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..”
The almost perfect son-in-law
After the call with Taewoo, Mingwa sat there for a few minutes, her phone still in her hand, feeling the weight of the situation settle in. She hadn't wanted to involve him, especially with how things had spiraled between them, but her mother's demand left her no choice.
She threw her phone onto the couch, her mind spinning as she thought about the family dinner. Her relationship with her mother had always been strained, distant. Han Jisoo had never approved of her career as an actress, seeing it as an unworthy path. Yet now, with the pressure of keeping up appearances, Jisoo was quick to leverage Mingwa's relationship with Taewoo—a powerful name that her mother likely saw as a saving grace to their family's reputation.
Taewoo.
The very name sent a jolt through her. He wasn't the kind of man you asked favors from lightly, and she knew agreeing to bring him meant she'd owe him. And he wouldn't forget.
