【Background fiction】
[abo theme, A has no pendant]
Flirting without knowing pure love alpha × gentle and kind omega
Jiang Yuchu × Xia Yirou
Summary of the emotional line: Jiang Zhi flirted with Xia in the early stage, and Xia flirted with Jiang in the later stage.
(probably longer period of ambiguity)
Business line summary: Gradually develop, but with golden fingers, the development is generally smooth.
————————————————————————
When he woke up, Jiang Yuchu was shocked to find that she had passed through
That’s fine
The level of economic development here is lagging behind, decades away from the level of economic development in the world she lived in. (The background is completely fictitious, everything serves the plot)
Not only that,
The people here are divided into six genders: male, female × alpha, omega, beta.
This is also acceptable
Who can tell her why she dresses like a scumbag
The original body has a bad personality, does not do a proper job, spends a lot of money, and abuses after drinking…
The ex-wife hates her, the daughter is afraid of her, and she was kicked out of the house by her parents (originally made by herself)
Unbearable!
Really: the beginning is the “peak”!
See how the “scumbag” reversed the market and reached the pinnacle of life, with a bumper harvest in career and love
The heroine has golden fingers and brings good luck.

Before we were together: Xiaoxia didn’t want to care about Xiaojiang
Xiaoxia: “Don’t touch me”
“leave me alone”
“I do not want”

After being together:
Xiaoxia: “Good morning kiss~”
“Good night kiss~”
“Farewell Kiss~”
—————————————————————————————————
Xia Yirou: One day in the future, will you suddenly leave me?
Jiang Yuchu: Fool~ There will be no such day. Wherever you are, I will be there.
Home is where you are
—————————————————————————————————
Xia Yirou: It’s you who made me believe that there is really love in this world.
Jiang Yuchu: Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, I will come to you
I will go against my nature, against my instincts, and love you forever – “The Selfish Gene” book review

- Description from novelbuddy

It’s been 11 years since I’ve lived for others and not for me.

The moment I cried out wanting to get away from my exhausting life, I opened my eyes in the body of some Count’s 20-year-old daughter.

Since this happened, I decided to live my life freely as a single woman.

But…

“I need a lady to act as my fake wife for a certain period of time.”

“A contract marriage?”

“The term is one year. When the time is up, I’ll give you divorce with no strings attached.”

The Duke of the Empire whom I had happened to meet at a ball was hitting on me.

Turns out he’s no other than the Emperor’s beloved brother, Duke Scade!

Hold on, it’s just going to end in a clean divorce with no strings attached?

“You should also give me alimony. Give me one of the best lands of the Ducal household with 10 years’ worth of profit.”

“…..What?”

“If you don’t want to do that, then we cannot get married.”

This time I’m going to live a life taking care of the things I need first!

***

“I’ll escort you since it’s late.”

Where to? My bedroom is just around the corner.

“Tonight, I’ll do my best.”

No, I don’t need you to do that.

“Did you just look at that man?”

Excuse me, Duke, you said it’s for a limited time only, so why do you keep obsessing over me?
