Official story outline
Elena thought Adrian Black would marry her. Then his spoiled childhood friend Lily walked into her workplace with a marriage certificate and called her the mistress. Adrian did not defend her. He chose Lily, humiliated Elena in public, and even stole her savings to make Lily happy. So Elena disappeared overseas. Only after she was gone did Adrian learn the marriage was fake, Lily had lied, and the dead brother he protected her for was never dead at all.
ShortDramaBuzz treats the listing synopsis as a dated source snapshot. When the official text is truncated, we stop at what is written rather than filling gaps from unofficial recaps.
Episodes and length
The official ShortMax record currently lists 25 episodes and about 91.4K public views (snapshot reviewed Nov 9, 2026). Overseas short-drama episodes are typically about one to three minutes each; that is an industry pattern, not a measured runtime for every episode of this title.
We do not republish a per-episode title list. Open the official listing for the live episode rail, unlock state, and any newly added chapters.

What the tags signal
- The official tags frame this as a modern, dark romance, polyamory story.
- Use the official synopsis to identify the central conflict before relying on popularity alone.
Tags can overlap, so they describe conflict style more than quality or ending.
Dark Romance themes around this title
Dark romance explores attraction in situations shaped by danger, obsession, unequal power, or moral compromise. The label signals heightened material, not a guarantee that every action is endorsed by the story.
Check the official premise and other tags before watching. Mafia, forced proximity, toxic romance, and revenge can produce very different experiences even when the visual tone is similar.
How to use this guide
Use the facts box for episode count, platform, and the official call to action. Use the outline for the premise the rights holder already published. Use genre links when you want adjacent titles with verified listings. Skip unofficial “ending explained” posts if you want to experience the series as released.
ShortDramaBuzz will not fabricate a cast list, episode-by-episode titles, or a completion status we cannot see in the structured listing. If the official app later expands the synopsis or changes monetization, those updates belong on ShortMax first; our source-reviewed timestamp shows when this snapshot was last checked.
