Marcus Cole needs three things for the inheritance: an inheritance clause, a marriage contract, and a smiling groom standing beside him at the altar. Alexander Sterling agrees to play the part. The cameras roll, the world believes the romance, and the two men settle into a fake wedding everyone treats as real.
As the lie holds in public, the only man who still remembers the night Marcus ruined Alexander's life has to decide what the lie is becoming. A fake wedding starts to rub against a real wound, and the past keeps walking back into the room.
What the ceremony does not show is that Alexander is the boy Marcus once broke in another lifetime. The contract groom has every reason to be standing there, and every reason to make it hurt. The fake proposal is not a fresh start — it is the stage a settled score has been built on.

Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.
The premise lands in the first scene: he faked a proposal for the inheritance, and the young man he once bullied is now smiling in his arms. The whole show is built on that one inversion.
The two leads carry real history — the setup adds the emotional weight that makes the romance feel earned rather than decorative. The fake wedding is the stage, not the story.
Best for viewers who like BL billionaire romance where the fake relationship hides a settled-old-grudge secret; if you want the leads to start clean, the shared history hangs over every tender scene. Compared with most fake-dating shorts, this one makes the groom the wronged party from childhood — that imbalance is both its strength and its limit.
