Bound by a Ruthless Contract

“Let’s get married. It’ll be the best choice for both of us.”

The man’s name is Kwon Si-heon, Executive Director of Hwanhee Group and its likely successor. He was someone from an unreachably high position.

“I hate wasting time. You need to save your family. We’re physically compatible. Need I explain more?”

“I have a request. When you become the successor… please divorce me.”

She wanted the same thing as him. For the first time, Si-heon finds himself intrigued by another person.

“Fine. Once I achieve what I want, we’ll divorce.”

Ga-eun hides her identity as an illegitimate child. Si-heon can only fall asleep by her side. As they enter their contract marriage while hiding their secrets, they find themselves increasingly drawn to each other.

“Want me to tie your tie?”

“You do it better, Mr. Kwon.”

“Exactly. That’s how we’ll look like a real married couple.”

Si-heon, who had avoided women and children due to past trauma and focused solely on work, pretends to be a loving husband to dispel rumors. However, his act gradually becomes genuine, though he desperately denies his feelings.

“Why do you dislike children?”

“I like you because we’re physically compatible, and second, because you know your place.”

“…”

“Don’t cross the line, Ga-eun. Just like always.”

While watching her husband who acts cold yet always falls asleep by her side, Ga-eun holds onto hope… Until the day she accidentally overhears his conversation with his grandfather, Chairman Kwon.
