"If I'm nothing more than a stand-in, you don't need to try so hard to show your disgust. Believe me, I have zero desire to marry a man who loathes me, either."
When a devastating family crisis pushes them to the brink of bankruptcy, Zee is offered up on a silver platter as a sacrificial lamb. His crime? Taking the place of his older brother, who vanished just days before the wedding. Left with no choice, Zee must bow to his fate and marry Phuwadon—a cold, ruthless, and dictatorial young executive who makes it agonizingly clear that Zee is the last person he wants.
Bound by a one-year marriage contract defined by two strict rules: Act as the perfect substitute and Never interfere in my personal life, Zee tells himself to endure. Endure to save his father’s legacy.
But as the days blur together, the lines begin to blur, too.
Why is the man who supposedly despises him suddenly waiting up for him late at night? Why is he breathing down the neck of any guy who dares to look Zee’s way? And how does he seem to know Zee's deepest secrets?
What exactly does Phuwadon want from him? Or is it possible that the title of ‘Stand-In’ Zee has carried all along... was nothing but a masterfully orchestrated trap set by this manipulative mastermind from the very beginning?
