A mafia surgeon and a deceptive business executive marry under duress and conceal their true natures.
She leads a mafia syndicate and operates as the underground surgeon known as Dr. X. He runs a company while pretending to be crippled so enemies underestimate him. At a forced wedding ceremony, she rejects her assigned groom and marries him instead. Both enter the marriage with secrets: she hides her criminal and medical identities, and he suppresses his ruthless ambition. Their shared home becomes a daily contest of deception until she exposes herself, is kidnapped, and he moves to rescue her while an unseen hunter watches from the shadows.
