HAEDAL

Belle isn't the classic beauty who falls in love and marries the Beast. She's a gunslinging tomboy who's out to revive her family's dying business, and love is nothing but a distraction to her. But when her father has a costly run-in with the local Beast, Belle is forced into a contract with the Beast himself in order to repay the debt. And thus, this "tale as old as time" takes a complicated twist. Despite the growing fondness the Beast has for Belle, our spitfire heroine refuses to fall in love! As outside forces begin to squeeze their way into the pair's lives, Belle and the Beast continue to clash over their views on romance. Will the two be able to close the distance between them to make it to the end of their contract?

I have been reincarnated as the "villain", Ione, in a novel famous for its complicated plot. In order to avoid the death ending and to protect my beloved son Edwin, I have entered into a contract marriage with Duke Carian until the main heroine appears. Unlike the original villain Ione, I have tried hard to be a good duchess and a kind mother to Edwin. However, when the time for the main heroine to appear finally comes, just as I was about to quietly divorce and leave the stage of the story, her fiancé says, "Ione, you can never leave me. I have fallen in love with you." "Mother! Please... don't get divorced. If you get divorced, I will follow you!" Before I knew it, the pushy duke and my adorable son had begun to interfere with the divorce...!? It was supposed to start as a contract marriage, but for some reason I can't let go - the beginning of a romance fantasy that is sure to be turbulent!
