The CEO's Temporary Intern Bride
She signed a one-year divorce agreement with a man she never met. A year later she walked into his company as an intern.
The ultimatum lands in the first minute: the heir to Hastings Group must marry before twenty-six or leave the company. Mr Hastings's answer is a pre-arranged bride and a cold contract. Sophia takes the deal — three million today, a divorce in a year — to cover her grandma's surgery. A year later she interns at Hastings Group, starstruck by the mysterious chairman, never knowing the stern man in the hallway is the husband she signed.

The ultimatum lands in the first minute: if the heir to Hastings Group is not married before he turns twenty-six, he walks out of the corporation. Mr Hastings's only answer is a flat "Enough nonsense" and a pre-arranged bride. Sophia arrives ready to shut the wedding down — then the hospital calls about her grandma, and the stranger across the table becomes the only way she can cover the surgery.
They meet at the license office and realize they are the two strangers who bumped into each other on a rainy street. Mr Hastings dismisses her as not worth three million — then slides the card across anyway: "Save my number. I'll contact you for divorce in a year." Neither expects to see the other again.
A year later Sophia shows up at Hastings Group as a wide-eyed intern. She gushes that if she can reach the secretary department she might get close to Mr Hastings — the same Mr Hastings who, on their anniversary, cancels a board meeting to watch his wife get ready. They pass in hallways, feel a strange familiarity, and never connect the dots. The little red marriage certificate, propping up a table leg at home, is still waiting.
Meet the characters
Mr Hastings
Dark-haired, controlled, used to being feared in a boardroom. He arranged the whole marriage as a cold transaction — then starts canceling his own meetings just to watch his wife get ready.
Sophia Carter
Bun-haired, earnest, broke. She signed the arranged marriage for her grandma's surgery, then interviews at Hastings Group dreaming of reaching the secretary department — with no idea the chairman is her husband.
Anna
Sharply dressed and well-connected, she has watched the chairman from across the floor for years and sees every new female intern as a threat. Her whole strategy is quiet sabotage.
Standout beats
Mr Hastings is handed the marry-before-twenty-six ultimatum. Sophia arrives ready to shut the wedding down — then the hospital calls about her grandma.
They realize they are the strangers who bumped into each other on a rainy street. He dismisses her as not worth three million — then slides the card across anyway.
An aide reminds him of a board meeting. "Cancel it. I need to see my wife get ready." He is falling for a woman he still calls a contract obligation.
Anna's followers try to humiliate the new girl in the lobby; Sophia stops to help an elderly visitor up instead — and the chairman watching from the elevator notices.

Editor's take
Our editors' notes on the opening arc — personal picks, not audience feedback.
"He orders a cold contract on sight and then personally cancels his own meetings to watch his wife get ready. The melt from 'not worth three million' to quietly handing her the gifts lands fast."
"It is a misunderstanding with a built-in fuse: the one-year divorce clause, the rainy-street accident they forgot, the table-leg marriage certificate. Two people who already signed papers circle each other as strangers."
Best for viewers who like contract-marriage office romance where the couple already married but don't recognize each other; if you want them to connect quickly, the opening arc stretches the missed-connection game. Compared with most CEO-intern shorts, the husband is soft only in private and the heroine saves herself — that balance is both its strength and, for viewers wanting faster recognition, its limit.
