Initially bound by animosity stemming from a humiliating past encounter, they are forced to cooperate for the sake of their families. As they work together, their forced proximity and shared vulnerability chip away at their animosity, paving the way for a begrudging partnership and, eventually, a blossoming romance.

She, tasked with securing a advantageous marriage to salvage her family's name, secretly yearns for independence and pursuing her own business venture.

She refuses to let societal norms dictate her future and instead fights to achieve financial independence and pursue her entrepreneurial dreams, all while challenging the established norms of her world.
