The premise is a double marriage. Orion, a once-heir ruined by his ex Kael, is forced to wed Caspian, the Thorne family CEO. The catch is that Caspian has been pretending to be comatose for ten years — a ruse meant to root out internal traitors — so the husband Orion brings home is a man who appears to be a vegetable.
The series runs 31 episodes in English, with the opening stretch playable on the official YourChannel player. That opening stretch covers the forced marriage, the care of the comatose CEO and the first hints of the hidden protection. The later reckoning — the scheming relatives, the rivals and the undoing of the transactional marriage — is left to the show.
The engine of the opening arc is the care and the secret protection. Under humiliation from Kael and his accomplice Sylas, Orion tends to the comatose Caspian and slowly finds warmth behind the cold mask. What Orion does not know is that Caspian is secretly acting as the mysterious tycoon Mr. L, silently protecting him, funding his venture and clearing the traps their foes set.

Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.
The show is built on a two-layer secret: the coma is fake, and the protector is the man in the bed. The audience knows both, and the pleasure is watching Orion slowly notice the warmth behind the mask.
The Mr. L device turns a one-sided caretaking setup into a mutual protection story. Caspian is not helpless, which keeps the romance from tipping into pity.
Best for viewers who like hidden-identity CEO romance with a contract-marriage hook: a ruined heir caring for a comatose husband who is secretly his powerful protector. The tone is melodramatic and revenge-tinged, with humiliation from an ex as the engine. If you want a light, sunshine romance, the opening arc is built on a fake coma and pressure.
