After my rich wife only gave me five dollars a day, I was starving to death, and she changed her male partner every day.

Jude is hired by a wealthy family to marry Lydia, a woman still mourning the man who left her at the altar. Though Lydia is rich, she gives Jude only five dollars a day, and he grows gaunt while she moves from one boyfriend to the next. When she drives drunk to amuse a young companion, a crash cuts the hospital's power and his mother dies. Lydia offers a Black Card and cold words; Jude arranges the funeral alone.

At the funeral, Lydia's mother Vera learns the truth: the marriage certificate is fake, and Jude's seven-year contract is nearly over. Vera calls his mother's death a suicide and offers him a billion to keep their secret. Jude accepts, bound by the debt he owes her.

Lydia, meanwhile, orders Jude to plan a birthday party for Asher's mother, unaware his own mother is dead. With seven days left on the agreement, Jude counts them down, ready to walk away from a wife who never saw him.
