feelings. No complications. No jealousy.
But somewhere between shared breakfasts, late-night conversations, and the way he watches me when he thinks I’m not looking… things change.
He starts reaching for me without realizing it.
His voice softens when he says my name.
And when another man laughs too close to me, I see something new in his eyes—something real.
What began as an agreement slowly turns into something neither of us planned for.
Real affection. Real desire. Real fear of losing each other.
With time running out, we have to decide:
Was this marriage just a temporary arrangement…
or the beginning of the love neither of us was brave enough to ask for?
