The Heir’s Forced Wife

At the age of 35, Stevan is a wealthy heir living in luxury and freedom—but trapped in one major problem: marriage. Without it, his parents have promised not to give him a single cent of inheritance. Feeling cornered by family pressure, Stevan leaves his boring and directionless life—until he meets Velia, an orphan girl whose life is filled with fear and a sense of worthlessness. In her weakness, Stevan sees an opportunity: to make her his wife, someone he considers easy to control just to fulfill his family's demands. Although initially refusing, Velia—who feels her life has no direction—eventually has no choice but to accept the marriage, after Stevan’s help sparks a faint sense of hope within her. She has no other options, even if there is no love. However, the marriage that began as a practical agreement slowly turns into a battlefield between unexpected growing feelings and obligation. Velia is trapped in a dilemma: can she find happiness behind this forced marriage? And will Stevan finally learn that love cannot be forced, even though he always believed he could control everything?
