On the surface, Vivian appears to be a perfectly happy socialite wife. But after ten years of marriage, only she knows the truth: her relationship with her husband Thaddeus is long dead. Thaddeus secretly keeps a male lover, while Vivian, like a withered rose, is left alone in an empty marriage. Adding to her misery, her mother-in-law constantly humiliates and blames her for failing to conceive. Then Cassian, a repairman, enters her life. Handsome, dangerously attractive, and unapologetically confident, Cassian instantly awakens desires Vivian has buried for years. His words—“Madam, I can help you”—linger far longer than they should. Yet Vivian restrains herself, bound by her role as a wife. Cassian, however, keeps reappearing—as a plumber, a handyman, a gardener—his presence increasingly deliberate, his temptation impossible to ignore. Vivian finds herself losing control. What she never expects is the truth: every identity Cassian shows her is a lie. He is in fact the hidden mastermind behind Blackwell Group, a multinational heavy industry and infrastructure empire, infiltrating her world to uncover Thaddeus’s business schemes. What Cassian never expects is this—he falls for Vivian for real.
