[Cold, Abstinent Minister X Dramatic Little Widow | Devoted Couple + Sweet Romance + Falling for Her Own Scheme + Untouchable Beauty Brought Down from Her Pedestal + Forced Marriage + Regretful Pursuit]
A disastrous start! An overworked office drone dies from working overtime and transmigrates into the body of a poor farmer's daughter.
To escape a local tyrant, she puts on an Oscar-worthy performance and successfully insinuates herself into a marquis's household as a widow in name only.
Her life plan was crystal clear: freeload at the marquis's estate and be a top-tier couch potato for the rest of her life!
Who could have guessed that her late husband's uncle, the marquis, a man famously detached from worldly desires, would start looking at her differently with each passing day...
On a riverbank outside the capital.
The muddy young woman threw herself beside a corpse, wailing that she was the dead nephew's betrothed, bound to him for life.
The nephew had never shown any interest in women.
But this woman... certainly had a few tricks up her sleeve.
Very well. He would take her back to the estate first. Whether she was human or ghost, he could interrogate her behind closed doors.
At first, he thought she was a shameless liar and a consummate actress.
Later, the status of nephew's widow, the rules of propriety and morality... None of it mattered.
There was only one mad thought left in his mind:
Take her into his arms!
