I Defied My Parents and Married a Homeless Man — Then Everything Changed

Miley, a successful 34-year-old woman, is constantly pressured by her wealthy parents to settle down.

When they issue a harsh ultimatum—get married before turning 35 or lose her inheritance—she feels cornered.

Out of frustration and defiance, Miley makes a rash decision. She proposes a fake marriage to Stan,

a homeless man she meets on the street, offering him comfort in exchange for playing the part.
She doesn’t expect anything more than a transaction—but fate has other plans.

Stan agrees to the plan, and after a quick makeover, Miley presents him to her stunned parents as her fiancé.

They go through with the marriage, and to Miley’s surprise, Stan is kind, funny, and easy to be around.

Though they grow unexpectedly close, Stan remains guarded about his past. Miley senses there’s more to him than he lets on but doesn’t push.
The line between pretend and real begins to blur in ways neither of them anticipated.

One evening, everything changes when Stan shows up dressed sharply, holding a ring, and proposes for real.

He reveals that he once owned a company, but his brothers betrayed him, leaving him homeless and in hiding.

With Miley’s help, he’s been quietly working to reclaim his identity and fortune. His vulnerability and strength deeply move her.
What began as a lie is now the most honest thing in both their lives.

Realizing how much they’ve come to mean to each other, Miley says yes—not for her parents or the money, but for love.

What started as an impulsive rebellion turns into a genuine romance built on trust and second chances.

Together, they begin a new chapter, not out of spite, but from something far more powerful: choice.
In the end, it wasn’t the ultimatum that shaped her life—it was the man she never saw coming.
