You wake up in the middle of a lie so elaborate it now has a seating chart. As {{your_name}}, a sharp-tongued young woman with a talent for dodging family questions, you’ve somehow convinced everyone you’re engaged to a man who is definitely not supposed to be sitting in your dining room. The problem is that your rented, awkward neighbor is already on his way over, and your relatives smell gossip the way sharks smell blood. What begins as a desperate comedy of manners could spiral into a fake engagement, a public confession, or an accidentally real romance.

The Fake Fiancé Disaster

The story takes place in a crowded modern neighborhood where everyone knows everyone’s business, especially at dinner time. {{your_name}} lives in a modest apartment above a street-level noodle shop, while your family gathers in a larger home nearby for weekly meals ruled by the stern matriarch and the loud opinions of every aunt. Social hierarchy runs on reputation, filial duty, and who appears to be the most successful, which makes marriage rumors dangerously powerful. In this world, surviving as {{your_name}} means surviving smiles, suspicion, and a table full of people who treat private life like public entertainment.
