He’s hotter, cockier, and way too determined to make their fake marriage feel a little too real. Let the games begin. Because this time, she’s the one holding the power. And he has no idea what he’s up against.

Sonia dan Reza Herdian sudah menikah selama tiga tahun, belum pernah bertemu, dan jarang dikenal siapa pun. Malam hari, Sonia, istri sang CEO, sedang berbaring di villa Reza Herdian sambil mengelus anjing Reza Herdian, dan berbaring di sofa yang dirancang dan disesuaikan oleh Reza Herdian.

Namun, dia bisa memberikan sikap yang tidak baik baginya, tetapi orang lain tidak bisa. Ketika seseorang menghinanya, dia mendukungnya. Ketika seseorang menindasnya, dia langsung melawan dan membunuh mereka.

Beberapa orang juga menemukan perbedaan pada Sonia, misalnya dia berasal dari keluarga biasa namun ternyata memakai perhiasan mewah seharga puluhan juta, juga ada orang mengjeleknya, “sugar daddynya kaya”. Sonia menoleh ke belakang dengan jijik, "Maaf, ini adalah merek yang saya buat!"
