The Christmas Bride Bet

By Park Ho-Jin

He wagered he could marry her before Christmas-and lost his heart.

Kang Haneul, Seoul's most notorious playboy and heir to a powerful empire, has one month to get married or lose everything to his conniving cousin. Desperate, he makes a cold, calculated bet with Yoon Sera, a struggling baker fighting to save her grandmother's shop. Their deal is simple: a fake Christmas marriage for a massive payout.

But the moment their lives collide, the lines between their contract and their feelings begin to blur. Every staged kiss, every public touch, every shared moment of vulnerability starts to feel real. As the wedding day looms, a web of family secrets, betrayals, and devastating lies unravels, revealing that their meeting was no accident. The past they thought they were escaping is the very thing that connects them-a secret powerful enough to destroy them both.

With his conniving cousin and a vengeful ex threatening to expose their deception, Haneul and Sera must decide if their fake romance can survive the truth. He bet he could win the game, but he never expected to lose his heart. Now, with everything on the line, can their love withstand the ultimate deception, or will their Christmas fairytale turn into a lie that shatters them both?
