In a world bound by duty and loyalty, two high-ranking officers lead the prestigious crime investigation department. Both are fearless, intelligent, and unwavering in their pursuit of justice. However, their personal lives take an unexpected turn when the royal family proposes a marriage alliance—one they cannot refuse.

On the other side are the female leads—strong-willed and determined women, each on a mission. They are substitute brides, stepping into a marriage arranged for them, not out of love but out of necessity. Each bride has her reasons: one seeks to protect her family, the other aims to uncover secrets that only marriage to the officer can unlock. Yet, both enter this marriage with a shared secret—they are childhood sweethearts with the very men they are set to marry.

The connection between the couples runs deep, formed long ago in the innocence of youth. Back then, the female leads had offered a helping hand to their now-steadfast partners, a bond that grew but remained unspoken. Life had separated them, yet fate, through the disguise of an arranged marriage, has brought them back together.

As they embark on this journey, the couples begin to realize the depth of their feelings for each other. What started as a marriage bound by obligation slowly transforms into something real, as they navigate the complexities of their past, the burdens of their duties, and the new challenges ahead.

Their path is not without its trials. Together, they face numerous hurdles, from external threats to internal battles, testing the strength of their newfound love. But with each challenge, their bond deepens, proving that their love, forged in the fires of childhood and rekindled through a disguise marriage, is powerful enough to withstand anything life throws at them.

Through sacrifice, courage, and unwavering devotion, these couples not only realize their love for each other but emerge as true partners—partners in love and in life, ready to face the world hand in hand.
