Fakecourtship cerita

London society in the 90s glittered with elegance, secrets, and the endless pressure to find the perfect match. Every year, the most powerful families gathered for the marriage season-where reputations were built in grand ballrooms and destroyed by whispers behind fans. For the respected Ardenwood family, this season carries new expectations. Their eldest daughter enters society admired for her grace and charm yet quietly burdened by the weight of her family's hopes. Everyone expects her to make the perfect match. Everyone... except her. Across the ballroom stands a man equally determined to avoid society's plans. Wealthy, influential, and dangerously charming, he has made one rule for himself-he will never marry. But when constant attention from ambitious families becomes unbearable, an unexpected solution appears. A simple agreement. A fake courtship. If they pretend to be interested in one another, society will stop interfering. She will gain the attention and respect needed to secure her future, and he will finally be left in peace. At first, it is only a performance. Stolen dances. Public smiles. Perfectly timed glances meant to convince the entire city. But as the season unfolds, something begins to change. Late-night conversations become more meaningful. Jealousy appears where it should not. And the line between pretend and real begins to disappear. Meanwhile, a mysterious gossip writer watches every move, revealing secrets that could ruin reputations overnight. What began as a harmless plan may soon become the most dangerous risk of all... Because sometimes the greatest scandal of the season is falling in love with the one person you were never supposed to love.

However, if time would go back, she will still do it again, but more careful to avoid being caught. Moments later, when he is satisfied, she finally got out of the bathroom, nose bleeding. However, instead of being concerned for her health, she was more worried worried how she will last in this fake arranged marriage...
