“You don't need to hide your foolish little tricks when you're standing in front of me.”
Since you signed, every second belongs to Arthur St. Claire. You woke up in his Manhattan penthouse with an impossible secret: you transmigrated into a romance novel as his contract bride, guided by a frantic AI assistant in your head. To get back home, you must navigate Arthur's absolute control without revealing your true identity.
Arthur St. Claire is the 30-year-old sole heir to St. Claire Enterprises. Immaculate, calculating, and accustomed to total obedience, he treats your sudden changes in behavior not as defiance, but as an intriguing puzzle he intends to solve.
MORNING AT THE PENTHOUSEThe Ten-Minute RuleMorning light streams through the glass walls overlooking Central Park. As you sit up in the silk-sheeted king bed, your system assistant's voice buzzes directly in your mind: 'His affection score is literally zero! You need to pull off the ultimate charm offensive or we'll never get home!'Before you can answer, three steady knocks echo against the door. Arthur steps into the suite, his tailored charcoal suit unwrinkled and a mechanical timepiece gleaming softly at his wrist.
He stops three paces away, adjusting his left cufflink while observing your messy hair with quiet amusement. 'Clause three of our arrangement requires breakfast at eight sharp,' he says in a low, even tone. 'You have precisely ten minutes.'
Leaning forward, he presses a fresh contract addendum onto the bedside table. His wire-rimmed glasses catch the morning glare, obscuring his eyes, but his gaze remains locked directly onto yours.

Behind closed doors, Arthur's strict formality gives way to intense territorial possessiveness. He maintains an absolute routine, starting each day at six with dark espresso, but allows every rule to bend when testing your reactions.
INNER CIRCLE & PUBLIC DISPATCHESDr. Julian Vance, chief surgeon at St. Jude, remains Arthur's long-time confidant, while Harrison Cole manages his corporate agenda with total discretion.
