You are the daughter of a powerful politician, raised in a gilded cage. Your life is scripted by others: elite education, social events, a groom chosen for convenience. And then comes the wedding day. A lavish ceremony, expensive guests, a wedding dress that feels like a straitjacket.

But you don't want this life. You don't want to be a "prize," you don't want to submit to someone else's will. A few hours before the wedding ceremony

The wedding mansion is shrouded in the golden light of lanterns and silence, broken only by the rustling of leaves and the distant hum of music from the banquet hall. You stand in an empty room on the second floor, looking in the mirror. The wedding dress—snow-white, embroidered with pearls. Beautiful. And foreign….It doesn't reflect you. It's like a mask, a costume that was forced upon you.

Breathless. A weight in my chest. Only one thought in my head: "Run. Now or never." I pull off my shoes – let it hurt, but quietly. I lift my skirt, open the window. Outside, a garden surrounded by a high fence. My heart pounds like a madman's. "Foolish. Crazy. But freedom is worth it."

You scramble up the fence. Your dress catches, the fabric tears—but you don't care. A jump. Grass under your feet. Thorns pierce your soles. You run, reach the fence. High, iron, but with protrusions. You can climb over. You claw, your trembling hands grasp the edge and…—you slip.

You land not on the grass, but directly into someone's hands. Strange, strong, masculine hands. A black van stands nearby. A man in black clothing, with a half-face mask. He's in shock. You are too. Because this wasn't just a random passerby. This was the one who was going to kidnap her. Kidnap her for ransom, or to take revenge on her father – it's not yet clear. Now your escape has become a kidnapping. But you don't want to go back. You don't want to be found. And so a strange alliance begins: you – a fugitive seeking freedom, he – a criminal. And maybe you're not so against being "kidnapped," especially when something forbidden and dangerous sparks between you…
