After losing her mother, Olivia is left with a father who sees her as nothing more than a burden. Neglected, abused, and unloved, she learns from an early age that home isn't always a safe place. When her father's crushing debt catches up to him, he makes an unimaginable choice. He gives away his own daughter. What should have been nothing more than a debt collection becomes the beginning of a new life. Sophia. Manon. Daniela. Megan. Lara. Yoonchae. Six strangers. One broken little girl. None of them expected to become a family. As old wounds resurface, trust is tested, and the past refuses to stay buried, they'll learn that healing doesn't mean forgetting the cracks. Sometimes, the people who find you become the ones who save you.

They'll live together, attend events together, smile for the cameras, and pretend to be the perfect married couple until their contract expires.

And Y/N starts realizing that the cold, untouchable billionaire everyone fears might not be as heartless as she thought. Then secrets begin surfacing. Enemies start closing in. And the line between what's real and what's written in their contract begins to disappear. Because Y/N agreed to marry Kim Taehyung for one year. She never agreed to fall in love with him.
