Dear Contract Husband, I Didn’t Know You Were Like This?

Romance
General Dropped Dropped

After committing many atrocities as the tyrant’s knight throughout her life, she decided to end it all.
However, she was reborn.

Determined not to repeat the same mistakes, Maya decides against joining the Imperial Guard and instead, enters into a contractual marriage with Grand Duke Tristan.

‘We can both benefit from this contractual marriage.’

She thought the conditions of the contractual marriage were reasonable for them both.
That is, until she realized she had to share a bed with him.

“So, you only intended to take my body, my dear.”

That was before her too-handsome husband began to seduce her.

Grand Duke… You weren’t like this before, right?

      He is necessary however to speed up the development of the romance between dense and denser

      Ugh, this guy 😒 clearly aspires to be one of those crap MLs who ensure that 'powerful' female protagonists (AKA fake action girls) loaf around the whole novel never doing anything more dangerous - or interesting - than pouring tea at their dainty ladylike afternoon parties. And we are supposed to be charmed by their over-protectiveness. 🤢


      Seconding the hope that Tristan gets rid of him quickly! - and more importantly, does not himself develop any of these 'loving' and 'chivalrous' notions about keeping the little woman safe as his feelings for Maya bloom.

      Esse mago é muito irritante, quem ele pensa que é? Se não vai ajudar direito, não atrapalha ela pow
      Thanks for the update 🇧🇷 😸 🥰

      That idiot will only get in the way of Maya's awakening. 😠
      I hope Tristan can get rid of Kendrick quickly, because the warlock is getting on my nerves.
      But at least we don't have a lunatic after the Grand Duke fighting for his attention.
      🤔
      I really hope the author doesn't add a spoiled little lady who's in love with Tristan. That would be as annoying as seeing Kendrick pretending to be a nice guy in front of Maya.
    6. Alerquia

      857d ago
      Kendrick, you scoundrel, don't you dare go near Maya! She's already got a good husband.
      😠
    7. Alerquia

      857d ago
      Honey, you'll make it impossible for Tristan to let you go.
      🤭

      Ahg! Damn stupid male pride.
      😠
    12. Alerquia

      Kick her ass girl!
      🤭
    13. Alerquia

      857d ago
      Dear wizard, you're a third wheel here. Just go on your way and don't get in the way of my couple.
    14. Alerquia

      857d ago
      Hahaha, yet another female protagonist who falls for a face above the male beauty standard. Honey, just enjoy the fact that it's not every day that a handsome guy asks you to marry him.
      😉
    15. Alerquia

      857d ago
      Please, Mr. Author, add some kissing and making out as a way of breaking the curse, not this "just be by my side" business, that's so vague and disappointing for us lovers of hot scenes.
      🥺🥹
    16. Alerquia

      857d ago
      Ah, eu tava torcendo para ter cenas mais calientes.
      🤭
    17. Alerquia

      857d ago
      I don't know whether to hope that she'll throw herself into his arms straight away or to continue playing hard to get. 😅
    18. Alerquia

      857d ago
      I don't think six months will be enough.
    19. Alerquia

      857d ago
      I suspect Tristan has the "Benjamin Button" curse. 😂
    20. Alerquia

      858d ago
      I was almost cursing Maya for going back on her actions. Girl, just kick the bucket once and for all and beat the crap out of this family of useless addicts.
    21. Alerquia

      858d ago
      Oh, although I'd like to see more suffering in this timeline, this is certainly promising. Maya doesn't seem to be as naïve a character, to say the least, as she seems.
      Regarding Tristan's curse, there's a possibility that it's the kind that reverses his lifespan, as if he were Benjamin Button. But there's also the possibility that his curse is related to some kind of immortality. However, I'm betting on the Benjamin Button theory.
    22. Alerquia

      858d ago
      It gives me a slight "villain lives twice" vibe. I thought it was nice that Maya wasn't a foolish woman who acted because she was in love, but it's a fact that she was manipulated by the emperor. However, given that she murdered people, regardless of whether she was forced to, people would see her as a cruel and sadistic subordinate.
    23. Alerquia

      858d ago
      Oh, yet another creature deluded by a tyrannical ruler.

      I don't think it's about a life regression but regression of age/appearance... ~google translate

    40. Aisho

      886d ago
      eh? so that means he regressed first? if he regressed in this life too, that would mean it would be his second regression 👀
    41. Aisho
