Rate this book
“그러게 정도껏 했어야지. 엘리샤. 이런 꼴을 당하기 싫었다면.”
흔들리는 몸, 몸을 감싸안은 단단한 팔. 몽롱해지는 머리. 저도 모르게 토해지는 애끓고, 달콤한 한숨.
‘지금……. 이 상황……. 도대체 어쩌다가…….’
엘리샤는 떠올렸다. 이건 과거에 없던 일이다.
‘맞아, 그랬지.’
악마 같은 사내의 가짜 정부가 되어, 골수까지 다 뽑아 먹히고 죽는 미래. 카티에 공작 가문의 권력 분쟁에 휘말려 조각조각 나는 미래.
그 미래를 피하기 위해 엘리샤는, 전생의 주인의 숙적, 루체른에게 몸을 던졌다.

그래. 문제될 건 없었다. 이 남자가, 회귀 전에도 회귀 후에도. 제국에서 가장 유명한 미치광이라는 사실은 이미 알고 있었으니까.

*

20살의 엘리샤, 그녀는 금화 3만 개(한화 가치로 약 150억 원)의 빚을 지고 있다.

회귀 후,
그 빚 때문에 나락으로 떨어지는 인생을 피하기 위해.
그녀는 세계에서 가장 유능한 사생아. 전생의 주인의 숙적인 권력자, 루체른을 찾아간다.

“그래서 나한테 뭘 원해?”
“돈 빌려주세요. 그리고……. 당신의 부하로 삼아주세요. 제가 가진 모든 정보를 드리겠습니다.”
“내가 너의 뭘 믿고?”
“절 담보로 걸겠습니다.”

루체른은 엘리샤의 말을 듣고 그녀를 가만히 살펴보았다.

“좋아. 하지만 담보물을 어떻게 다룰지는 내가 결정해.”
“…….”
“일단 먼저, 나와 혼인해.”
“……. 네?”

엘리샤도 몰랐다. 그 정보 거래가.
혼인 계약이 될 줄은.

그래서, 엘리샤는 동침을 근거로. 그의 계약직 아내가 되었다.

Sigh. Yet another unsexy Korean webnovel. I don’t like making comparisons but none of these hold a candle to The Under the Oaktree which has its own issues but is always enjoyable. I’m going to accredit most of this to translation, but the wording is so awkward. Ex: white throat.
Elisha had a rough life before, so I understand she has some PTSD. But there are way too many lines with her crying, teary-eyed, or red eyes.

Lucerne has weirdo, aggressive vibes.

But outside of that, him having the ability to command and communicate with shadows was very interesting. The second, him having religious(?) guilt about purity was interesting. That can be an issue for some men/people trying to maintain sexual purity/abstinence/waiting for marriage, etc. I’ve seen it in real life, but I don’t think I’ve personally seen it in a story before.
I’m going to try and give this a fair assessment, so rating may change.

Elisha travels back in time and decides to destroy the House of Cartier and those that harmed her. She makes a deal with illegitimate child Lucerne. Yet, neither party can trust the other as they work towards a future.
This one is a lot of tragedy as terrible people harm themselves and others. Some of that seems poignant, some of it feels cathartic, but some of it's nonsensical. It's very hard to ship the main couple who are constantly harmful to one another. The less seriously you take this one, the more you can enjoy it (get distance from the toxicity). As a smutty fantastical revenge tale it is okay but a bit thin on world building and character development.
