My Wife, the Forensic Expert - Episode 17

Vivian, a forensic doctor, endures contempt from her boyfriend who cannot accept her profession. After a bitter breakup she staggers into a bar to drown shame and anger—and wakes up beside her ex's uncle. The accidental night shatters her more than it comforts her. Faced with gossip and humiliation, she meets Wayne, a pragmatic businessman who doesn't pretend at sentiment. He remarks that while others say she 'smells like corpses,' they say he 'smells like money,' and proposes a cold bargain: marriage to neutralize scorn and secure dignity. Two wounded people, mismatched reputations, and a blunt proposal—can a transaction become trust, or will public scorn tear them apart?
