"Pretending to be Lovers?"

She wants to avoid an unwanted engagement, and he's a woman-hating confirmed bachelor.

Their encounter was supposed to be nothing more than a coincidence... or so it seemed.

(Are they *really* not dating despite all this?)

This is a story about how true love begins between an unassuming lady who wants to dedicate her life to her career and a handsome, aloof nobleman with a secret past, as they enter a secret 'fake lovers' contract and, in spending time together, become more like real lovers than actual ones.
