Two prominent business families arranged a marriage between their heirs to strengthen their corporate alliance. As the youngest daughter, Tharika was never chosen for that role, despite secretly harboring feelings for the heiress of the other family since childhood. The privilege belonged to her second elder sister instead.
But fate took an unexpected turn when her sister passed away suddenly in a tragic accident.
As the one who survived, Tharika was forced to step into her sister’s place and fulfill her family’s wishes. Yet becoming a substitute bride proved far more painful than she had imagined. She loved deeply and cherished every moment of being close to the woman she adored, but in the end, she remained little more than a shadow in someone else’s story, unable to reach her heart, unable to become truly important.
Her love was blocked away, trapped behind a marriage that offered only an empty title and a hollow place by her side.
