Roses, sweet affection and kisses… They’re all forbidden in this paper marriage!

Teddy wasn’t too heartbroken after her cruel father died. But he’s left her one last command. If she doesn’t marry multimillionaire Alejandro Valquez within a month, she’ll be left homeless and penniless. Hoping that Alejandro will turn her down, she purposefully dresses in shabby clothes when she meets him. There’s no way that the coldhearted playboy will make her his bride! However, Alejandro agrees to the wedding and attempts to seduce her in order to get his hands on her family's land. So, in order to save the nanny and gardener who raised her like their own family, Teddy agrees to a six-month-long paper marriage!
