In 2077, global order has crumbled. Technology reigns supreme, and moral decay defines everyday life. In this cyberpunk world, Aveline could have stayed sheltered from the chaos as part of the middle class. Yet when her father goes bankrupt and drowns in debt, she is forced to flee alone into the lawless Dusk District to survive.
She takes a job at a casino, only to suffer repeated abuse from her boss. At a critical moment, Jax, the notorious yet rough‑edged and righteous gang leader of the Dusk District, steps in to rescue her.
Shortly afterward, Jax proposes a fake‑marriage arrangement with Aveline, a ploy to resolve issues surrounding his younger sister’s school enrollment. Desperate to secure her place in the Dusk District, Aveline agrees to this flash contractual marriage. Thus begins their sham union built on mutual convenience.
Sharing a home after their arrangement, they grow past stiff formality and deliberate distance. Side by side, they weather neighborhood gossip, harassment from rival factions, and pressure from debt collectors. Wild‑tempered yet fiercely protective, Jax repeatedly shields Aveline from harm. Gentle and resilient, Aveline cares devotedly for Jax’s sister, softening the hard edges forged by his life in the underworld. Little by little, the three of them build a small, warm household.
Through riots, fraudulent scams, and brutal crackdowns by opposing forces, they break free from the bounds of their transactional deal, dropping pretense to fall genuinely in love. In the end, they stand united to dismantle all conspiracies, safeguard their little family and core beliefs, transforming a pragmatic contract into a lifelong devotion.
