How Long Are We Going to Keep Pretending?
The moment she lost her child, Saronne realized that she was living this dreadful life for the second time.
Her husband had treated her as nothing more than a substitute for his first love before abandoning her. His first love had murdered Saronne’s child, framed her for countless vile crimes, and tormented her relentlessly.
When all those memories returned, Saronne burst into a laugh of pure exhilaration.
Had she not been waiting for this very moment?
Even in death, she had prayed to the heavens to let her become a vengeful spirit and punish them.
Now that she had returned, there was only one thing she needed to do:
Mercilessly crush her husband and his first love—and destroy them completely.

For her revenge, Saronne chose the man who had helped her in her previous life.
Prince Leovint, known as the most handsome man in the kingdom.
Hoping to obtain the royal family’s approval for her divorce, she began pretending to be his lover. However…
“How long are we going to keep pretending? I’m a man with far more to offer than you realize.”
She had never expected him to become genuinely interested in her beyond their act.
At first, she dismissed the look in his eyes as playful teasing. But with each passing day, his gaze burned with an increasingly intense longing.
“From the moment I heard your plan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for this day.”
His cunning, seductive tail seemed to wag excitedly before her eyes.
“I’ll give you everything you desire. So date me, Saronne.”
Not as part of their act—but sincerely.
