A wealthy heiress from Belvoria’s elite circle asked me to be her dead boyfriend’s substitute. My compensation included a 50,000-dollar base salary, plus 8,000 dollars per shared meal and 10,000 dollars per accompanying shopping trip. My hypocritical older sister quickly stopped me from agreeing to this deal. “We come from a respectable family. How can you sell your dignity for such little money?” Yet she later became a rich man's mistress and successfully married into wealth. Meanwhile, I struggled to balance work and studies to pay for my tuition. This hurt my academic performance. After graduation, I could only find a job with a monthly salary of 3,000 dollars. I even developed a tumor from overworking. I eventually died in a cold and impersonal hospital, unable to afford treatment. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day the young heiress asked me to be her dead boyfriend’s substitute. This time, I agreed without hesitation. I was determined to take this role.

Vivian is drowning under a mountain of medical bills, desperate to secure a life-saving bone marrow transplant for her twelve-year-old brother. With only weeks left to find four hundred thousand dollars, a terrifying miracle arrives in the form of her estranged, identical twin sister, Valerie.

Terrified of his cold reputation and secretly in love with another man, Valerie flees the country on the eve of the wedding. She leaves behind a diary, a massive stack of cash, and a desperate proposition: Vivian must take her place at the altar. The plan seems simple enough: play the part of a glamorous socialite for twelve months, maintain the contract, and walk away with a fortune to save her brother. But Alexander Vance is not a man easily deceived. He expects a materialistic, dramatic wife, but finds himself entirely unsettled by "Valerie’s" sudden warmth, humility, and quiet resilience. As Vivian struggles to navigate high-society events and outrun her own past, every interaction with her new husband becomes a high-stakes game of survival. Bound by a strict contract but drawn together by an unexpected, electric chemistry, Vivian must protect her secret at all costs. Because if the Ice King discovers she is a penniless impostor, he will ruin her family—and the truth will cost her brother his life.
