The family pressure opens at the top. A message is passed to Alexander that if he still refuses to marry and have a child, the family will transfer his power to his nephew Caleb. He is 35 and not married, and the house wants an heir. His order is blunt: find a girl with a simple background, draft a contract, a marriage agreement. Meanwhile Ivy walks into the lobby and tells the receptionist she is there to see Caleb, her boyfriend. She is asked to wait, and a drink is sent up to her.
Ivy is wrecked with guilt. She tells herself Caleb is so good to her and that she betrayed him. At the branch office the whole floor whispers about the CEO arriving, the terrifying man rumored to run with friends on both sides of the law. Caleb greets him as uncle, and Ivy stiffens: the man she had a one-night stand with is her boyfriend's uncle and the company CEO. She lies that she does not know him and bolts for the bathroom, while Alexander realizes, too late, that the girl he wants to marry is already dating his nephew.
The room spins. Ivy goes dizzy and is told, groggily, that her assistant should have explained and that they will sign the contract today. She comes to beside a man she does not recognize and slips out before any paper is signed. The next morning he asks what happened last night, admits he felt attracted to the woman from the night, and orders his people to track her down — he wants to marry her as soon as possible. His assistant then tells him the intended girl backed out at the last minute and never came. He stares: then who was that woman?
Series facts checked against the YourChannel listing. Notes cover the opening episodes only; nothing here reveals the ending.
Ivy, Alexander and Caleb carry the opening arc.
Warm brown-haired and caught off guard, Ivy is devoted to her boyfriend Caleb and believes he treats her better than her own family. She arrives at his house asking for him by name, then is steered to a room in a fog.
“Caleb. He's my boyfriend.”
Dark-haired, sharp-suited and quiet, Alexander is the group CEO the branch office whispers about. His family presses him to find a girl of simple background and draft a marriage agreement, and he is used to getting what he decides on.
“I like the girl from last night, but she left before signing the contract. Track her down. I want to marry her as soon as possible.”
Wavy light-brown-haired and charming, Caleb is the boyfriend Ivy came to see. He plays the caring partner when she shows up, asking after her and insisting she tell him next time something comes up.
“Ivy, are you okay? What happened yesterday? I waited for you in my room all night.”
Editorial picks from the opening arc — the lobby, the wrong room, and the uncle reveal. No ending spoilers.

At the branch office the floor whispers about the terrifying CEO. Caleb greets him as uncle, and Ivy realizes the man from that night is her boyfriend's uncle and the company CEO. She lies she does not know him and runs for the bathroom.
Captured from the opening episodes — not promotional art.
Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.
A heroine who is guilty before she is defiant. Ivy genuinely believes Caleb treats her better than her family, which makes her one-night mistake weigh on her instead of reading as a fling. Her panic at the office — lying that she does not know the CEO and bolting for the bathroom — lands hard.
A lead who is dangerous by reputation: the man the branch floor whispers about, rumored to run with friends on both sides of the law, with a family pushing a contract marriage. The gap between his icy corporate order and his shaken realization that the woman he wants dates his nephew is the hook.
She came to the wrong room in a fog, he thought the contract girl never showed, and now he is determined to track the stranger who slipped away. The more Ivy runs, the more he shows up exactly when she hits rock bottom.
Best for viewers who like forbidden billionaire romance with a guilt-ridden heroine; if you want the leads to confront the entanglement immediately, the first episodes run on avoidance and mistaken identity. Compared with most contract-marriage shorts, this one leans on the slow-burn pull of a woman running from a man who keeps appearing at her lowest — that tension is both its strength and its limit.
