PLOT

❝ I Tried to Protect My Husband’s First Night❞

“I’ve held back for far too long, my lady.”
※ This work is a 15+ version of the original 19+ novel. ※

I was reincarnated as the worst kind of villainess in a dark, rated-19 novel—
Edith Sertia, who blackmails the male lead into marriage using a child, commits all kinds of wicked deeds, and then dies miserably.

But I had no intention of living that kind of life.
I don’t want to hurt others, bear an unwanted child, or follow a doomed path.

However, by the time I regained my past life memories,
my father had already set every scheme in motion to tie me to the male lead.

So I made a proposal to that man—
the original male lead and the infamous “beastly duke,” Denoq Luciano:
a one-year contract marriage.

I would escape my father’s control and avoid the original tragic ending.
He would be freed from his madness and enjoy peaceful nights.

After a year, I planned to disappear to a place where no one knew me.
Until then…

“I’ll protect your first night.”

But clearly…

there was something wrong with our contract.

“I’ve wanted you like this for a long time.”
“D-Denoq…”
“It would be better if you just went crazy like this.”

So that he could remain by my side—
consuming only the affection I give him.

“I want to ruin you.”

His low, husky voice slipped into my ear…
as if he’d never let me run away.
