Two wounded people enter an arranged marriage expecting duty instead of warmth. Time spent side by side erodes their defenses and reveals a tenderness neither anticipated. As the bond strengthens, outside pressure intervenes. Each person must decide whether to retreat into familiar fear or accept a future built on trust.
