Contract Daddy for the Little One

The premise is a contract marriage built on a medical emergency. Lily is a single mother out of options, and the cold-hearted CEO she approaches is the one person with the resources to move her son's surgery forward. The official listing refers to the show under the working title "Daddy for the Little One"; on the official YourChannel player the title is "Contract Daddy for the Little One". The agreement they sign is transactional on paper and anything but in practice, because the child at the center of it is not a stranger to him.

The series runs 40 episodes in English, with the opening stretch of the story playable on the official YourChannel player. That opening stretch covers the crisis, the offer, the signing and the first weeks of the arrangement — the point at which the father still does not know. The longer arc of recognition, reconciliation and the boy's recovery is left for the show itself. This page uses only the opening premise and does not describe later turns.

The dramatic engine is the gap between what Lily knows and what the CEO does not. She is carrying the memory of the child he left behind five years ago; he is walking into a marriage of convenience with a woman he sees as a stranger and a sick little boy he assumes is unrelated. The opening arc plays that asymmetry for tension rather than for comedy: the hospital visits, the shared address, the contract's small print, and the moments in which the boy's resemblance becomes harder to ignore.

Lily, The CEO and The Little One carry the opening arc.

Lily

The desperate single mother

A single mother out of options who approaches a cold-hearted CEO to fund her sick son's surgery and agrees to a contract marriage in return. She is the one adult in the room who knows the boy is the child he left five years ago, and the series' opening tension rides on how long she can keep that quiet.

The CEO

The cold-hearted benefactor

The powerful businessman who agrees to underwrite the boy's surgery on the condition of a contract marriage. In the official listing he is described only as a cold-hearted CEO; he is the father who walked away five years ago and has not yet been told. The series leaves his name for the show itself.

The Little One

The sick son

Lily's young son, whose illness is the reason the contract exists. He is also the child the CEO left behind five years ago — the fact that drives the long arc of the series and the reason the marriage of convenience keeps pulling the two adults back into the same room.
