I Became the Saintess’s Contract Mother

“Now that we’re husband and wife, we’ll have to consummate our marriage tonight. Don’t worry—I can get aroused by you.” Ilya Marvel is known as the “poisonous woman who seduces men.” Because of her breathtaking beauty, scandalous rumors have followed her wherever she goes. She is even suspected of having an inappropriate relationship with her uncle, the man her mother remarried. Desperate to leave her family home as soon as possible, Ilya begins searching for work. Luckily, she finds a position as a private tutor at the royal palace. However, the child she is expected to care for turns out to be Marianne, a six-month-old baby—and the kingdom’s saintess. The true nature of the job is for Ilya to act as Marianne’s mother until the young saintess reaches adulthood. This also means entering into a contract marriage with Marianne’s father, Clive, the kingdom’s chancellor. Thus begins a romantic fantasy comedy between Ilya, a woman whose life has always been shaped by her extraordinary beauty, and the stern, emotionally detached Clive, a man who has never taken an interest in anyone else.
