The Contract Wife

Details

In the labyrinthine concrete jungle of modern-day New York City, Lina Hart, a fiercely independent and sharp-witted single mother, navigates the harsh realities of life from her gritty Brooklyn walkup. Desperate to protect her daughter, she's forced into a one-year marriage contract with a cold-hearted CEO who needs a wife to secure his vast inheritance. Lina, however, possesses an uncanny ability to read people's true emotions through their micro-expressions, making her impossible to deceive. While she expertly hides her own vulnerability behind a sarcastic wit, her unique cheat becomes a formidable weapon in understanding the man who claims to be emotionless. What begins as a calculated business deal, designed to be devoid of genuine feeling, slowly unravels as forbidden emotions ignite between two people who swore they would never fall in love again. Amidst the glittering penthouses and the high-stakes corporate world, Lina must decide if she can risk her heart, and her daughter's future, on a love born from a contract.
