The Earth

A wedding nobody planned, on a farm everybody wants. The Earth (วิวาห์ปฐพี) opens the 4 Elements GL universe from North Star Entertainment, the first of four stories about the Watinwanich cousins, with Apple Lapisara and Mim Panthita in the lead roles.

Rose, full name Thippapha Amornjinda, is the heir to the Chomjan farmland in Chiang Rai. She has been living in America until her stepfather falls into a coma after an accident that looks less and less like an accident. She flies home to look after him and walks into a mess: a marriage arrangement nobody ever told her about, and a powerful neighbour named Wasu who wants her land for his illegal operations and wants her signature along with it.

Din, full name Kasama Watinwanich, runs an organic vegetable farm and was Rose's friend when they were children. She steps in to protect her, and the plan she lands on is blunt. If Rose is already married, Wasu has nothing left to claim. So the two agree to a sham wedding that has to hold up on paper and in front of the whole province.

A fake marriage is easy to sign and hard to perform. The pair stage a ceremony, then a honeymoon, then a daily routine of looking devoted for every curious neighbour. Jealousy turns up before either of them can explain it, and the threats around the farm keep growing. Under the schemes sits one plain question: once the danger is gone, will there still be a reason to stay married?
