Seems promising so far! I wonder what the count is plotting. 👀

 

[amaranthia]

Ohoo.... so its marriage contract setting, interesting... especially since our MC is a widower...

 

[Tensaitkuroneko]

Please give her the divorce and her independence by the end of it!

I'm begging the author to at least not turn it into a series where the lead becomes the damsel in distress and remains a boss till the very end.

 

[Waffley]

Cute! Can't wait to see the ML fall for her and regret ever offering her an expiration date to their marriage hahahaha jk (although she probably never would've agreed in the first place if he didn't include an expiration)

@amaranthia I can't remember too many shoujo manga with this type of marriage contract setting, but I recall a good number of Korean webtoons have it.

 

[unime]

Um.. well... that happens in a blink of an eye
Many thanks

 

[amaranthia]

@zz2000 samee...can we call this trope a cliche now though? was planning to type that before but i refrain myself lol

 

[lenovoaxioo]

from this angle she looks like hoshino

Except in that era you'd be 'used goods' if you divorce and is practically no different from being an old maid? Unless of course you get a sizable severance and some property.

 

[Darkeaglestarks]

Almost mistake him as a prince lol🤣thanks for the update!

 

[Nyaaa]

The man is a bitch. Trash. Find a better man goddamnit. Don't be fooled by that face of his, MC!

 

[Moonie-light]

Thank you for the translation, I'm looking forward to the update~^^

Tentative follow. Will drop if FMC loses the fire in her spirit.

 

[Nimeri]

Wow, i've rarely seen such pretty horses in manga.

"Marriage contract"

I have to read twice just to make sure that I'm reading a manga and not a Chinese novel lol. Marriage contract is such a common plot in Chinese novels, so I'm surprised that it managed to find its way into Japanese manga. Please be good at least.

@Aichan
She's not planning on getting married again after. She just wants to bring honor to her family (though I feel like getting a divorce would actually be more dishonorable because it used to imply that there was something wrong with the woman, unless the man straight up admits it's his fault).

 

[Aichan]

@Sarsak
Not saying that she will get married again, I don't have that info.

What I was saying was that, being married and then divorced is no better than being an unmarried spinster. As you said, it would suggest that there's something wrong with the woman such as maybe infidelity, bad personality or a gold digger. That would be worse for her family unless she gets a sizeable severance to make being the butt end of all high society's jokes and derision worthwhile. In those days, there was no honour in being divorced, you'd be shamed forever even if it's all the guy's fault.

 

[Qelix]

Yeah. Say yes at that moment, because there is no need for thinking such potentially life-up-fucking steps through for a day or two. What a bad setup.
