Maria Bethelda Lualhati M. Rodriguez had the most joyful and contagious smile. Every path she walks on brightens up and blossoms with flowers and sparkles. Matalino, maganda, matangkad, mabait, at palaging nakangiti . . . medyo lutang lang minsan, pero at least maganda. She always taught herself to see the beauty and goodness in everything and everyone. There was nothing in this world that could dim her light. There wasn't any kind of adversity that shook her smile and will. Ayaw niya sa pangalan niya-so she gave herself a nickname: Chelsea. Problem solved! Someone told her she talks a lot-so she started vlogging and somehow saved her boss in the process. Problem solved. She has a solution for everything . . . and even when she doesn't, luck is on her side, and she always gets the work done one way or another. Problema na lang talaga ang sumusuko sa kaniya. Except for one problem . . . and that problem is named Atty. Leonard Javier Soledad de Merced-her new temporary boss who could give all the villains in every story a run for their money. Leonard Soledad de Merced is everything she was not-he likes his coffee black, he doesn't smile, and he probably burns the soul of his enemies during his free time, if only he has one. But it's fine. All she needs to do is survive three gruelling months with the spawn of darkness itself. Yet her glimmer of hope disappeared when she woke up one morning after a wild night in Las Vegas with a ring on her finger and a newly registered name on the paper: Maria Bethelda Lualhati R. Soledad de Merced. A drunken incident. A cliché story that she would never expect to happen to her. She has done a lot of stupid things before . . . but accidentally marrying her boss is definitely a new one on the list! Could her bright and joyful smile survive her catastrophic and accidental wedding with her boss, all while keeping all of it a secret?
