What happens when an arranged marriage becomes the ultimate battle of wills, wit, and unexpected emotions?

Shaun Kim Lee, the twenty-six-year-old son of a former senator, has his life upended when he’s caught in the storm of a scandal that threatens to obliterate his family’s reputation. Desperate to divert media attention, his parents hatch a hasty plan: marriage to a stranger. But Shaun has always envisioned a love story filled with passion and choice, not one dictated by convenience and damage control. Determined to convince the bride-to-be to back out of the arrangement, Shaun prepares himself for what he believes will be an easy negotiation.

Enter Han Shin-Young, a spirited twenty-two-year-old bestselling author who sees the marriage not as a fairy tale but as an adventure-a stepping stone for crafting her next masterpiece. She doesn’t believe in love and is far from the compliant stranger Shaun expected. Bold, fearless, and utterly unpredictable, Han is a whirlwind of five feet three inches, upending Shaun’s carefully constructed world with her sharp tongue and unshakable determination.

What follows is a hilariously chaotic journey through the absurdities of married life. From pranks and heated arguments to snakes, sleepwalking, and unexpected moments of connection, Shaun and Han find themselves navigating a new kind of partnership-one filled with both laughter and heart. But as they clash, bond, and challenge each other in ways neither imagined, could this mismatched pair stumble upon something neither thought they’d find?

This story is your ultimate guide to the dos and don’ts of an arranged marriage-equal parts comedy, chaos, and heartwarming discovery. A love story like no other, it will leave you laughing, sighing, and rooting for two people who just might be perfect for each other in their imperfection.
