Sialan! Semesta seolah sedang meludahi wajahku tepat saat jemariku hampir menyentuh tirai cahaya Aurora di langit Moonsphire.  Mimpi itu sudah di depan mata, namun mereka kembali datang untuk merenggut nyawaku—tepat sebelum keajaiban semesta dimulai. ​Ternyata, kecantikan dan bakatku yang dielu-elukan di atas panggung sandiwara hanyalah sampah di mata pria itu. Semua lampu sorot dan tepuk tangan penonton tidak cukup untuk memenangkan satu keping hatinya.  Jauh di belakangku, di dalam kegelapan yang pekat, dia justru membagi ranjang dan rahasia dengan sosok yang paling aku percayai. ​Pengkhianatan mereka adalah belati yang jauh lebih tajam daripada pedang mana pun yang pernah menembus dadaku. ​Tujuh kali. Tujuh kali aku mati bersimbah darah, menyaksikan mereka berdua tertawa di atas panggung sandiwara yang mereka bangun dari kehancuranku. Dan tujuh kali pula aku ditarik paksa dari liang lahat, bangkit dengan dendam yang membakar namun selalu kandas di tengah jalan.  Waktu telah menjadi labirin yang menyesatkan, dan kini aku tersungkur di sini; terperangkap dalam kastil megah yang tak lebih dari sekadar peti mati berlapis emas. ​Aku bukan lagi seorang selebritas yang dipuja banyak orang. Aku adalah sosok yang terbentuk dari dendam yang belum terbalas, yang ditulis oleh darah dan perselingkuhan.

Dipaksa menikah demi menyelamatkan keluarganya dari lilitan hutang, Evelyn Wijaya (21) harus menjadi istri dari Samudra Bumiputera (27) — pria dingin yang duduk di kursi roda dan menolak dicintai. "Cari Sugar Daddy, Eve! Siapa tahu bisa menyelesaikan masalah yang kamu hadapi sekarang." Saran Ane Jesslyn saat mereka sedang minum bersama di sebuah klub. "Gila! Aku bukan pelacur, An." Histeris Evelyn dengan semburat wajah bercampur. "Aku punya kenalan. Mereka membutuhkan pekerja paruh waktu, gajinya gede Eve. Kalau kamu mau, aku bisa atur pertemuan kalian." "Benarkah? Berapa yang bisa aku dapat dalam satu bulan?" matanya bersinar, seperti mendapatkan angin segar. "10 juta untuk merawat putranya yang sakit. Dan 100 milyar, jika kamu bersedia menikah dengannya." Ane menatap tajam, ia memberi pilihan yang sulit. Evelyn membeku, ia menelan salivanya mentah-mentah. Bagi Samudra, Evelyn hanyalah “pengantin titipan” yang datang karena terpaksa, bukan karena cinta. Namun bagi Evelyn, pernikahan ini adalah awal dari ujian terbesar dalam hidupnya— menghadapi pria yang membenci dunia… dan juga dirinya sendiri. Saat rahasia masa lalu mulai terbongkar, Evelyn dihadapkan pada pilihan: bertahan dengan cinta yang perlahan tumbuh, atau pergi sebelum hatinya hancur ketika mendapati ada dua wajah yang sama di hadapannya.
