Contract Marriage: Fake Dating My Showbiz Wife
**Fake dating?…what could possibly go wrong** Kim Mingwa is a struggling D-list artist whose career is hanging by a thread. Desperate to keep her place in the spotlight, she accidentally finds herself entangled with the most notorious playboy in the industry—the CEO of the number one entertainment company in the country. Known for his bad reputation and inflated ego, the CEO is the last person she wants to be associated with, but when a scandal between them explodes in the media, they’re forced to fake a relationship to salvage both their careers. --- Kim Mingwa stared in horror at the headline: *Scandal Erupts Between D-List Actress and Industry’s Bad Boy CEO!* “This isn’t happening,” she whispered, her voice shaking. Beside her, the CEO only smirked, completely unfazed. “Welcome to showbiz, Miss Kim.” Mingwa glared at him. “You think this is funny? My career is on the line!” “It’s simple,” he replied, his tone cold. “Play along, or get left behind.” She clenched her fists, knowing she was trapped. “Fine,” she muttered. “But don’t think you can easily take advantage of me.” His smirk widened. “I wouldn’t dream of it..”
I’m not a patient man
Mingwa sighed as she entered her apartment, feeling the familiar comfort of her own space. The exchange with Seo Harin lingered in her mind, but she brushed it off. Harin's jabs were nothing new, and Mingwa had learned long ago how to handle people like her. She wasn't about to let someone like Harin get under her skin.
She slipped out of her shoes, tossing her bag onto the couch before heading to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. The silence of the apartment was a stark contrast to the tension-filled day she'd had. But despite everything, she felt a sense of triumph.
The shoot had gone well, her fans were defending her, and Taewoo had shut down the online trolls with just one post.
She smiled to herself, sipping the water as she leaned against the counter. Sure, the industry was filled with people like Seo Harin, but Mingwa had her own support system—her fans, Jihoon, Taewoo, and soon, her dad. She was going to be just fine.
