Asher Blackwood, billionaire CEO of Blackwood Industries, had it all: wealth, power, and a string of glamorous girlfriends. But when his grandfather, the company's founder, threatens to cut him off from the family fortune, Asher is forced to comply with one condition: marry the naive village girl, Sophia, chosen by his grandfather. Sophia, with her simple charm and kind heart, is the complete opposite of the high-society women Asher is accustomed to.

Asher Blackwood stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse office, gazing out at the breathtaking view of the city skyline. His eyes, however, were not admiring the view. They were narrowed, his mind seething with anger and resentment.
"Asher, you need to calm down and listen to what I have to say," his grandfather, Edward Blackwood, said firmly, his voice low and authoritative.
Asher turned to face his grandfather, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I don't need to calm down, Grandfather. I need you to retract your absurd statement."
Edward sighed, his expression unyielding. "I will not retract my statement, Asher. You have been given ample opportunities to settle down and marry a suitable woman. Instead, you've wasted your time on shallow relationships and frivolous pursuits. It's time for you to take responsibility and ensure the continuation of the Blackwood legacy."
Asher sneered. "And how do you propose I do that?"
"You will marry the woman I have chosen for you," Edward replied, his eyes glinting with determination. "Her name is Sophia. She's a kind and gentle soul from a village in the countryside. She will make you a good wife and provide you with the heirs you need to secure the Blackwood legacy."
Asher's face twisted in disgust. "You can't be serious. I'm a billionaire, Grandfather. I can have any woman I want. Why would I settle for some naive village girl?"
Edward's expression turned cold. "Because, Asher, if you don't marry Sophia and make her a suitable wife, I will cut you off from the family fortune. You will be left with nothing."
Asher's eyes widened in shock. He had never seen his grandfather so resolute. He knew that Edward was not a man to be trifled with. He would do exactly as he threatened.
Asher's mind racing, he realized he had no choice. He would have to marry Sophia, no matter how much he despised the idea.
