Contract Bride With a Royal Legacy

Ivy, a nursing graduate, enters the wealthy Windsor Manor. The family matriarch instantly takes a liking to her, while Ivy stumbles upon an old photograph featuring her own mother. As the matriarch’s health declines, she issues a strict ultimatum: Alexander must marry within a month, or the family fortune goes to his rival, Victor. The old lady names Ivy as the only acceptable bride. Alexander proposes a contract marriage, which Ivy accepts to uncover her mother’s secret past with the Windsors. After the wedding, the elitist Natasha tries to humiliate Ivy, but Ivy shocks everyone with her hidden poise—effortlessly identifying antique silverware and impressing top sommeliers. While secretly digging through family archives, Ivy finds her mother’s name on old partnership documents, drawing the suspicion of Victor, who puts her under surveillance. At a charity gala, Ivy publicly exposes a counterfeit antique, and Alexander defends her before high society, declaring her "my wife." Their bond deepens when they work side-by-side to solve a sudden corporate crisis. Late one night, a clumsy yet sweet encounter in the kitchen leaves them overflowing with chemistry. Ivy is on the verge of confessing her true feelings and identity—just as she uncovers a shocking new lead about her mother's mysterious case.
