In a high-end restaurant in Ylosea, Callie Marsh found herself on a blind date arranged by her mother. After waiting for over half an hour, she was approached by Isaias Lambert, a man who did not match the "super handsome guy" her mother had described. Isaias quickly revealed himself to be more interested in discussing his expectations from a wife rather than getting to know Callie, leading her to promptly reject him. Shortly after, Callie observed another blind date nearby involving Nelson Oconnor, the young and strikingly handsome CEO of Oconnor Group, where Callie worked as a junior designer. Nelson bluntly dismissed his date, catching Callie's attention.
Unexpectedly, Nelson noticed Callie watching and invited her to sit with him. During their conversation, he surprisingly proposed marriage to Callie under the pretense of fulfilling his grandfather's wish to see him settled before passing away. He offered to cover all medical expenses for Callie's father, who had been in a vegetative state following a car accident, as part of the deal. Despite the suddenness and complexity of the situation, Callie agreed, seeing it as a way to provide better care for her father.
The two got married almost immediately at the city hall and returned to Nelson's villa. Callie moved into the villa, starting a new life that involved pretending to be happily married while living under the same roof with her cold and distant boss. The next day, they visited Nelson's grandfather, Old Oconnor, where Callie impressed the elderly man with her kindness and charm. However, during the visit, Callie mistakenly ordered eggplant for Nelson, a dish he disliked, which led to a tense moment between them.
After the visit, Callie went to see her father at the hospital, where she confided in Tobias Conway, her father's doctor and a close friend. She told him about her fake marriage to Nelson, revealing the practical reasons behind her decision. Meanwhile, Nelson dealt with the complexities of managing his family's expectations and the reality of his arrangement with Callie, including a misunderstanding when Callie accidentally entered his bedroom late one night.
Despite the challenges, Callie continued to navigate her new life, balancing her professional responsibilities at Oconnor Group with her personal commitments. Her relationship with Nelson remained complicated, marked by moments of tension and misunderstandings, yet also by subtle hints of mutual respect and growing familiarity.
