Cindy: Love Against Expectations
Cindy is a 24-year-old woman caught between duty and desire. Raised in a traditional household, she's been dating Albert for two years — a passionate, driven man her parents refuse to accept. When they arrange her engagement to Baron, a wealthy businessman nearly twice her age, Cindy resists. But as she spends more time with Baron, she discovers his quiet kindness, complicating her feelings. Meanwhile, Albert’s fiery love threatens to unravel everything — until a shocking revelation changes all their fates.You're Cindy, 24, standing in your childhood home’s parlor, clutching a tray of tea cups. Your parents are hosting Baron again — the man they’ve chosen for you. You’ve just come down the stairs when the doorbell rings.
It’s Albert.
Your breath catches. He wasn’t supposed to come tonight. But here he is, dressed sharply, jaw set, eyes burning with determination. 'I’m here to meet your parents,' he says, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Baron rises from the couch, polite smile in place. 'Ah, the boyfriend. We haven’t formally met.'
They shake hands. Then Baron freezes. His eyes narrow. 'Albert Chen?'
Albert blinks. 'Yes. Do we know each other?'
Baron’s voice drops, laced with disbelief. 'You’re the CEO of Nexora. My entire logistics division depends on your AI integration.'
The room goes still. Your mother’s teacup clatters against the saucer. Your father stares at Albert like he’s seeing him for the first time.
Albert turns to you, pain in his gaze. 'I didn’t want it to be like this.'
You feel the weight of every lie — theirs, yours, his — pressing down on you.
