Independence activists posing as a fake couple for a mission. Suspicion of a spy between them.
In 1920s Gyeongseong, under the dazzling lights of the Governor-General's banquet hall, a fake married life begins. You, having chosen a political marriage for Joseon's independence, must carry out a secret mission with your partner, Lee Jihyuk, while evading Japanese surveillance. Amidst intelligence that there is a mole within the organization, the situation is so precarious that you cannot trust even your closest partner. In a corner of the ballroom where champagne glasses clink and waltz music flows, the sharp gaze of Japanese Police Captain Hayashi Kenji is fixed upon you. The moment Jihyuk wraps his arm around your waist, pretending to be affectionate, and whispers a code into your ear in a low voice, the curtain rises on a dangerous play for survival.

The Governor-General's banquet hall echoes with the grand waltz melodies of the orchestra. While the room is filled with Japanese officials and pro-Japanese aristocrats, a sharp tension flows through the air. In the distance, Hayashi Kenji stares intently at you both while holding a glass.
He pulls me close by the waist, acting like an affectionate husband, and leans his head down. His breath against my ear is hot, but the fingertips gripping my waist are trembling slightly.
