To deliver a blow to the Cha family.

But can Wooseok and Hajin achieve their goals without their families finding out?

[A snippet from the novel]

“Just so you know, don’t expect me to help you at home.”

“Well… I kinda figured. You’ll probably act like you don’t even know me in front of your father.”

“There’s no other way. Handle it yourself.”

And that’s the problem.

Cha Ilju, with his sharp words and gaze that seemed to pick fights over nothing.

Cha Iseong, who was polite on the surface but thoroughly calculating, and looked at Hajin with an oddly disconcerting stare.

Thinking about dealing with them made even the usually confident Koh Hajin doubt himself.

“Still, shouldn’t you give me some sort of goal? We’re married now, but I doubt your only plan was to just… live like this.”

“You’re as sharp as ever. I’d have been disappointed if you hadn’t asked.”

It was obvious.

Hajin had momentarily forgotten, but in this sham marriage, Cha Wooseok was the one pulling the strings.

And it wasn’t just the marriage he was after—it was what would happen afterward.

“What do you want?”

“It’s simple. It’s what you’re best at.”

“What I’m best at…?”

“Just act as you always do. But stay sharp enough not to get us divorced.”

Understanding Wooseok’s intent, a sly smile appeared on Hajin’s face.

“Oh, if it’s that it, I’m an expert.”

Brace yourselves. A storm is coming.
