It’s not a contract marriage! More like fl wooing the ml, so she won’t change the original novel’s plot
I think you’ve replied to the wrong manga ml is genuinely so nice and respectful
the fl sticking to her "let's divorce anyway" pmo too, so won't read for that as it's implied in the title
The title isn't exactly right either. The ML isn't really a cold Duke either. And FL is the opposite of a Villainess. She's trying to hard to follow the script of the novel, but every time she's in front of the Duke, her soft self shows on her face without herself noticing it, making the Duke fall for her instead. But FL is dense.
didn't read more after the first chapter because I'm not reading another "i love you so you must become mine" romance where it's probably a contractual relationship with terms unfavorable to the woman and all decided by the man but the man acts like it's the greatest tragedy of his life and neglects her even tho he has obligations as her husband and a humam being to respect and protect her bc he's the one who put her in this situation, until he slowly falls for her and her kindness and beauty and now he doesn't want it to end eventho she wants to, bc he never has and never will respect her wishes and treat her like her own person and not his tool/possession.
thank you very much
