When K-pop royalty Jackson Wang agrees to an arranged marriage to save face from a career-threatening scandal, the last thing he expects is to be paired with Kole, a loud, unapologetic street interviewer who went viral for asking celebs wildly unfiltered questions including Jackson himself, once. Neither of them wanted this. Kole hates rich snobs. Jackson hates losing control. But with their names trending and the contract binding them for a year, they're forced to live together, attend events, and pretend to be a couple in love. One's used to being chased. The other doesn't chase. Tension simmers. Sparks fly. Clothes eventually hit the floor. But in a world where everything is scripted, will their slow-burn passion become something real? Tropes: Arranged marriage Enemies to lovers Fake dating turned real Power couple dynamics Slowburn but spicy and teasing Public tension, private explosions Emotional walls slowly crumbling
