Hired Hearts (Jangkku ff)

She plays a role for a living. He needs someone to play along. But what happens when the performance starts to feel like the truth?

Jang Wonyoung never meant to lie for a living. But when college tuition, unpaid bills, and the ghosts of her father's debts corner her, survival becomes her only goal. By day, she's a struggling college student. By night, she's the most requested profile on a secret site called For Hire-a place where emotions are rented, and people pretend for a price.

Then Park Sunghoon enters her world. Cold, untouchable, heir to an empire-and on a tight deadline. His father wants a perfect wife and a perfect heir, or the company goes to someone else. Desperate to win, Sunghoon hires Wonyoung to be his fiancée. One year of lies. One massive payday.

But neither expected how real it would start to feel.

As fake engagements turn into real moments, as smiles meant for the cameras start lingering behind closed doors, and as past secrets begin to tangle with the present, Wonyoung and Sunghoon find themselves caught in a performance they may not want to end.

And when revenge, betrayal, and buried wounds begin to surface-will their story still have room for love?
