Julia Jiang, a renowned Southeast Asian artist known for her groundbreaking work that fuses traditional and contemporary styles, is thrust into an arranged marriage with Leo Michele, a charismatic and world-renowned Italian F1 racer. Both are fierce in their respective fields-Julia, with her fiery passion for her art, and Leo, with his unyielding drive for victory on the racetrack.
Bound by duty, the marriage is not of love but of family obligation and strategic alliance, leaving both Julia and Leo resentful and determined to maintain their independence. Julia views Leo as arrogant and reckless, while Leo sees her as a distant, cold perfectionist. Their initial animosity is palpable, with both struggling to reconcile their individual dreams with the constraints of their union.
However, as they are forced into increasingly intimate situations, their walls begin to crack. Beneath the surface of disdain, they discover shared vulnerabilities and untapped admiration for each other's talents. The tension that once drove them apart now draws them closer, transforming their animosity into a complex, slow-burning passion. But as both strive for success in their own careers, they must confront their feelings and navigate the pressures of public image, family expectations, and the unrelenting desire for freedom.
