Marriage as a Condition

Dariya never planned to become part of the entertainment industry.

She writes stories. She observes people. She turns their lives into fiction.

But one careless comment turns her life into a scandal overnight.

Suddenly her name is everywhere - headlines, hate comments, discussions she never asked for. And when another problem appears - one that could cost her the right to stay in Korea - the company offers a solution that sounds more like the plot of a drama than real life.

A marriage.
Fast. Quiet. Strategic.

To the world it will look like stability.
To the industry it will look like damage control.

There is only one problem.

The man who could solve everything is Jinhan - one of the most famous idols in the country.
A man she has already met once... and not under the best circumstances.

Their marriage begins as a contract.

A deal made out of necessity.
A promise to keep secrets.
A fragile balance of reputation, pride, and control.

But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to remember why the distance was necessary in the first place.

Because in an industry built on carefully crafted images, the most dangerous thing is not a scandal.

It's the truth.

And some truths refuse to stay hidden.
