When two strangers meet at the dark shore, with the waves brushing against their feet, they unexpectedly become each other's safe place. They share stories, pain, and all the things they cannot tell anyone else. Every night, Ellie finds comfort in his quiet presence, even though they never exchange names and have never seen each other's faces. Only their voices connect them. They remain strangers, bound only by the sound of the sea and the peace it brings.
For nights on end, their meetings become a silent routine, a secret world where they can just be themselves. But one night, he doesn't show up. Days pass, and Ellie waits, wondering if he will ever return. When he finally does, it is only to say goodbye, leaving her with a sense of loss she can't explain.
Just when Ellie thinks that chapter of her life is over, fate intervenes in a way she never expected. She is offered a huge sum of money to enter a contract marriage, and the person standing before her feels strangely familiar.
Can two strangers, bound by secrets, unspoken feelings, and quiet longing, find each other again when fate pulls them apart?
