To survive, I had to break off the engagement between the villainess and my brother’s friend—the second male lead.
That was when it all began: my clumsy attempts to push Alperen toward a breakup.
“A fortune-teller told me you’re totally incompatible with red. Especially red-haired women.”
“You actually believe that?”
“Ren oppa, bad women are useless. The best woman is kind—the one who praises you, tells you you’re amazing, and never lets go of you. Ah, and remember, don’t even look at red! Especially not red hair!”
All I wanted was to avoid my prison ending…

Eight years later.
“Rodelia, can you pretend to be my girlfriend for a while? Just until I find someone truly good, like you said.”
Was this finally the reward for all my efforts?
The man who decided to end his engagement was now asking me to act as his lover.
Of course, I planned to step aside once the original heroine appeared.
“Can I… kiss you?”
…Wait. Is this what a contract relationship is supposed to be like?
