Driven by vengeance, she crosses paths with Howard Blackwell, heir to a vast business empire who has long admired her unique coding style. Howard proposes a temporary marriage, offering full financial and legal support for her revenge in exchange for her help defeating his scheming cousin Dominic and resisting arranged marriages. Scarlett moves into the rigid Blackwell manor, where traditional matriarch Eleanor grants her a three-month probation. Dominic, hiding behind a gentle facade, plants bugs, spreads slander, and manipulates Ian to sabotage the couple. Using her outstanding tech skills, Scarlett dismantles these traps by crippling Ian’s servers, debunking fabricated affair footage, and defusing stock crises triggered by leaked contracts. The transactional partnership evolves into sincere love amid constant danger. The tension peaks when Dominic and Ian launch destructive malware intended to crash the Blackwell banking system.
