Description
I was reincarnated as Rohana, a supporting character who, despite being the fiancée of the male lead, the crown prince, wishes for his happiness with the heroine and is killed by the villain. To avoid my death, I decided to become the crown prince’s true lover this time, and I thought I had twisted the original plot just like that… but… “Rohana, say hello. This is Aurelia.” One day, shortly before the wedding, a shocking event occurred. The original heroine appeared as the crown prince’s secret lover. I tried to break off the engagement and run away, but then Duke Delcliff, whom I thought was the mastermind for my death in the original story, suddenly proposed to me…? “Make a contract with me. I will divorce you.” Mentioning divorce, no less. …Can I really trust this man? ▶ A brief preview “Now that my business with you is over, has Aurelia returned?” A face that seemed to crumble stared at her. It was a face of disbelief. Then it quickly turned as cold as ice. “Rohana, Aurelia is only here temporarily.” A rough sigh escaped from Rohana’s lips. Rohana shook her head. She didn’t want to hear it. Rohana exhaled with a frown. “You and Bardi Rentworth… are truly pathetic humans.” “Rohana.” She didn’t want to hear it. “You saw me run away too…” Rohana murmured. The moment she was caught by him on the day of the coronation felt as vivid as yesterday. “Why did you have to be so mean about a subject that involved a contract marriage?” Tears fell to the floor past her chin. Memories of the kiss that felt like a burn, the fingertips, the nights that were heated even in the cold winter, all tore through her heart. At that moment, a hoarse voice rang out. “I…” How much time had passed? When Rohana lifted her head, she saw him. “You can’t imagine that I did it out of love, can you?” Rohana’s breath stopped for a moment. The sound that reached her ears slowly settled in her mind. “I…” His low voice was filled with pain like a needle. “I did it because I fell in love with you.”

My Thoughts on Contract Marriage with the Villain Who Will Kill Me
"Contract Marriage with the Villain Who Will Kill Me" had a premise that immediately hooked me: transmigration, a contract marriage, and a deadly villain? Sign me up! The European ambience tag also sweetened the deal, promising a rich and detailed world. However, after diving in, I found myself with some mixed feelings about the execution.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were promising. The female protagonist's predicament – knowing she's destined to be killed by her husband – creates immediate tension. I was eager to see how she'd navigate this dangerous situation and outsmart her villainous spouse. The early world-building was also intriguing, setting the stage for a potentially complex and engaging story.
What Works Well
The strongest point, without a doubt, is the translation quality. It's clear that the translator put a lot of effort into making the story flow smoothly and naturally. This is crucial, as poor translation can completely ruin an otherwise good story. The side characters also have compelling backstories.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the plot felt a bit shaky at times. I noticed a tendency for the main character to be shielded by plot armor, which diminished the sense of danger and stakes. There were instances where she faced serious consequences, but convenient interventions allowed her to escape unscathed. This made it difficult to fully invest in her struggles, as I always felt like she was going to be fine no matter what. The male lead also felt somewhat generic, lacking the depth and nuance that could have made him a truly compelling character. His actions sometimes seemed to exacerbate the problems rather than solve them, which made his motivations confusing.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Contract Marriage with the Villain Who Will Kill Me" has potential, but it's hampered by plot inconsistencies and somewhat underdeveloped characters. While the translation is excellent and the premise is intriguing, the story struggles to deliver on its initial promise. I'd recommend it with reservations, perhaps to readers who are primarily looking for a light and easy read with a strong female lead, but those seeking a deeply immersive and complex story might be left wanting more.
