Ares Collin, a successful architect with a taste for the finer things in life, commands wealth, admiration, and romantic conquests with effortless charm. Yet beneath his enviable exterior lies a hollow truth—genuine love has eluded him. After countless disappointments, he's surrendered the search, convinced that true connection doesn't exist in his world. Roseanne West lives a paradox: a celebrated romance novelist who scorns love itself. Cynical and guarded, she's sworn off relationships entirely, publishing her bestselling works anonymously to avoid recognition. At twenty-five, she remains convinced she'll never experience intimacy—a fact she's made peace with. On her birthday, Roseanne drowns her sorrows in alcohol, waking beside a stranger with no memory of how she arrived. The encounter cost her virginity, yet she feels nothing—no regret, no tears, only indifference. She prepares to vanish into anonymity as she always does, but the mystery man intercepts her at the lift doors. In that pivotal moment, two souls convinced they're incapable of love collide, and an unexpected passion ignites—bound by a contract marriage that neither anticipated would change everything.
