William Donovan was in a coma for three years. And for three years, Grace Whitmore never once left his side. She gave up her career, her pride, even her own life—just to be there for the man she loved. But when William finally opened his eyes… He didn’t ask for Grace. He asked for his old flame—the woman who suddenly came back into his life. And Grace? She was just a replacement. A filler. Someone he could throw away the moment the “real one” returned. It didn’t take long before the whispers started: "The true princess is back. The useless stand-in can go now." It hurt. But when the divorce papers landed in William’s hands, one line made him freeze: Reason for divorce: male dysfunction. After that, Grace vanished. And when William finally found her again, she wasn’t the gentle, loyal woman he remembered. He was standing in front of someone new—elegant, confident, and completely untouchable. With a calm smile, Grace looked at him and asked just one thing: “Mr. Donovan, are you here for a male dysfunction consultation?”

Claire loves her husband, Jason, so much that she thinks he will fall in love with her if she is a good wife. But to Jason, Claire was just a scheming woman who tricked him into marrying her. Jason continued to date Alice despite his mother's disapproval, and he even kicked Claire out and divorced her after his mother's death. Claire's love burned out because of her jealousy of Alice, and Jason even accused her of deliberately killing his mother. But one day... Jason came to Claire and apologized. The man who had been cruel and indifferent to her suddenly became gentle and kind! He even knelt at her feet in front of everyone and promised: "Claire, it turns out that I have been loving the wrong person all this time. In the future, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, please forgive me. But Claire was no longer the woman who humbly loved him, because he had killed that stupid woman after divorcing her.

Tiga tahun William Donovan koma. Tiga tahun pula Grace Whitmore mengorbankan segalanya—karier, harga diri, bahkan kebebasannya—demi pria yang diam-diam ia cintai sejak lama. Saat akhirnya membuka mata, yang William cari bukan Grace… tapi Camila, perempuan yang pernah meninggalkannya dan menolak menemaninya saat koma. Bagi William, Grace hanyalah pengganti. Dan ketika Camila kembali, bisikan kejam dari orang-orang pun terdengar: “Perempuan kampung itu udah nggak dibutuhkan lagi. Suruh dia pergi!” Grace memilih mundur. Tapi kalimat yang tertulis di surat cerai membuat William membeku. Alasan perceraian: disfungsi pria. Tanpa air mata, Grace pergi. Tak lama kemudian, ia kembali—bukan sebagai perempuan yang dulu diremehkan, melainkan seorang ahli medis yang anggun, memesona, dan dikelilingi kekaguman. William mengira bisa mendapatkannya kembali. Namun dengan senyum setenang badai yang telah reda, Grace menatapnya dan bertanya, “Tuan Donovan… kamu datang untuk konsultasi disfungsi pria?”
