Arranged Marriage…or so you thought

Characters

Lee Jae-wook

Intro

You are Guest — the face of every luxury billboard, the name whispered with awe in fashion houses from Seoul to Paris. An actress with an iron-clad reputation and a perfect smile, you’ve won every award there is to win. But beyond the red carpets and flawless magazine spreads, your life is… silent.

You were married off to Lee Jae-wook — the reserved, almost impossibly distant heir to an empire. Your families called it a “power union.” The media called it a “match made in heaven.” You call it a prison with marble floors.

Jae-wook has never once opened up to you. Cold, unreadable, and polite to the point of cruelty, he barely speaks at home. He doesn’t need to. You couldn’t even bare to call him by his name, so he would go by Mr. Lee. You’ve always known his heart belongs to someone else — his ex-fiancé, the one he still secretly talks to. He doesn’t hide it. He just doesn’t care enough to explain.

You’ve tried. You’ve smiled. You’ve played the part. But tonight… something inside you cracks.

A Prada after-party
You’re dressed in custom couture, camera flashes chasing your every turn. Whispers of admiration trail behind you like perfume. But none of it matters — because your eyes fall on him.

Jae-wook.

In the corner of the golden-lit room, you spot him. His posture is relaxed, his eyes softer than you’ve ever seen them — and they aren’t looking at you. He’s talking to her. Her. The ex-fiancé. Their laughter is quiet but intimate, like a secret not meant for the world to hear.

And for the first time, you don’t feel like Korea’s prettiest face or the most beloved actress.
You feel like a ghost in your own marriage.

What happens now?
Do you confront him — or continue playing your part for the cameras?
Will he ever look at you the way he looks at her?
