The last descendant of a villainous family, that brought the empire to the brink of destruction, Evelyn Revelbritt. Despised by the empire's citizens, annually being the most voted figure who should disappear ASAP, she lives an agonising and exhausting life!However, a golden opportunity to change her life has finally arrived."What? The Ellerheim fiefdom, accompanied by the tile of Grand Duke, has been put up for auction?!"Evelyn made up her mind,"I will win this. Even if I have to die... I will take it!"However, there are specific requirements for the auction. First of all, being from a noble family. Second, having judicial authority under the Holy Temple. Third, must be recognised by the royal family after making great contributions. These are only extended to family members and spouses."In that case, the solution is simple."Employing a physically healthy, unmarried man who meets the bidding qualifications as the husband, and entering a contract marriage!Can the empire's most despised woman really hire such a husband? Of course, by offering the highest salary in the industry and generous benefits, not to mention a divorce neatly arranged for after winning the auction. Make sure to secure a substantial alimony! With this, a couple of talented people should appear, right? We warmly welcome your applications!But this was all Evelyn's misjudgment....More applicants rushed in than she expected.

I possessed the role of Civilian 1 in the 'tragic novel' I wrote with my friends as a joke. However, I was soon discovered by the female lead's father, known for endlessly doting on his daughter. The problem is... "Then, what'll happen to my daughter in this 'tragic novel'?" "...What? Ten male leads?" The father of the heroine, Duke Henstone, declared revolution in order to change his daughter's miserable fate. The thing is, if I were to run away now, I'd leave many lives in danger. "I will protect the female lead!" And that's how I began a new chapter of my life, living with the daughter-obsessed duke. But, why is the female lead acting so strange? Why do you keep hooking me up with your dad?*Note: An éminence grise or grey eminence is a powerful decision-maker or adviser who operates "behind the scenes", or in a non-public or unofficial capacity. This phrase originally referred to François Leclerc du Tremblay, the right-hand man of Cardinal Richelieu.

I have transported as civilian 1 into the “tragic novel” I wrote with my friends for fun. Since he declares revolution in order to change his daughter's unhappy future. If I leave it like this then many lives are in danger. “I will protect the female lead!” That's how I started to live with the daughter stupid duke. But the small female lead is a bit strange for some reason.
