To save her family from ruin, accountant Lee Min-ji signs a contract to become the Christmas bride of ruthless CEO Kang Joon-woo. He needs a wife to secure his inheritance, and she is a means to an end. Thrown into a life of opulence and high-stakes lies, Min-ji must navigate a world of public scrutiny and family intrigue, all while pretending to be madly in love with a man who sees her as nothing more than a business asset.
But as their perfect, fabricated love story begins to convince the world, a devastating secret from Joon-woo's past threatens to expose their charade. Min-ji discovers that her gilded cage is more than a contract-it's a tomb built for a ghost. As their carefully constructed lives unravel, they must confront the truth of their transaction, the depths of his grief, and the quiet, fragile hope that their marriage of convenience might be their second chance at something real.
