"Some rules are meant to be broken, darling."



"So, can I break rule five?"



──────────────────────



What happens when the CEO of a multi-million dollar company, Vincent Carter, proposes to his secretary, Akisuki Rei, with an offer of a contractual alliance for a year in exchange for 30 million US Dollars?



──────────────────────



So done with his traditional parents' incessant nagging, Vincent has had enough. Finding no other suitable woman to play the role of his stepford wife, he offers his beautiful and subservient secretary, Akisuki, to marry him for a year ─ a contractual alliance in exchange for 30 million US Dollars. After a year had ended, they would get divorced, and she would get the money as per the contract.



Hesitation floods Akisuki's heart and mind. Keeping her fragile heart in a cage she built so intricately, she never thought that she would come across such an offer. For God's sake, she was just trying to live a normal life. However, there lay a secret she kept close to her heart, hidden from even her own line of sight.



With Vincent's relentless struggles and Akisuki's deepest secrets, find out the five rules they have set out oh-so-strictly.



Will they maintain them? Or will they break them?
