At the mouth of an alley, that blind fortuneteller said to me, “You are destined to have a rough road of love. Your entire life will be intertwined with a man, and it will be impossible for you to acquire a peaceful end.”

Are you kidding me? You didn't even work out whether I’m a man or a woman and you dare want money? I’m doing a good deed by not wrecking your stand.

But now she has a golden opportunity to change her life.... more>>

"What? The Erelheim estate with the title of Grand Count is up for bid?!"

Evelyn is determined, 'I will take it. I'll take it... even if it kills me!'

But there are certain qualifications for bidding. First, you must come from a family with a title of marquis or higher, or second, you must have been granted judicial power by the Holy See, or third, you must have been honored by the Imperial Family. It's including your family and spouse.

"Then the solution is simple. I will hire a physically fit, unmarried man who meets the above conditions to be my contract husband!"

Could the most despised person in the Empire be able to hire such a husband? Of course not. So I'm offering you the highest salary in the industry, and I'll give you the most generous benefits ever. Once I win the bid, I will grant you a clean divorce and make sure you get your alimony!

“Brigid Grimbursty, you’re fired!”... more>>

Mrs. Kat, Brigid’s employer’s wife, yelled, handing her a letter and a small box. Brigid got axed from her tutoring job over adultery accusations.

(There’s proof of s*xual harassment, so let’s seek penalties and charge the wrongdoer!)

Brigid exited the place, bubbling with excitement.

In reality, Brigid is a reincarnated soul. In her past life, she was an overworked elementary school teacher who died in her thirties. She reincarnated as the fallen lady (mob) from a web novel she used to read.

Her favorite character in the novel is a villain from an orphanage. Raised without love, she eventually meets her end at the hands of the story’s main character.

She vows, “I’ll protect Oshi’s life! I won’t let him become a villain!” She struggles to adopt Oshi, but realizes that she can’t do so if she remains unmarried. To secure Oshi’s future, she uses her money and otaku collectibles to support the orphanage.

Brigid loses her tutoring job due to adultery accusations, but the “Impossible Marquis, who never falls in love,” suggests a fake marriage to become his preferred adoptive parent. With no reason to decline, Brigid eagerly agrees to the ruse.

As time passes, she falls in love with him and is even cherished by the Ironclad Marquis, who once insisted he couldn’t love her as a wife.

This is a story that blends childcare and fantasy, using the knowledge of otakus and teachers in a tale of love and family. <<less

“Saint, you must marry me.”... more>>

“Through this, our Antagon will shed the image of a heretic, and you, Saint, will be free.”

The moment Azniel, who had once rescued a wounded, emaciated boy with jet-black eyes and radiant blond hair a decade ago, saw him in the handsome man before her, there was no way she could resist taking his hand.

A prenuptial agreement filled only with favorable terms for her, a grand mansion, inexhaustible wealth in gold and treasures, and excessive generosity.

‘You will surely become free.’

Azniel believed the boy had returned to keep the long promise

“I asked my wife for nothing from the start.”

Until she faced the husband who never stood by her.

“You truly desire nothing… right?”

Everything the perfect husband offered tightened her throat and drained her dry.

And so, after exhausting her last purpose, Azniel left her husband without hesitation. There was nothing more for him to gain from this marriage, which had been her salvation in the mire.

But why?

“Even if I am repulsive, live by my side and disdain me.”

Why did he desperately seek her out?

“Please, don’t say that I was wrong….”

Kneeling at her feet and sobbing bitterly. <<less

Apparently, I was the ‘Peerless Saint’, and although I had immense power, it was presently sealed. That barely mattered though…

“…My husband is too awesome…!?”

Before I lost my memory, I was a villain who had abused her power as the strongest saint to cause misdeeds. Oswald, a genius magician, said that we were married solely because he was the only one who could kill me. Thus, he was keeping an eye on me.

“Then, if I were to help you, would you date me, Oswald?”

“Hmm, if you truly could, I’ll hold your hand and we can go on a date—I get it, stay back, don’t hug me!!”

I could no longer use my divine power as the saint and everyone around me despised me. Above all, my newly-married husband loathed me…

I’m such a bad wife. For now, let’s keep the fact that I’ve lost my memory a secret.

As compensation for my past evil deeds, I’d like to help my beloved husband as much as possible.
