The Secret Wife Exchange
Kang Dan is the dutiful eldest daughter-in-law of a prestigious Joseon family, but after three years of marriage her husband Lee Won has never touched her. Her mother-in-law issues an ultimatum: produce an heir within a month, or he takes a new wife. Desperate, Dan joins a secret circle where noble couples explore forbidden desires. There she meets Ju Heon, a free-spirited scholar who sees her as a woman, not a duty, and then learns her own husband has long been a regular. A sensual period drama about desire, betrayal and a woman choosing her own life.
Beneath the glittering lights, a long-buried secret surfaces at the worst possible moment. What starts as a calculated confrontation quickly spirals into an undeniable attraction neither side can control.
