Born to run. Born with that inherent desire to run.

Lalin Vongviphan is a gifted architect whose life is a blueprint of crumbling dreams. While she spends her days designing skylines, her reality is grounded in the suffocating debt of her father’s gambling—a staggering one billion baht owed to Bangkok’s most ruthless predators. When the sharks begin to circle her family, an unlikely savior appears from the glass towers of the city: Phakin Rattana, the reclusive billionaire known as the "King of Bangkok." Phakin offers a lifeline that feels more like a golden noose. He will erase her father’s debt and provide top-tier medical care in exchange for a three-year marriage contract. Lalin must play the role of the perfect, devoted wife to repair his image and navigate the treacherous waters of high-society PR. She enters the "Gilded Cage" expecting cold indifference, but she is met with a man who is as intoxicating as he is terrifying. Behind his clinical mask, Phakin is a man of "obsidian" features and "casually cruel" beauty, whose touch—though rare—ignites an electric connection Lalin cannot explain. However, Lalin is unaware that she is the centerpiece of a decade-long masterpiece of revenge. Phakin blames Lalin’s father for the Red Sky Mall collapse—a tragedy that claimed the lives of his parents. To him, Lalin is not a wife; she is a variable to be "neutralized," a hostage taken to force her father to watch his most precious possession belong to his enemy. As they navigate "public perception management" trips to private islands and glittering galas, the scripted lines begin to blur. Phakin find himself protecting Lalin from his own ex-fiancée, Araya, and her past flame, Kit. In the "Shadow of the West Wing," Lalin discovers the dark truth of Phakin’s obsession, leading to a collision of secrets. When the realization hits that they may both be pawns of a deeper conspiracy involving "Emerald Peak," the King of Bangkok must decide if he will follow his plan to break her, or burn his empire to the ground to keep her.
