"This is a contract marriage."... more>>

"Yes, thank you!"

Averill, a girl who was called a genius in her childhood but was now mistreated as "incompetent", got married off as a "substitute" in place of her step-sister to an "old, lustful duke".

What awaited her at her destination was a handsome young man who was the complete opposite of what she had heard.

But of course, the people around her who believed Averill to be a villainess treated her badly. However, Averill, who was accustomed to being oppressed and easygoing, was not discouraged at all.

She obediently demonstrated her inherent insensitivity and ability as a "villainess (*compared to herself)", and turned them around into her allies.

On the other hand, the Duke quickly saw through that Avril was neither incompetent nor a villainess.

He asked, "Averill, who called you an incompetent woman? I won't forgive them."

"...Uh, that...?"

This is a story about a heroine who lived a strong life at her own pace even though her family didn't love her, but in a new place, she was cherished and lived a happy life. <<less

I was tricked by the dark and sinister type due to a contract I made when I was young, and I became a married woman!

Sure, we can get married. But I will still date!

This damn empire, it was more conservative than a backward country.

If I cheat after getting married → slap on the wrist.

If I’m accused of cheating when I didn’t → slap on the wrist.

I can’t live like this. I’m getting a divorce, a divorce! <<less

“Yura.”

Yura couldn’t help but hold her breath, wondering if her name had always sounded so sweet.

Was it I-hyun’s voice or her own ears that were the problem?

“Like this?” Yura struggled to look at I-hyun’s smiling eyes.

“Y-Yes.”

She turned her head away, biting her lip, as a deep shadow loomed over her face.

I-hyun had closed the distance in a flash, his head tilted slightly to match her gaze.

“Why, why are you doing this?”

Retreating step by step, Yura found herself blocked by the bookshelf, unable to move further.

I-hyun whispered closely in front of Yura, “I like ‘Honey’ better.”

With a soft, sultry sound, Yura’s voice broke.

She had never imagined that she would be kissing I-hyun.

Yura’s head spun with I-hyun’s deep breaths enveloping her.

Using my experience as a romance novel reader, I proposed a contract marriage, and thankfully, it was well received... Wait, they're being a little too accommodating? Is this the green light?

A dry gaze, as if looking at something worthless.
