After the Dark Veil Lifts

In a society rebuilt on the principle of "Stability Above All," love is a liability. Every seven years, married couples must subject their bond to the cold, impartial judgment of the Dynamic Partnership Simulation. Pass, and your license is renewed. Fail, and your life together is dissolved.
For doctors Sama and Mateo, the test is a mere formality. After seven years, their love is stronger than ever, a perfect union of shared purpose and deep affection. They are the model couple, the system's ideal.
But when the simulation delivers a shocking verdict-instability, incompatibility, dissolution-their world is shattered. Forced apart and subjected to a cruel "reintegration" process, they begin to suspect the system isn't just flawed. It's malicious.
Their investigation uncovers a dark secret: a bitter, high-level administrator is using the test as a weapon, projecting her own past trauma to systematically destroy the city's happiest and strongest couples.
Now, Sama and Mateo must fight back. Branded as unstable failures and hunted by the very system they once trusted, they must unite a network of shattered couples to expose the truth. But in a world where love is a crime and the state knows every secret, can they lift the dark veil of lies before they are erased completely?
