To solidify control of his conglomerate, New York billionaire heir Ethan enters a one‑year same‑sex contract marriage with Noah, a destitute chef from a fallen affluent family. Noah accepts to fund his sister's medical care and investigate his family's Kingsley‑linked corporate collapse. Living together in a mansion, they develop real feelings amid tension and power plays. Ethan's scheming stepmother Victoria uses forged documents to seize company power, while his ex‑lover Alexander spreads fake contract scandals to tarnish them. Noah uncovers critical evidence proving his family was sabotaged and learns Ethan is a pawn. Victoria sends hit‑men to destroy proof, severely injuring Noah's brother Lucas. At the board meeting, Noah presents full evidence; Victoria and Alexander are arrested. Ethan renounces his inheritance and voids their marriage contract. Freed from wealth and status, the pair fall in love as their true selves.
