Engaged to My Office Enemy — Ex-rivals strike a fake engagement deal to rescue a campaign and an inheritance.

Simultaneously, Ethan Blake must repair his scandal-damaged reputation to satisfy his father Richard and secure the Blake conglomerate CEO role.

They now agree to a mutually beneficial fake engagement, navigating public events, shared living quarters, family pressure, and media scrutiny. As buried truths about the past sabotage emerge and Daniel and Olivia scheme against them, the transactional arrangement grows increasingly unstable.
