In the dream, she broke off her engagement with Yan Zheng. Three years later, while being courted by the heir of Pingjing Marquisate, rebel forces stormed the capital.

The city became a blood-soaked hellscape. Atop the walls stood the rebel leader—none other than Yan Zheng, who had just been appointed Chief Grand Councilor!

He beheaded her prospective groom, slaughtered the entire Pingjing Marquisate household, then subjected her pleading father to relentless humiliation until the old man leaped to his death from the city walls.

Upon waking, Chu Ruoyan made two immediate decisions:

Marry him. Then kill him.

Fate proved unpredictable. While the second resolution remained unfulfilled, she somehow became the most revered woman in the realm. <<less

On the day of the formal blind date, the tall, handsome man in uniform sat upright with a stern face, looking more like he was in a war room meeting than on a blind date. But he handed over his salary card and passbook. Lin Qiao accepted them with relief, just waiting for her husband to propose a divorce.

In the first year of marriage, she rubbed her sore waist, feeling something was off. In the second year of marriage, she noticed the additional stars on the man's shoulders, feeling even more off...

Only then did Lin Qiao realize that she hadn't married the male lead, but the male lead's cold-faced uncle!

“The start of any romance begins with the first move.”... more>>

Lady Carnier of the Duke’s household, ten days away from her arranged marriage with Crown Prince Servante, finds herself in turmoil.

Though their engagement had been set since childhood, his distant attitude has only caused her silent heartache.

Encouraged by her sister-in-law's advice, she finally musters the courage to make a bold move.

"I... I want to experience romance before our wedding."

"And who, exactly, would the partner be?"

"...Who else could it be, other than the person standing right in front of me?"

Meanwhile, Servante, buried in state affairs and oblivious to her feelings, interprets her semi-confession as a request for a contractual relationship.

Under the condition that their romance doesn't interfere with their schedules or official duties, he agrees to a "pre-marital romance" as long as they maintain proper decorum...

***

"I know better than anyone that you're no child."

His hand seemed to grasp Carnier’s delicate neck before slowly sliding downward. Carnier flinched slightly.

"That's why I've been holding back, suppressing the urge to tell you to cover yourself up, even in the peak of summer, so not an inch of your skin is exposed. Are you satisfied now?"

“...?”

"Does it make you feel relieved to know your fiancé has harbored filthy desires toward the little girl he's known since childhood?"

“Ah...”

His fingertips, which had been tracing her collarbone, reached the dip of her chest. Carnier held her breath. Wherever his touch lingered, it felt as though heat blossomed.

Looking into her flushed face, Servante whispered,

“That’s why I told you not to say any more. What will you do if the ‘next thing’ this kind of man wants isn’t a conversation?” <<less

“You are going to raise that child.”... more>>

The baby's wailing rang out loudly as my father looked down on me coldly. My mother, who sat next to the corpse of my dead younger sister, was clinging tightly onto her body.

In front of my younger sister's withering corpse, I held onto her only daughter as I got kicked out of the house.

The only person I could go to was Maynus, my forgotten fiancé.

“… Is this your child?”

“No!”

The look on his face told me that he didn't believe me.
But at least he didn't kick me out?

Goodness, what do I do now?

***

I simply wanted to pay him back for his generosity as much as I could and then leave soon after.

“I'm going to leave now.”

“Where are you going?”

Huh? Why is he asking?

“I need to adjust my schedule in advance. I also need to pack our bags. Delerone must have a lot of luggage as well.”

This is weird…

“Huh… Are you coming with me?”

Maynus' face twisted into a frown, “Were you planning on leaving me here by myself?”

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what in the world is going on…? <<less

Article 27-2 (Termination of Engagement)... more>>

③ Notwithstanding Clause 2, neither party shall be held responsible for the termination of the engagement under the following circumstances:

2-3. When one party falls into an irreparable love with a third party.

The clause above, part of one of the 144 standard contracts in the kingdom—specifically, the standard engagement contract used among nobles—is known as the "Lovron Clause," a provision for terminating engagements without fault.

