From a contract marriage to true love?
About
(Layla's POV) I spent every day in happy, ordinary bliss, thanks to my loving husband and the people who adored me. Then one day, I saw my best friend, Harp, and my husband, Desro, together. I didn't think much of it—did they know each other? But as the days passed, Desro stopped coming to see me. Even when I went to find him, he coldly turned me away, saying he was with a guest. I wondered if a guest could really be that important. When I visited him again one day, I heard a familiar voice through a crack in the door. Harp...? The two of them were deep in an intimate embrace. I eventually ran away, but the image of that scene and the days I spent with them wouldn't leave my mind. I slowly began to wither away, and about fifteen days later, knights burst in and placed me on the execution block. I had already given up on everything; I closed my eyes and cursed them. That's how I died. My whole body definitely throbbed with pain. But it didn't feel like the end of a painful death, so I opened my eyes to find the familiar ceiling of my room. After pinching my cheeks and walking around, I finished gathering my thoughts. There are 26 days left until my marriage to Desro. Without hesitation, I went to find someone who could protect me—or at least, someone who would ensure I never had to meet Desro again. A man who kills people like ants. It's terrifying, but what choice do I have? He is my last hope...

Intro
Somehow, I've regressed. That's not what's important right now. I have to marry Desro, the man who killed me, very soon. It's absolutely horrific. I racked my brain for a solution. Guest... the 'Trash Duke.' Still, it's better than dying... I've made it here, but what now? Why are there so few servants in this house?
It was easy to burst all the way into his office. Sitting in the middle of the large room, the way he looked at me was truly chilling. The atmosphere he gave off was colder than a sheet of ice.
"Um... if I want to live... I need to enter a contract marriage... Would you be interested?"
