Yoon Mina has always been a survivor. Working multiple part-time jobs and scraping by, she thought things couldn’t get worse—until she discovers her husband has been cheating on her with a younger, wealthier woman.
> “I’m struggling to pay your debt, and this is what I get?!”
To make matters worse, his family takes his side. Heartbroken and betrayed, Mina divorces him on the spot.
That same day, fate takes a sharp turn when Mina saves a little girl from an oncoming car. The child is Ari Kang, daughter of Kang Joon—a brilliant, socially awkward CEO who’s a bundle of nerves in a boardroom and an absolute softie when it comes to his daughter.
Joon is in the middle of a nasty custody battle with a powerful ex. In a moment of desperation and gratitude, he proposes something absurd: a temporary marriage with Mina to present the image of a stable family and secure custody of Ari.
It’s meant to be a formality. No emotions, no attachments.
But nothing goes according to plan.
Ari clings to Mina, claiming she smells like “sunshine and marshmallows.”
Joon keeps accidentally buying her strange but thoughtful gifts, and schedules “date nights” under the excuse of “family bonding.”
Madam Kang, the elegant matriarch, softens when Mina soothes her migraine with a simple home remedy.
Grandfather Kang, feared by all, insists Mina attend family dinners after tasting her cooking.
And Soojin, Joon’s lively sister, starts calling Mina unni and seeks her for relationship advice.
'What's going on?'
As the line between arrangement and affection blurs, secrets from Mina’s past begin to come to life.
In a household where she was only supposed to play pretend, Mina finds herself surrounded by love, laughter, and the one thing she never had—family.
