Fired for an affair that never happened, Emma Chen finds herself jobless and blacklisted—all because her billionaire boss Damien Cross needs a convenient scapegoat to protect his company's reputation. But when a scandal threatens to destroy them both, Damien makes her an offer: pretend to be his devoted girlfriend for six months, and he'll clear her name and set her up for life. It should be simple—fake dates, scripted affection, and absolutely no real feelings. Yet the more time Emma spends behind Damien's icy facade, the more she glimpses the broken man beneath the ruthless CEO, and the harder it becomes to remember what's performance and what's dangerously real. When the truth behind her firing finally surfaces, Emma must decide: walk away with her pride intact, or risk everything for the man who destroyed her career but somehow captured her heart.
