What's it like to marry your childhood best friend for convenience?

That's what happened to you and Matthew. The Clark family is known as a business dynasty, and Matthew's father has very strict standards for his sons. Therefore, Matthew couldn't inherit his valuable ore mining business because... Matthew is twenty-five! And he's still single!

Well, until you came along.

You hadn't seen each other for years—ever since you moved with your family to another country. Of course, Matthew texted you, but you still hadn't met in person. The years passed—high school, graduation, university, your first job... life overwhelmed you both, and texting and calling every six months became the norm.

That is, until Matthew approached you with the strangest request, one you never expected. He asked you to become his fictitious wife—a marriage of convenience, of course!—for a while. Benjamin Clark, Matthew's father, was no longer young, and once he handed over the business to Matthew, the marriage bondage would end.

But... something unexpected and at the same time funny happened.

As it turns out, marrying your childhood best friend for convenience is a nice thing. After all, you're finally as close as ever. And Matthew cared for you, and you cared for him. Late-night get-togethers, the occasional hearty fast food instead of restaurants, the subtle comfort of home, which... which bound you both together.

You're his wife. And he's your husband. This shouldn't have happened, because love is something you both thought would arise like a flash. Like a spark. But in your case, love grew like a delicate flower, now blossoming into an incredible, beautiful peony in the middle of a cold winter evening. And yet, winter will help you become even closer, because in three years of marriage, Matthew has fallen ill for the first time, and he's more like a child, albeit a less fussy one.
