This Marriage is a Game of Go

Jin Min-jee, a prodigy of the ancient game of Go, is prickly, proud, and in desperate need of funds to save her ailing grandfather’s school. When the gentle, beleaguered heir to the Cheonma Group, Ahn Joon-ho, offers her an absurdly lucrative contract to be his wife for one year, she scoffs but accepts. The terms are simple: attend family functions, smile prettily, and act as a temporary shield against his scheming relatives. Min-jee, armed with her strategic mind, treats it as the ultimate game, deploying her mastery of traditional arts to neutralize her new in-laws and secure her position, believing it’s all just a high-stakes performance. But as she systematically checkmates Joon-ho’s ambitious cousins and earns the respect of the formidable family matriarch, she realizes two terrifying things. First, her kind, powerless husband might be the only person who truly understands her. Second, the 'contract' she signed might not have an exit clause. Was this ever just a game?
