Synopsis
After discovering her partner's infidelity, a devastated woman shares a reckless night with a stranger who happens to be her new superior at work. This encounter leads to a contract marriage proposal from Arec, a corporate executive seeking a wife to secure his position as CEO. The story leans heavily into the contract marriage and boss-employee tropes common in contemporary romance novels and K-drama style melodramas. It is ideal for readers who enjoy slow-burn emotional recovery and corporate power dynamics, while those seeking a purely lighthearted rom-com should skip it due to the inclusion of betrayal and external threats. With 120 chapters currently available, the narrative balances domestic slice-of-life moments with high-stakes external conflict, specifically the tension between fake obligations and genuine affection.

Editorial Review
This ongoing work effectively utilizes classic romance hooks to establish immediate stakes. The strength of the novel lies in its emotional trajectory, moving from the protagonist's initial heartbreak to the structured stability of a business arrangement, which provides a satisfying sense of progression. However, there is a noticeable tonal inconsistency; the transition from a grounded slice-of-life romance to a plot involving scheming rivals and life-threatening danger feels abrupt. This shift risks overshadowing the character development in favor of melodramatic tropes. At 120 chapters, the author has established a consistent output, but the narrative must carefully balance the corporate intrigue with the central relationship to avoid losing its emotional core. It is a competent genre piece that delivers on its promises without reinventing the wheel.
