needed. A fragile bond forged in the fires of adversity, and a 
love that will rise from the ashes."

Jia and Daniel are arranged to be married, but unbeknownst to each other, they both 
vehemently oppose the union. Jia plans to persuade Daniel to break off the engagement, 
while Daniel schemes to bully Jia into ending it herself.
As Jia returns to her home country for the wedding, Daniel initiates his plan, unaware of Jia’s 
true intentions. Jia, feeling betrayed and enraged, challenges Daniel to prove his worth, 
sparking a series of comedic competitions and action-packed events.
As they engage in their battles of wits and strength, Jia and Daniel begin to open up to each 
other, revealing their true selves. The adorable kitten Pearl and Daniel’s baby brother Lucas 
become unlikely matchmakers, bringing the couple closer together.
Will Jia and Daniel find a way to break free from their arranged marriage, or will they 
discover that their feelings for each other are stronger than their initial opposition.

Pearl in the Dead Sea

The grand estate’s party buzzed behind her, but Jia’s footsteps echoed louder in the empty marble corridor. She didn’t look back as she slipped through the side exit, the night air cool against her skin. 


A breath caught behind her. “Miss Jia!” 


Daniel Han stood there, the sharp lines of his tailored suit barely containing the tension in his stance. His eyes searched hers—equal parts frustration and something new, something dangerous. 


She crossed her arms, unyielding. “Talk? About what, Mr Han? How you try to trap me in a game I never agreed to?” 


He took a step closer, but she held firm. 


“I didn’t come to play along,” she said coldly. “Let me be honest with you, I came here to break off the engagement. I was actually going to make that clear tonight. But thanks to what you did—” 


“—Now I have a score to settle.” 


She smiled then—not warmth, but steel.
