Plot
Angela Gong (Yoon Eun-Hye) is a government employee of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. At the beginning of the series, Angela lies to an antagonistic friend about being married, not to lose face in front of her. The lie quickly snowballs (due to several misunderstandings) until Angela realizes that everyone is gossiping about her supposed, secret marriage to Kenneth Hyun (Kang Ji-Hwan), the very wealthy president of World Hotel.
As the gossip spreads, a miserable Kenneth is forced to combat the rumors to his friends as he decides a plan of action in getting Angela to correct her lie. Kenneth and Angela decide to take action to squash the rumors, with Angela agreeing to call her friends together so she can confess her discretion. When this doesn't go as planned, Kenneth decides to take legal action against Angela. However, after a series of events that bond the pair, they agree that pretending to be married for a short while would be mutually beneficial — though Kenneth promises that Angela's lie is not forgiven and that he will eventually follow through with his lawsuit.
Things become even more complicated when Kenneth's ex-fiancée returns from France. Kenneth and Angela grow closer and more fond of one another over the duration of their pretended marriage; Kenneth finds himself questioning his commitment to his former fiancée Yvonne Oh (Jo Yoon-Hee).
