Claire Blake, 23, works double shifts at a café to cover her mother's medical bills and her brilliant sister Clara's college tuition. Her life is a careful sacrifice - no room for dreams, only survival. Then she accidentally spills coffee on Damian Cole, billionaire CEO and the city's most eligible bachelor. Instead of anger, he's kind. Days later, his assistant calls with an impossible offer: pretend to be his girlfriend for six months. His family won't stop pressuring him to marry, and his manipulative ex-fiancée Caroline refuses to accept they're over. In exchange: $10,000 monthly, her mother's medical expenses covered, and a completion bonus that would transform her family's life. Claire knows it's crazy - she doesn't belong in his world of charity galas and high society. But the money would solve every problem. So she signs the contract and steps into a glittering world where everything feels like pretend. Except it doesn't stay pretend. Damian isn't the cold CEO she expected. He remembers her coffee order, values her opinions, treats her family with genuine warmth. His careful respect comes from protecting his sister from abuse - he's not controlling, he's considerate. As Claire navigates his world, the performance becomes real. When he kisses her, he confesses: "This stopped being fake for me weeks ago." But Caroline launches a media campaign suggesting their relationship is paid - uncomfortably close to the truth. With headlines dissecting Claire's background and questioning whether she "belongs," they must choose transparency over hiding. Can a love that started as a contract become real enough to survive the spotlight?

Perang dingin memasuki hari ketiga, tunanganku sengaja menyetujui usulan asistennya untuk melakukan perjalanan keliling dengan mobil. Dia mengira aku akan cemburu dan berebut seperti biasanya. Namun siapa sangka, sebulan kemudian saat dia kembali, dia mendapati aku sudah berubah. Dia membantu asistennya merebut proyekku. Aku tidak lagi ngambek lalu mengundurkan diri, malah mondar-mandir sibuk membantu, lalu menuliskan proposal untuknya dengan rajin. Demi asisten itu mendapatkan bonus akhir tahun, dia menghancurkan desain yang sudah susah payah kuselesaikan. Aku pun tidak lagi berusaha membuktikan diri, melainkan malah menanggung semua kesalahan dan membiarkan dia menghukumku sesuka hati. Bahkan ketika dia hendak menaikkan jabatan asisten itu menjadi direktur utama perusahaan, aku tidak marah. Aku malah secara sukarela menyerahkan seluruh saham yang ada di tanganku, membiarkan tunanganku membaginya dengan bebas. Asisten itu merasa sangat puas. "Lihat, benar 'kan yang kubilang? Kak Penny itu tipe yang nggak bisa dilawan secara keras. Harus diperlakukan dengan sikap dingin, baru ada efeknya. Pasti karena beberapa hari kamu pergi, hasilnya langsung kelihatan. Dia takut kehilangan kamu, makanya sekarang jadi patuh begitu." Tunanganku percaya pada ucapan asisten itu sepenuhnya, bahkan memuji kepintaran asisten itu. Setelah itu, dia sengaja mencariku untuk menaikkan jabatan dan gajiku, bahkan untuk pertama kalinya berjanji akan memberiku sebuah pernikahan yang tak terlupakan. Namun, dia tampaknya lupa. Selama masa liburan itu, dia sudah menandatangani surat pengunduran diriku. Dan aku juga sudah putus dengannya. Sejak saat itu, kami memutuskan hubungan sepenuhnya, tanpa ada lagi keterkaitan apa pun.

After the Third World War, women seized the opportunity to overcome the surviving men, creating a new nation in part of what used to be the United States ruled by the Motherhood.
