"Um, career planning?" Frigga cautiously tested the waters with a quill in hand. "Join the army? Become a black-market merchant? Open a shop by the school gate selling coffee and, as a bonus, ghostwriting term papers? Be a housewife?"
She fell silent under the increasingly grim expression of her mentor.
Three months later, Frigga obediently accepted a job arranged by Gawain: the lowest-ranked assistant lecturer, with meager pay and little chance of promotion, but at least it was a permanent position.
"I don't have time to take leave and come collect your corpse," said the person who had arranged the job for her.

Unfortunately, as Frigga was dragged into a pitch-black castle, she thought she might really need Gawain to collect her corpse this time. She was definitely going to get scolded again.
But that miserable fate never came to pass. She wasn't eaten or tortured to death. The man who had abducted her carefully hid his black horns, slipped a ring onto her finger, and announced as if it were the most natural thing in the world:
"You ate the fig I gave you. By our customs, you're my wife now."
Western fantasy romance, with a chaotic love polygon! The male leads include a Demon King, the Demon King's father, a dragon, a little prince, a general, and a mentor. One of them comes as a buy-one-get-one free deal (?). It contains a tacky NTR plot, though it's not clear who will NTR whom (?). Two of the male leads both think they're a Grand Duke. Whether the laws of marriage in the Demon Realm apply to humans is another question.
Core theme: Keep striving to survive
Delicious. I love it. Thank you, madam.