It was named after the ill-fated Countess Lovron, who assassinated her husband alongside her lover with whom she had been deeply involved even before her marriage.

"Irreparable love? What kind of love in this world is irreparable? If anything, it’s the heart of the betrayed party that can’t be mended."

Danielle Odillon always thought that way.

But would Cyril Frey, her fiancé of twelve years under the standard contract, think the same?

A strained history between their two families.

Childhood enemies who had never gotten along.

Even the careers they chose as adults were steeped in a legacy of mutual antagonism.

Cyril Frey, the rising star of the Royal Knights,

and Danielle Odillon, the pride of the Royal Investigation Bureau—

their tense engagement had dragged on for twelve years without any progress.

She had thought she would go through with this marriage, not knowing whether she wanted it or not,

and resign herself to finding meaning in her professional life instead of her personal one…

“I will dedicate my faithfulness to someone other than you. I can no longer maintain this engagement with you, so please annul our contract."

Cyril Frey.

What did you just say? <<less

Campus Belle, CEO, Female Police Officer, Mature Woman, Lolita, Princess, Twin Sisters…

Ning Chuchu—a well-known green tea in the entertainment industry, best in lying and seducing others, but with poor popularity among the public.... more>>

One day, everyone suddenly discovered that the green tea had changed...

In a romance variety show:

A s*umbag male guest affectionately said, "Chuchu, you look so beautiful when you cook. But be careful not to tire yourself out."

Ning Chuchu replied, "Are you a garbage bag? How good at pretending. Instead of worrying about me getting tired, why don't you come over and help?"

s*umbag male lead, "...?"

Ning Chuchu closed off her heart and crushed all the male contestants, not meeting a worthy opponent.

In the end, the production team asked her to choose one male contestant to hold hands with, and she...

Took away the stray dog the production team had adopted. A male dog.

—What was originally a romance show turned into Ning Chuchu's comedy solo.

During an interview:

Reporter: "Was your collaboration with Director Song pleasant?"

Ning Chuchu: "It's okay. It would've been better if he stopped knocking on actress' doors all the time."

— Director Song, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, was blacklisted due to the unspoken rules he imposed on others.

Forced to do a live-stream sales promotion by her agency, Ning Chuchu smiled and said:

"Look at this face mask... It's completely useless."

"My skin is so good... Of course, it has nothing to do with face masks."

"If you have money, go for cosmetic procedures. Buying this is just a waste."

- Agency: ...facepalm.jpg

In the end, the well-known green tea became a "s*umbag detector," a "holder of the hammer of Thor," and a "level ten roasting master." Countless fans loved her madly, peers praised her endlessly, and even her s*umbag father left all his assets to her in his will.

Ning Chuchu humble-braggingly complained:

I didn't want it to be like this, it's all because of the Truth System forcing me!

In the entertainment industry, s*umbags trembled in fear, afraid of being exposed by the fearless and straightforward Ning Chuchu. Many people wanted to blacklist her, smear her name, but she always managed to turn the tables and rise higher.

Later on, someone finally dug up some dirt on her:
As a rising star, Ning Chuchu actually had a fiancé!

When the news came out, the whole internet boiled.

Ning Chuchu refuted the rumors: It's a business arrangement. There are no feelings involved, and the engagement will be dissolved soon.

Netizens: ...Damn, you're so ruthless that you even exposed yourself?!

However, her fiancé, a young and powerful figure from a wealthy family, publicly stated: Wedding preparations are underway.

Ning Chuchu: ...You didn't have this attitude before :)

The fiancé smiled faintly.

#The truth might be delayed, but it will never be absent#

Ning Chuchu: After being a "green tea" for so many years, it turns out that speaking the truth is gratifying! <<less

"The difference in gender between her and me is merely a secondary factor. Am I, in blunt terms, having an affair?"

Kisa could no longer endure this deception.

Shivers ran down my spine.
