They hate each other, and the sight of one another is worse than walking into hell and being stuck there.
But when they are placed in an arranged marriage, Princess Violet of Spain and Prince Xavier of England must become the picture-perfect couple if Xavier is to become king upon his father death. For the media they are a match made in heaven but with no cameras, they're endlessly at each other's throats day and night.
All they have to do is look perfect for the outside world but that's easier said than done. There's rules, conditions and procedures they must follow, even if they rather wouldn't.
Will they learn to tolerate each other or will their feelings of hatred turn into feelings of love that feels oh so wrong but oh so sweet?
