I Pretended to Be Pregnant, but My Husband Came Back
임신한 척했는데 남편이 돌아왔다Synopsis
Before the original story even begins, I’m reincarnated as a pitiful noble drowning in debt.
I manage to scrape by, selling bits of information to an underworld intelligence guild—but even that has its limits.
Then, right as the original plot is about to start, an opportunity appears.
The villainous ducal family is searching for a fake contract daughter-in-law—someone to pretend to be pregnant so they can delay declaring their missing eldest son dead.
If I take the role for just a few months, I can earn a fortune.
It was supposed to be simple.
I only planned to act like a quiet, obedient fake daughter-in-law and leave with my payment…
But somehow—
“If you stay here, I’ll give you all of Ekian’s inheritance.”
My father-in-law, the duke, has grown far too fond of me.
“Why solve everything with money? Why not adopt her and arrange a remarriage?”
My mother-in-law is already trying to rewrite the family registry entirely.
“You really married my brother, right? When he comes back… you won’t leave, will you?”
Even my future villain of a younger brother-in-law clings to me.
And in the middle of all this—
“They said after some time passes, they’ll arrange your divorce and personally find you a better match.”
“…Remarriage? You mean I’ll be married again?”
Even the information guild master I used to work with starts acting strange.
“Your husband… will probably return.”
What is he talking about? According to the original story, the duke’s eldest son never comes back.
“…E-Ekian? Is that really you?”
“You… you’ve returned? You’re really back?”
That’s impossible.
The eldest son of this house is never supposed to return.
“…Yes.”
Then who is that breathtakingly handsome man walking confidently into the ducal estate?
“I hear I’m married. Where is my wife?”
Wait… since when did I suddenly get a ridiculously handsome husband?!
