Exposed. Targeted. Unbreakable.
The marriage contract was supposed to be a shield. Instead, it became a target.
Olivia Lim mastered the logic of code. But fabricated evidence surfaces overnight. Her voice weaponized, Seoul's elite turning on her with surgical precision. The Tsinay cybersecurity expert is branded a corporate spy. With an unknown enemy orchestrating from the shadows, she has only one weapon left: a chaebol husband she was never supposed to love.
Ji Hoon Park built an empire on calculated risks. But standing by his wife against the board and media isn't a calculation. It's war. He's fighting to protect the only woman who saw the man behind the CEO.
The stakes have shifted. It's no longer about a contract. It's about survival.
In a city where secrets are currency, being a Power Couple makes them the ultimate target. But their enemies underestimated what happens when a cybersecurity expert and a chaebol CEO stop playing defense.
The countdown has begun. There is no system reset.
