My elder sister, Emma Rothschild, longs for a life of luxury. As such, she requests to marry the prince of Northia, Matias Redburn. On the other hand, I'm married off to an elven scholar visiting human territory, Aleron Glintwood. After the wedding with Emma, Matias leaves Northia and visits the giant clan's territory to establish a trade route. He's never heard of again. Meanwhile, I accompany Aleron to Empiria. He obtains a teaching position at the Royal Academy of Magic by virtue of his elven talent for magic. As for me, I become a highly envied professor's wife. Emma continues to live alone in the Northian Frozen Plains. She's later discovered to be having an affair with a human knight. When the Draconian Council of Elders exiles her from their lands, our father—Gareth Rothschild—furiously declares that he's severing ties with her. She's thus forever cut off from the Rothschild family. While I'm on my way home for the festival, Emma forcibly stops my carriage. She begs me to take her home and put in a good word for her. Along the way, she suddenly grabs the reins. As a result, the carriage goes out of control and tumbles over a cliff. When I regain consciousness, I see Emma on the floor. She's crying and demanding a change in engagement plans. At that moment, I realize that she's also been reborn. However, Emma doesn't know that life with the elves isn't as wonderful as she imagines. I immediately begin preparing for the magic academy's entrance exam. This time, I'll spare no effort to be admitted into the academy myself.

"Kau harus tanggung jawab! Jika aku hamil bagaimana?" Gertak Gera pada Roy. Roy memicingkan mata pekatnya. "Kau tidak akan hamil hanya karena kugagahi semalam saja. Lagipula, kau yang memintaku untuk melakukan itu. Apa kau lupa bagaimana kau mengemis padaku? Dasar aneh!" Timpal Roy tak mau kalah. Tipikal seperti Roy memang tidak mau kalah dalam hal apapun. Terlebih, dia adalah seorang yang terpandang. Sementara Gera, ia terisak sambil menghentakkan kaki mungilnya. Ia sangat menyesal telah melakukan itu semua. Jika saja Adit tidak menaruh obat sialan itu, ini semua tidak akan terjadi."Adit nggak waras! Tega banget dia naruh obat perangsang." Gerutu Gera kesal. "Percuma kau menyalahkan orang. Sudah terjadi. Makanya, jadi wanita jangan ceroboh! Kau memang bodoh!" Roy tak henti-hentinya menyakiti hati Gera dengan perkataannya. Gera melirik tajam Roy. Ia sudah tak tahan mendengar ocehan menyakitkan dari bibir Roy yang sialnya membuat Gera berpikir liar dan mengingat malam itu. "Jangan khawatir, Nona ceroboh! Jika kau memang hamil, aku akan mencarimu sendiri." Ujar Roy lalu berlalu meninggalkan Gera. "Dasar laki-laki aneh! Enyah saja kau!" Teriak Gera. Kini ia sendiri hanya bisa termenung meratapi nasibnya. Ia bingung, akan seperti apa hidupnya jikalau dia hamil tanpa suami. Disamping keputusasaan Gera,Roy tersenyum girang. Tanpa diketahui, Roy sudah merencanakan banyak hal untuk Gera dan dirinya. Apakah Gera dan Roy akan bersama atau malah sebaliknya?

“Jangan kasar-kasar sama calon suami” “Bapak tuh bisa nggak sih, mulutnya jangan asal mengklaim orang” “Kenapa sih kamu kesal banget saya bilang calon istri?” “Ya karena saya bukan calon istri bapak” Ayyana memberikan penekanan disetiap ucapannya “Nanti malam saya lamar kalau gitu” “Nggak usah aneh-aneh” Ayyana memijat pelipisnya, lama-lama ia bisa darah tinggi jika terus berhadapan dengan Fakhri “Sesuai kesepakatan, saya udah makan siang sama bapak. Urusan mobil, tinggal kirim nomor rekening, nanti saya transfer” Ucap Ayyana “So please, jangan ganggu saya lagi. Jangan recokin hidup saya lagi, jauh-jauh dari saya” Lanjutnya melangkah menjauh “Kalau Mami kangen pengen ketemu calon mantunya gimana?” Ucap Fakhri setengah berteriak namun Ayyana tak berniat lagi menanggapi Perempuan itu melajukan mobilnya meninggalkan halaman dengan raut wajah dongkol setengah mati, sementara Fakhri tersenyum geli memilih melakukan hal yang sama, beranjak kembali menuju kantor untuk menyelesaikan beberapa pekerjaan yang terpaksa harus ia tinggal demi memenuhi janji makan siangnya pada Ayyana yang malah menyita waktu lumayan panjang Tapi ia tak keberatan bahkan rasanya menyenangkan melihat Ayyana meleparkan tatapan tajam padanya setiap kali Fakhri berhasil membuatnya kesal Mungkin Maminya tidak salah mengenalkan mereka, karna nyatanya Ayyana memiliki daya tarik tersendiri bagi Fakhri. Entahlah, tapi ia bahkan meragukan sendiri ucapannya saat menyebut Ayyana sebagai calon istri Perempuan itu terlalu baik untuk ia jadikan tumbal untuk kembali bertemu Jihan. Fakhri masih waras untuk tidak menarik adik sahabatnya itu dalam kubangan lumpur yang ia diami selama ini

Five years ago, my junior made a mistake in the experiment, resulting in an explosion in the lab. In an effort to save my childhood friend, Andrew, I suffered severe burns to one side of my face and was falsely accused as the culprit. Just like that, I became the target of everyone's anger. Only Andrew stood by me, promising, "I love you for who you are, not your appearance. I'll always be there to protect you." But on our wedding day, he vanished without a trace. My mother, suffering from heart disease and barely clinging to life, wanted to see Andrew. When I asked him to come, he replied impatiently, "Are you using such a lame excuse to meet me? Don't you have any shame? Every time I look at your face, I feel disgusting." I pleaded desperately, but he calmly hung up. "Do you think I'm your servant? You can't just summon me whenever you want. Just because you saved me once doesn't mean you can blackmail me for life." My mother died without peace. The junior who slandered me back then later posted a photo on social media, showing a man lifting her effortlessly. Their poses were intimate, highlighting the underlying affection. Her captions read: [It's all his fault for tiring me out during the day. I almost missed out on this beautiful ocean. When you're in love, all is clear to see. I mentioned wanting to go to Belmar Island, and he flew me around the world for it.] I was utterly heartbroken, so I texted him: [Let's break up…]
