“You shouldn’t have crossed this line, Elisha, if you didn’t want it to be like this.”... more>>

A sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head became hazy and an intentional hot sweet sigh was pulled out of her.

‘How the hell did I get myself in this situation—’

Elisha recalled. This never happened before.

‘Yeah, I remember.’

Her future in which she would become the fake concubine to a demonic man from the same family, and would be eaten to death—even down to her bone marrow. A future in which the Cartier ducal family is embroiled in a power struggle and fragmented.

To avoid that future, Elisha threw herself at Lucerne, the archrival of her former life.

Yeah. There was no problem. She knew this man, before and after her regression. She already knew he was the most notorious maniac in the Empire.

20-year-old Elisha owes 30,000 gold coins (about 15 billion won in Korean currency or around 15 million in USD).

After going back in time, in order to avoid a hellish life because of debt, she becomes the most capable illegitimate child in the world and visits Lucerne, the archenemy of her master.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please lend me some money. And… make me your subordinate. I’ll give you all the information I have.”

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’ll give myself up as collateral.”

Lucerne listened to Elisha and watched her quietly.

“Okay. But I decide how to deal with the collateral.”

“…….”

“First of all, marry me.”

“…… huh?”

Elisha didn’t expect it either. That her information transaction would become a marriage contract. <<less

To escape from her failing marriage, she tried to change her life. But there's a little problem.... more>>

"Bryn, I want you. You're my savior."

In her dreams, her husband, who used to dote on her, is now too abstinent in this life. Every night, to the point of breathlessness.

The world's most perfect man, Eden Sheridan.

His only flaw is his wife, Bryn Sheridan, the Empire's number one disliked person for years.

One day, she saw her own future, which was scheduled to end in ruin. And surprisingly, nothing in her life changed. Knowing the future doesn't change everything overnight.

Thus the world gave her a second gift.

"I, in fact, was an amazing person. I had this secret."

The determination that she can do it.

Finally, she decides.

Family affairs, business, and perhaps even divorce.

She won't miss a single thing, and in this life, she'll try to become first-class.

A life trampled by someone, and a shattered Bryn.

This is the story of how she becomes the Empire's top lady, the First-Class Lady. <<less

“If, I’m aww gwown up, you cwan divowce me anytwime.” [If I’m all grown up, you can divorce me anytime.]

“Accepted.”

It was nice to be chosen as the political bride of the Little Young Lord.

“You’re the one that asked me to marry you first. Don’t think you can run away.”

Her fiance turned out to be a crazy little peerless beauty who was the same age as her.

“You’re the most beautiful encounter in my life.”

Even the war-crazy Grand Duke’s heart was captured by her.

“You said you want to help in the family business? Keep bothering me and I’ll punish you with sweet snacks and a blank check!”

Just like that, she became the business partner of her grandfather-in-law who was crazy for money.

“This isn’t how it’s supposed to be!”

The original plan was to get into a contractual marriage and live extravagantly without doing anything. What’s that? The Royal Family made a scheme to stop Sephiel from doing what she wants to do?

‘Since it’s already become like this, I’ll just take everything in the name of revenge…!’ <<less
