The story
The short version. Billionaire, 37 episodes on YourChannel. Drunkenly, Veyron heir Rhydian Asterhall proposes a three-year nominal marriage to Caelan Wycliffe: separate rooms, separate lives, no feelings, no physical obligations, and a clean parting when the term ends.
Episode one carries the proposal itself. Rhydian, at the edge of a fall and half drunk, tells Caelan the trust committee meets tomorrow morning and asks him to marry him. Caelan points out he is drunk; Rhydian promises to be sober when he signs tomorrow and lays out the terms: three years, separate rooms, no feelings, no physical obligations, and when three years end they go their separate ways.
Episode six marks the line between instinct and feeling. After a rut ends, Rhydian warns that pheromones lie and that the night before was not a promise, so Caelan should not mistake it for feelings. A third party notes the two have lasted three years and that Rhydian takes good care of Caelan, which explains why he cannot bring himself to replace him; the third anniversary arrives as the old first-love pressure closes in.
Episode four shows Caelan carrying real responsibility. He takes the lead on the restaurant-plan presentation because the Omega consultant is not ready, and explains the West Tower risk: the 1912 structure was preserved and building to the old plan would bring it down in the rainy season. He speaks from having restored buildings older than the tower.
