Marriage Starts with an Interview

Unemployed and desperate to turn her life around, Oh Gaeun goes to a job interview. But then… she realizes she sat in the wrong seat? “Ms. Yoon Hyejin, isn’t it?” “I’m Oh Gaeun…?” It wasn’t a company interview—it was a bride interview… And the man across from her is Joo Seokjin, the CEO of Jusin Retail. A man who’s literally “hiring” a wife. “What happened today—this interview to find my wife—must remain a secret.” She agrees to keep it secret and walks away… Only to run into him again at a travel destination she paid for with her entire savings? And then a headline drops: [CEO Joo Seokjin to Marry Suddenly in September] “How about you become my bride, Ms. Oh Gaeun?” “Fine. But don’t short me on my salary and allowances.” And so begins a contract marriage. Job title: Fake wife. Duties: Daughter-in-law of a chaebol family. Extra duties: Survive the in-law hellscape. She was told all she had to do was “act” like the troublesome third daughter-in-law… So why does that man’s gaze keep feeling so real? A contract marriage that started with sitting in the wrong interview. It began as a fake relationship—but can their feelings stay fake, too?
