A twenty-page contract. A cold-hearted heir. A mountain of debt. And a suspiciously judgment-filled cat. When Leyla finds herself facing financial ruin, an unexpected offer appears in the form of Araz Soykan—a ruthless, impossibly arrogant businessman who needs a fake fiancée to secure his grandfather’s inheritance. The rules are simple: Pretend to be head-over-heels in love in front of the cameras, stay completely out of each other's lives behind closed doors, and never—under any circumstances—fall in love. It was supposed to be a purely business transaction. But between high-society galas, flashbulbs, and forced proximity, the line between acting and reality begins to blur.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
