This Contract Romance Must Not Turn Real!

Wealthy heiress Xia Zhenzhen is still reeling from the sting of her ex-boyfriend’s betrayal when her overbearing mother drags her into yet another arranged marriage meeting. Desperate to escape the suffocating pressure, she takes her sister’s bold advice and enters a contract romance with a strikingly handsome waiter she meets at a local bar. Their arrangement is straightforward: his time in exchange for her money. In public, they are to play the part of a deeply affectionate couple, but behind closed doors, they must remain complete strangers. The one unbreakable rule between them is that this fabricated relationship must never evolve into genuine love. However, maintaining strict emotional boundaries proves far more difficult than either of them anticipated. As their fake courtship continues, the carefully drawn lines begin to blur, and Zhenzhen notices an unexpected shift in her partner’s behavior. Instead of the detached professionalism their agreement demands, he starts watching her with an intense, almost angry gaze—leaving her to wonder if their strictly business arrangement is spiraling dangerously out of control.
