A marriage of half truths

She was taught to obey.
He was taught to choose.

Soe-ah never imagined marriage would be a choice she'd have to make without actually having one.

A doctor with strict parents, a carefully built life, and a past she'd rather leave buried, she's told to meet a man her family has already chosen for her.

Lee Heeseung isn't what she expects.

He's annoyingly playful, stubbornly kind, hopelessly devoted to his music-and apparently determined to remind her that "no" is still an answer.

What begins as an arranged marriage between two complete strangers slowly becomes something neither of them knows how to name.

But their marriage begins with half-truths.

A past that was never mentioned.
Questions that never received answers.
Memories that don't quite fit.
And a family that seems to know far more than they're willing to say.

Soe-ah thought the hardest part would be learning how to live with a stranger.

She was wrong.

Because sometimes the person you trust most is standing beside you while the truth is being hidden.

And when the lies finally begin to unravel, Soe-ah will have to ask herself one question-

If the life you knew was built on lies, which parts of it were ever truly yours?

An arranged marriage. A thousand untold truths. And two people who were never supposed to choose each other.
