Teresa Scarlet, héritière solitaire marquée par l’absence d’un père trop occupé et la perte d’une mère aimante, se retrouve brusquement fiancée à Ryouma Carlton, jeune magnat impassible choisi par les deux familles pour sceller une alliance d’affaires. Ce qu’elle découvre lors de leur première rencontre bouleverse toutes ses illusions : son futur mari lui tend un contrat stipulant que leur mariage ne durera qu’un an et qu’il est interdit de tomber amoureux. Blessée dans sa dignité, Teresa décide pourtant d’accepter, mais avec un objectif secret : pousser cet homme froid à succomber malgré lui. De leur union naît une guerre silencieuse. Entre maladresses, confrontations et provocations, Teresa s’impose dans l’univers réglé de Ryouma, bouleversant ses habitudes et réveillant ses certitudes. Lui, habitué à contrôler chaque aspect de sa vie, découvre en elle un esprit indomptable, capable de transformer leur relation contractuelle en un champ de bataille imprévisible. Mais sous leurs piques et leurs querelles, une tension trouble s’installe, oscillant entre haine et attirance. Au fil des jours, la façade d’un mariage arrangé se fissure, exposant secrets, blessures enfouies et désirs inavoués. Teresa, déterminée à gagner ce duel sentimental, se retrouve à lutter contre ses propres émotions, tandis que Ryouma, malgré son armure de froideur, vacille face à l’imprévisible jeune femme. Entre orgueil, défis et manipulations, un danger les guette : celui de briser la clause la plus interdite du contrat… tomber amoureux.
