They're All Ex-Husbands, So Let's Talk This Out

(Told in third person.)

After transmigrating, I only wanted to be a decent person. I never meant to deceive that powerful law enforcer.

But he wants to kill me, unless I can bring him the ruby stolen by the notorious privateer.

So I have no choice but to lie and tell him I can do it, and that I'm the privateer's secret fiancee, while searching for the infamous, bloodthirsty privateer I've never even met.

I never meant to deceive this unruly privateer, but he won't even see me before deciding to throw me to the bugs.

So I have no choice but to tell him I'm the first love his own younger brother could never have, and that if he kills me, his brother, a specialist in virus research, will turn against him and destroy the world for my sake!

I never meant to deceive that young nobleman who was obsessed with playing around with viruses, but he threatens me with a knowing smile, ordering me to cooperate with his virus experiments or he'll expose my clumsy lies.

Just then, the silver-armored firepower of the Federation general is blasting the lab apart. I have no choice but to flee for my life and find the cold, heartless general, telling him I've admired him for years and have finally found where my heart belongs.

In the end, I successfully return to the law enforcer with the hard-won ruby.

He takes the ruby, kneels before me, and asks me to marry him.

On our wedding day, the chapel is blasted to pieces from three directions. The men who once looked down on me with arrogant disdain walk up to me with red-rimmed eyes, asking why I left them.

I look at the law enforcer's handsome face, his brow slightly furrowed, and calmly, at lightning speed, ask for a divorce.

Then I take a deep breath.

"You're all ex-husbands now. Let's talk this out like adults."

Tips:

※ Includes melodramatic tropes such as brothers turning against each other, friends becoming enemies, regretful groveling, and faking one's death.

※ One-on-one relationships at each stage, with different endings.

※ The heroine is a love con artist from beginning to end, but has a strong sense of morality. If you require the heroine's feelings to be completely sincere, this isn't for you.

※ Since the relationships are one-on-one at each stage, this isn't for readers who require the heroine to be sexually inexperienced.

※ If all of that sounds fine, I hope you enjoy reading.
