Claire marries a stranger at her staged wedding after overhearing a plot to replace her fiancé.
Claire overhears her parents and fiancé Ryan arranging a stand-in groom so her adopted sister can marry him instead. At the ceremony, six identical men await. Unable to recognize faces, she deliberately picks the only stranger, commands him to carry her out, and binds herself to him. Her family denounces her as cruel; Ryan demands her return. Her new husband dyes his hair ice blue so she can identify him, and his mother reveals he has loved Claire for a long time.
