Oops! CEO, Your Substitute Bride Is A Hidden Boss!

“To save their failing company, Alexandra's stepmother threatened to melt down her late mother's necklace, forcing her to marry a billionaire on life support. She became the ridiculed bride of a living dead man. But on her very first day at the Carlisle manor, her nightmare escalated. While secretly using her medical skills to treat her comatose husband, she was caught by her vicious mother-in-law and a jealous doctor. They immediately accused her of attempting to murder the heir. The situation quickly spiraled out of control. When her husband's lecherous cousin snuck into her room and tried to assault her, she fought back, only for him to loudly frame her for seduction. Her mother-in-law didn't listen to a single word of her defense. "Drag this adulterous bitch out and throw her onto the street!" Bodyguards seized her, preparing to toss her out of the mansion wearing nothing but a bath towel so everyone could see her humiliation. Cornered, framed, and entirely alone, a wave of absolute despair washed over her. She was about to be ruined forever, stripped of her dignity and her chance for revenge. With the last shred of her sanity, she turned to the motionless man on the bed and screamed in raw anguish. "Eldridge Carlisle! You bastard! Wake up!" She expected nothing but silence from the vegetable. But suddenly, the medical monitors erupted in a frantic rhythm. The man who was declared never to wake up slowly opened his eyes, ordered the guards to back off, and claimed her as his wife. When the room was finally cleared, he pulled her close and whispered a secret that changed everything. "I've been awake since the first time you stuck a needle in me."”
