The Full-Time Wife Escapist
After a run of practical setbacks, a young woman and an older man enter a marriage arrangement for convenience rather than romance. What begins as a tidy solution slowly becomes a warm, awkward, and thoughtful story about daily life, emotional distance, and modern expectations around work and relationships.
