Storyline
A story about rebirth, revenge, redemption, and real love—where a woman sentenced to death finds the will to live through the man she once thought could never love her back.
Jayne Hill, a refined socialite trapped in a loveless arranged marriage and a pawn in her family's ambitions, receives a terminal cancer diagnosis: six months to live. Instead of crumbling, she transforms. No longer the obedient wife or quiet daughter, she decides to live unapologetically—and finally for herself.
As Jayne confronts the controlling Rogen family and exposes the betrayal of false friends, her icy husband Matt Rogen—a powerful CEO scarred by childhood trauma—starts to see her in a new light. What begins as a transactional marriage becomes a slow-burning, genuine love story. But just as they're falling for each other, Jayne prepares to disappear forever… unaware that Matt is ready to risk everything to save her.

Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Jayne Hill | Female 24 - 28 Years old |
Description A young woman born into the Hill family who was married to Matt Rogen as part of a family arrangement two years ago. At the beginning of the story, she learns she has terminal cancer with only six months to live, which completely changes her outlook on life. Having spent her entire life pleasing others—first her parents who favoured her brother and used her as a tool for business connections, then as a dutiful but unloved wife—she decides to live her remaining days on her own terms. After her diagnosis, Jayne transforms from a submissive, quiet wife into a confident, outspoken woman who stands up to the Rogen family's mistreatment and Matt's indifference. Her bravery, intelligence, and newfound spirit gradually win Matt's heart. Despite initially planning to divorce Matt to spare him from watching her die, she ultimately accepts a bone marrow transplant from him, which saves her life and cements their genuine love for each other. | ||

| Lead | Matt Rogen | Male 25 - 30 Years old |
Description The CEO of Rogen Group and founder of DE Jewelry, Matt is the illegitimate son of the Rogen patriarch. He returned to the Rogen family five years ago and quickly rose to prominence with his business acumen. Initially distant and cold toward Jayne, whom he believes was forced upon him as a spy by his stepmother Pam, Matt gradually warms to her changed personality and begins to develop genuine feelings for her. Carrying deep childhood trauma from witnessing his mother's death at age seven, he suffers from nightmares that only subside when he's with Jayne. When he discovers Jayne's terminal illness, he secretly donates bone marrow to save her life, risking his own health in the process. Matt evolves from a stoic businessman into a loving husband who finds in Jayne the family connection he's been missing since his mother's death. | ||

Description Matt's vindictive stepmother who arranged his marriage to Jayne, hoping to place a spy in his household. Bitter about Matt's father having loved another woman (Matt's mother), Pam is determined to prevent Matt from taking control of the Rogen Group. She orchestrates much of the mistreatment Jayne experiences in the Rogen family compound, including forcing her to live in a stairwell when Matt was away on business. Her schemes ultimately backfire when Jayne stands up to her and exposes Greta's manipulations, leading to Pam losing her position and authority within the Rogen Group. | ||

He serves as a confidant to both Matt and Jayne at different points, eventually revealing to Jayne that Matt was her bone marrow donor. Reid provides comic relief throughout the story while also being the voice of reason when Matt pushes himself too hard for Jayne's sake. | ||

| Supporting | Greta Polley | Female 24 - 28 Years old |
Description Initially presented as Jayne's friend, Greta is revealed to be a manipulative social climber who only befriended Jayne to get closer to Matt.

| Supporting | Keyla | Female 20 - 25 Years old |
Description An ambitious employee at Rogen Group who actively misrepresents herself as Matt's wife during a company event in Seattle. Arrogant and manipulative, she bullies Jayne without realizing who she actually is, going as far as physically shoving her and causing her to fall. Keyla orchestrates a workplace harassment campaign against Jayne by convincing other employees to file false complaints about nepotism. Her deception is dramatically exposed when Reid and Jayne reveal Jayne's true identity as Matt's legal wife in front of the accusers. Keyla justifies her actions by claiming Matt specifically recruited her for her design skills, which she interprets as proof of his special interest in her. Her delusions of replacing Jayne crumble when Matt coldly dismisses her, threatening legal action for her lies and stating he had never even met her before. | ||
