I Became the Duke’s Trashy Affair Partner

“I need you to have an affair with me.” To break off his forced engagement with the imperial princess, the immensely wealthy duke, Leopold Otero von Bern, devises a perfect fake-adultery scheme. Violetta Hernandez, a fallen noblewoman, became an “affair consultant” after repeatedly breaking up with her ex-lovers who cheated on her with the princess. She barely scrapes by on consultation fees from her clients. But one day, she receives a notice demanding repayment of her family’s enormous debt, and is pushed into a situation where she must urgently cover her younger brother’s tuition as well… “Tuition is nothing—I’ll take responsibility for your brother’s entire future.” “What about mine? If I get labeled as a homewrecker, I can forget about ever getting married.” All she ever wanted was a modest, love-filled marriage—just enough to live on. Is becoming his mistress really the only answer? “I’ll make sure we don’t get caught. Just leave behind traces—enough for the princess to completely misunderstand.” And so begins a nationwide fake-adultery scheme. The man who claimed they would only pretend to cheat keeps crossing the line. “You think this kind of evidence will work?” “You said you came here to earn your pay.” “Then at least put in the effort—leave something like a kiss mark.” Somehow… it feels like she’s gotten herself involved with the wrong man.
