The Predator’s Contract Partner

Description

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

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.

I really like the story so much but I had to drop it temporarily since the uploader takes time to translate and they do translate other works Which it dose take time to grab a lot of favorite novels but I do suggest that the uploader to focus on each project one by one, it’s been a year since I started reading this work and waiting for uploads and I dropped the manhwa because of the deleted scenes (why pickup a work to adapt if you’re going to make... more>> it r16 plus I had to guy coins to read it on RIDI) and again I really appreciate the uploader hard work and I gave them my support for that <<less

Real Rating: 4.7 / 5

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH : ( ( (pls read the trigger warning tags before you approach this novel!

This was such a roller coaster of emotions and is honestly such a tragedy when you think of their OG lives. I think this is actually more plot than smut as a whole, but the smut was good! It's just you are more taken by the plot and the characters.

I really love the development of the characters and how it is somewhat realistic in its trajectory based... more>> on how the previous life went. Our FL is truly a fighter, but at the same time possesses such delicacy and longing for a happy/normal life that even at her weakest moments you can't help but pity her and want the best for her. It's been a while since I've seen a FL that is so intelligent, resilient, cunning, vengeful and yet delicate and loving and just humane to the people she longs for the most.
Spoiler

It was also such an interesting take and narrative in explaining parts of her past life as we go along the novel, and we truly feel the angst and pain of her life. This was very well written and well thought of, especially considering that her approaches and desperation is further highlighted the more we get to know her in her previous life, where she was literally mentally insane and couldn't remember anything by the end of her previous life. We rarely get to see FL driven to that point and yet comeback so well.

[collapse]

Our ML is such an interesting character especially since it's at a point where he's been so traumatized and betrayed and mentally ill that it makes him have such a steadfast mentality and character from the very beginning of the novel. Even when he starts to fall in love with the FL do we see changes, but even then, it's still very much him and his own rules and control that we take such slivers of change as monumental moments in his character development. I think that my only gripe was how it took so long for him to TRULY change (comes in at the very last quarter of the novel) and it's to the point where you realize that his previous character and pride truly means nothing to him unless he has our FL.

super spoiler

Spoiler

This happens when even when he goes full yandere (he locks her up for months, and note, he's always been a yandere that he himself acknowledges, he just wasn't able to display it because our FL was so perfect haha) he realizes that when he physically has her, it's still not enough, and that in the end, even if he has her heart and body, what's more important is for her to be happy. For someone who has been to hell and back, I mean, witnessed his mother's su*cide, (only to find out it wasn't even his mother and she never loved him) tortured as a child, betrayed by his closest people when he was young, looked down upon by his whole family, constantly plotted against, only to find out he was cared for only when all these people were already dead, he's got a lot on his plate lmao. When he first confined her I thought I was never going to be able to forgive him, but in the end he does change and idk how to feel about it anymore. (Also considering the FL kinda did the same to him in their previous lives lmao) overall, he himself knows that he does not love in a proper way and is practically mentally ill when it comes to love, but is willing to change, to trust and to love and adore every part of her so that she can be happy. (Lmao he literally listened to a couples therapist and read women's romance novels just to get her to be happy.)

[collapse]

Another thing that I was kinda dissatisfied with in the novel was the ending of all the bad guys in their current lives. Whether it's Jacob, Carola, or the main Head of the family, we don't get satisfying deaths and true punishments;

Spoiler

They literally all just die quickly in their final moments, and we don't even get the satisfaction of having detailed explanations of their inner turmoil or karma when we think of HOW BAD OUR FL WAS TREATED. They literally torture her whole life, both mentally and physically then literally drive her to insanity with poisoned drugs and.. Idk.. I wish their deaths were more painful : ( (

[collapse]

Overall, this was such a spicy, intriguing, and heart-wrenching novel that makes you want more! The characters were well-developed, the storyline was interesting, and the smut was good. This is a novel I don't mind reading again and it's a happy and satisfying ending for our MCs. <<less

This is a ride.

First off, great translation. I don't remember anything that confused me so far. Kudos to the translators!

Second, if you're looking for smut, you're in the right place. But this is not just spicy, this can turn dark, and borderline immoral. A lot of trigger warnings. I'm currently at the part where I question how the author turns this around to what the other reviewers are swearing to be a good ending. Like seriously, I have read a lot of novels with red flag MLs, but this lead... more>> is the biggest red flag.

Almost-criminal smut aside, FL is everything you want. Strong, beautiful and smart. While she has the cheatcode of a regressor for most things, FL is not omniscient. Her journey towards revenge is not smooth, making the readers root for her more.

I'll probably update this review when I finish reading this story. The plot and pacing of the story were really great, up until I reached this part tho. So might change my mind later.

But for now, give this read a try! <<less

This book is gold I started reading for the smut but stayed for the plot. Everyone is low key scheming, I felt soo tense reading it. You have to be in the mood for scheming shenanigans and dark themes explored.

Plot 5/5

Smut 5/5

Intrigue 5/5

Dynamic female lead 5/5

Annoying characters 5/5

World building 4/5

Ultimate yandere male lead 10/5

The plot is amazing, the translation is spot on. The story now has 60 chapters, but at some point you have to ask is it worth it? I love this story it’s witty, well done, and the characters are so charming and real. But I don’t know if I have it in me to wait another 7 years (at the speed the updates are going) to finish the novel. So great novel but read at your own risk.

Just like someone else said already - it looks like a mix between Lucia and Predatory Marriage. I liked the first one, but I was a little bit annoyed with a weak FC. I LOVED the second one. And the author took the best parts from both of them and created something that hooked me so hard that I'm waiting for updates despite long waiting times (though recently they were more frequent, as Translator allows people to pay with Ko-Fi to get the updates faster).

The FL is cunning, intelligent and... more>> cold-blooded. The ML seems to already be a tsundere for her. The smut is great, the translation is of high quality as well. The plot is not advanced much so there's still a lot of aspects to be covered (like magic? Time regression? Political schemes?), but so far it all seems to be going to the just right direction <<less
