Synopsis
After facing death and going back in time, the second marriage to her ex-husband was for the sole purpose of getting pregnant. Her only hope in an unhappy marriage, the child she gave birth to with her cold hearted husband. Her first life, which was only focused on that child, ended at the hands of an unknown assailant. ‘If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t love him.’ Thus, in her second life, which she miraculously obtained, she chose to marry him with the sole intention of meeting her child again, unlike her previous life, which longed for love. “Just stay married to me for a year.” In return, she would cooperate in his investigation on a secrets incident that happened over 10 years ago as he wished. She thought they were just a married couple in name only, bound by a contract. “There’s no need to spend the first night together.” She stated. “But I want to.” He was acting different from her past life. *** I thought I would quietly leave as soon as I had a child. But I couldn’t help but say it when I saw his mistress in this life as well. “That woman, she’s the woman you love.” The answer to the words I spoke to prevent a repetition of the evil fate of my previous life was unexpected. “Until this contract is over, you are my wife.” “…” “I’m doing all of that only with you.” Seeing him reveal a creepy obsession for some reason, I pushed myself to gather my thoughts. Don’t forget, Blair. He doesn’t love you. So in this life… I’ll leave you first.

Honestly this was a bit of an infuriating novel to read and I would rate it 6/10 (with extremely generous rating). I only read it because the artist doing the novel adaptation is my favourite artist. The Male lead is hopeless and a son of a b*****. Throughout the novel he always talks about how his wife is significantly \”weaker\” than the average noblewoman. But still relishes in psychologically & verbally tormenting her. The Male lead grovelling isn\’t even good and basically lasts only a chapter and a half. He should have been punished even longer for tormenting her in her first life and second. Female lead is just as stupid for taking him back. The only reason I gave this a higher rating is because the side stories are cute.
