Poor street kid Nawin, while working to pay off his father's debts, impulsively kisses wealthy heir Metha to escape loan sharks. To his surprise, Metha proposes a deal: pretend to be his boyfriend to escape an arranged marriage with heiress Lily. Despite his disdain for spoiled rich kids, Nawin agrees to help in exchange for clearing his father's debt. The two must convincingly play the role of a couple, even coming out as gay to Metha's family. As they navigate this charade in Metha's home and workplace, their initial animosity turns into mutual attraction. When Lily and Nawin's admirer Pete discover the ruse, their attempts to sabotage the relationship backfire, pushing Nawin and Metha to confess their true feelings. Ultimately, Nawin helps Metha reclaim his family's company from his stepmother, earning their respective father's blessings for the unexpected love. (Source: iQiyi) Edit Translation
