“I’ll give you a chance to explain. Tell me.”... more>>

A scene of infidelity, with my husband in front of me and my affair behind me. If this were a play, I, reincarnated as the cheating wife, would be in the spotlight.

“I’ve been waiting for you to come, honey.”

“…What?”

“Arrest him. He’s a spy who tried to seduce me and steal the duchy’s secrets.”

This is going to be the best scene to overturn the worst.

Ethan, who has always neglected his wife, and Camille, who chose to have an affair out of thirst for affection. Now that I’ve changed my future and avoided being kicked out penniless, all that’s left is divorce. But my husband, who is supposed to welcome it,

“No divorce.”

I mean, we were never good enough, right? Wasn’t it a relationship that burned to ashes?

“Look me in the eye and tell me. Do you really have no heart?”

The sparks from the fire went in an unexpected direction.

“Let’s see now.”

As if it would flare up again at any moment. <<less

I got reincarnated into an adult-rated depraved romance story. To make matters worse, I was reborn as the daughter of an evil mage who captured and tortured the male lead—who is half human and half demon.. ... more>>

At this rate, I will die at the hands of the male lead, so I decided to help him escape before he awakens.

Successfully executing my plan, I thought I could part ways with him and live a peaceful life.

"Promise me we'll meet again. If you break it, you'll die. Both you and I."

Even though I knew it was a promise I couldn't keep, I still wagered my pinky finger and made the vow.

And seven years later.

Clyde, who I thought I would never see again, came back.

"If you wanted to deceive my eyes, you should have at least disguised yourself."

Clyde slowly brushed my cheek with the back of his hand. The area where our skin made contact felt like an electric jolt.

"For seven years, not a single day went by that I forgot your face. Don't ever think you can deceive me again." <<less

The daughter of a viscount, Eleanor Townsend lost her parents at a young age andhad been receiving sponsorship from the Duke of Griffith. This sponsorship led to rumors that Eleanor must be the Duke's illegitimate daughter.... more>>

Suddenly, the Duke declares that his heir, Daryl, must maintain a one-year marriage with Eleanor, or he won't inherit the title. Daryl approaches Eleanor and proposes a contractual marriage for just one year.

"If you want to repay my father's favor, you'll have to accept my offer. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to go through this absurdity."

He was a cold and arrogant man.

Throughout their contract marriage, Daryl's tongue had been like a poisoned blade, cutting through Eleanor.

"Don't delude yourself into thinking you're a real duchess. Live as if you were dead for a year. Don't speak to me."

She endured it, waiting only for the day when this marriage would end.

However, why is it that the one who never took her side, not even once, is now trying to hold onto her?

**.

"You're the one who said it only needed to be a formality; you're the one who asked me to marry you in the first place; you're the one who brought me a contract stipulating a divorce after a year; you're the one who coerced me into paying the favor the former duke had given me."

"......Eleanor, back then, I was."

"You told me not to delude myself into thinking I became a real duchess, and live like dead for a year. You practically treated me like I didn't exist the entire time."

"......"

"It was a lonely life, many, many times more lonely than the one I lived alone in Townsend Street, but I put up with it, because it was a promise, because I thought it was my way of making amends for the trouble I'd unwittingly caused you, and so I put up with it, because it was only a year, and I can't put up with it any longer, and I don't want to."

The calm way she spoke to Daryl contained all the truth Eleanor had kept bottled up inside for a year.

"Now please leave."

"......"

"If you don't leave, I will." <<less
