TC 16

Synopsis

Yoon Sorim is an orphan who works as the youngest cook in a restaurant, doing all the menial tasks.
She lives quietly, almost like a shadow—until Song Taeha, the fourth-generation heir of a chaebol family, suddenly appears before her with an unexpected proposal.

“Let me be blunt. Would you be willing to pretend to be my wife for two years?”

He promises an overwhelming reward if she can endure acting as his wife for just two years.

For Sorim, who has lived a life with very few choices, Song Taeha seems like a chance to escape the suffocating reality she’s always known.
But as their strictly contractual relationship deepens, Taeha begins to show an intense possessiveness, gradually shaking Sorim’s entire life to its core…

“Why me? There must be plenty of women who fit your standards.”
“I told you,” he murmurs near her ear, “because you’re interesting.”

His low whisper continues.

“You have nowhere to return to, no one to rely on. Only then can you truly belong by my side.”

Watching Taeha reveal the raw instincts of a predator, Sorim realizes one thing with certainty:
the only person who can truly save her is none other than Yoon Sorim herself.
