I found myself reincarnated in a twisted novel where the monstrous male lead locks up the heroine. Worse yet, I’m the third candidate for his bride.

And to top it off, this happened before the fourth bride candidate—the actual heroine—arrived. In the original story, my character was supposed to have died by jumping off to avoid marrying him!

Some might say I should just disappear to make way for the male lead and heroine to meet, but…

‘Hmph! Don’t make me laugh!’

I’m determined to survive, grow old peacefully, and be surrounded by kids and grandkids. But first, it looks like I’ll have to marry this so-called ‘monster’ of a man…

“You must be fearless. Do you even know what’s under these clothes before talking so big?”

“Amazing abs?”

“……”

“A broad chest? A lean, defined waistline? Or maybe…”

The ‘monster’ duke’s face was so flustered, he instinctively checked to make sure his buttons were still fastened. His notorious reputation that kept others from even daring to make eye contact suddenly seemed laughable.

‘That modesty… I kinda like it.’

But not everything could be solved by enjoying a sweet (if slightly chaotic) honeymoon with my handsome yet reserved monstrous husband.

Because in the novel’s original ending, the male lead turned into a monster, killed everyone—including the heroine—and brought about the end of the world!

“God! You’re watching, right? I’ll stop the world from ending, so could you just give me a hint or two?”

I’d even tried seeking divine oracle at an abandoned chapel after learning my character was a saintess candidate…

“Why is this showing up here?”

The oracle I received… was actually the best comment?
