An accidental meeting between Faye Marielle and the CEO of GLW Company brought a hot scandal to the woman who works as a model. The two were caught on paparazzi cameras making out in front of the hotel room, and caused a scandal between the CEO and the rising model. Faye received a claim for compensation from the party who collaborated with the woman, because she thought Faye had leaked information about their work to the GLW Company. Alard, who also needed an alibi to stop his grandfather's attempts to find a wife for Alard, finally offered a deal to Faye. “We have to pretend we are a couple,” said Alard Gem Lodewijk. "How to?" she asked. “Married,” Alard answered.

On the day I entered my contract marriage with Brian Janson, a flood of comments suddenly flashed before my eyes. [No…! The villainess is going to ruin the male lead’s purity!] [The CEO’s first time should belong to the heroine! Shameless woman, get off his waist right now!] [Are they going to do it or not? I’m on a tight schedule.] [Come on, have some loyalty to the main couple!] [If Brian knew he wouldn’t be able to give Quincy the ‘pure, untouched version’ of himself in the future, he’d probably drown in guilt.] Pure, untouched version? Sorry. I was born a villain, and making trouble is what I do best. So while Brianwas drunk, I leaned in without the slightest bit of guilt. The comments exploded again. [It’s over. They look like they’re about to get married for real!] [Am I seeing things? Did the male lead just… smile?]

Léonard m'avait aimée autrefois. Pour créer un lien du couple avec moi, il m'avait avoué son amour 99 fois. À la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième, j'avais finalement été touchée. Le jour où nous avions célébré le rituel de marquage, je lui avais offert quatre-vingt-dix-neuf cartes de pardon, avec la promesse suivante : « Je te donnerai quatre-vingt-dix-neuf chances d'être pardonné. Tant que tu ne les as pas toutes utilisées, peu importe tes fautes, je te pardonnerai toujours… Et je resterai à tes côtés. » Pendant les six années de notre lien du couple, j'avais rarement eu besoin de ces cartes. Mais depuis un an, son amie d'enfance, Julie, était revenue. Et le nombre de cartes de pardon que j'utilisais avait commencé à augmenter. Quand j'ai utilisé la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième carte, Léonard a remarqué que j'avais changé. Je ne pleurais plus. Je ne me disputais plus avec lui à cause de Julie. Je le regardais simplement, avec un visage calme, et je lui ai demandé : « Si tu vas la retrouver… Est-ce que je peux utiliser une carte de pardon ? » Léonard a hésité un instant, puis a repris son ton habituel : « D'accord. De toute façon, t'en as utilisé quoi… Une cinquantaine ? Si tu veux, utilise. » Je n'ai rien répondu. Je l'ai laissé quitter la maison. Mais il ne savait pas que c'était la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième. Il ne lui restait plus qu'une seule chance. Et une fois la dernière carte utilisée… Je le quitterais pour toujours.
