In a world of glitz, grit, and high-stakes power plays, can they survive the Steamy reality of their arrangement, or will the truth behind their Arranged Marriage be their ultimate downfall?

Kalau nggak, aku pasti sudah dipenjara gara-gara si pembohong itu. Dia pasti nggak menyangka aku selama ini hidup di bawah radarnya dan sedang mengandung anakmu." "Begitu anak ini lahir, kamu tinggal cari alasan untuk mengadopsinya dan jadikan putri palsu itu menjadi pengasuh buatku selamanya." "Terima kasih atas kerja kerasmu selama ini, Anton."

Ternyata suami yang kukira benar-benar mencintaiku itu membohongiku selama ini. Orang tuaku juga membohongiku demi melindungi putri kandung mereka. Baiklah, aku tidak menginginkan mereka lagi!
