He strikes a cold, clinical deal with a desperate Sophia trying to save her ailing sister: a one-year Contract Marriage, no intimacy, and a baby via IVF. But as their fabricated love story starts blurring into reality, old enemies, buried secrets, and a manipulative ex threaten to expose their truth and destroy the fragile bond they've built.
