I Ended Up Winning The Bid For The Duke
By 팡두두
Description
One day, while Sienna was getting worn out from her doctoral studies, she participated in an auction aiming for a rare magical plant. Somehow, she ends up winning the bid for a Duke who is bound in restraints. Due to a magical contract, the two people are forced to live in the same room for fifteen days. And the condition that the mate must comply with the winner’s requests, as long as they are reasonable, becomes distorted from the moment Sienna’s ‘stress-relief tools’ are revealed. “I’m about to go crazy from embarrassment, okay? So, I’m very frustrated. I want you to feel as embarrassed as I do, Duke!” An illogical and unreasonable demand. Yet, Eden had no choice but to comply. “Well then, do as you wish.” * * * “Then, is the magical contract now broken?” “No. It doesn’t seem to be broken yet. I can still feel the magic of the contract.” After overcoming various obstacles, they managed to get through the critical point, but the effects of the contract still linger. However— “…So there’s no choice but to try it one more time.” Eden’s subtly changing attitude and Sienna, who intended to write it off nicely and send him back, but keeps revealing her mischievous nature. Can the two safely spend the fifteen days together?

My Thoughts on I Ended Up Winning The Bid For The Duke
"I Ended Up Winning The Bid For The Duke" definitely caught my eye with its quirky title, and after diving in, I can see why it's generating some buzz. It's a blend of comedy, fantasy, and romance with a dash of spice, and the female protagonist is definitely a driving force in making this story stand out.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably unique. Our FL, a brilliant academic and apothecary, ends up bidding on a duke at a rather unusual "fanmeet" auction orchestrated by the emperor. The reason? Her brother, a major fanboy, convinces her to do it, then promptly disappears, leaving her to deal with the consequences. Honestly, the initial setup is pure comedic gold, and I was immediately hooked.
What Works Well
The dynamic between the FL and ML is what truly shines. The duke, initially weirded out by his situation (being "won" as a prize), slowly warms up to the FL as she utilizes his strong magical abilities for her experiments. It's a fun twist on the typical romance trope, and I appreciate how the story doesn't shy away from the absurdity of it all. The FL's no-nonsense attitude and the ML's gradual acceptance of his new reality create a delightful push-and-pull that keeps you invested. The story has a lighthearted feel to it, with funny situations and witty banter.
Areas of Concern
While the story is entertaining, I can see how some might find the initial premise a bit problematic, given the "s*ave" tag. I think the story does a decent job of navigating this by ensuring the ML retains his agency and can refuse requests, but it's something to be aware of going in.
Final Verdict
Overall, "I Ended Up Winning The Bid For The Duke" is a fun and engaging read. If you're looking for a lighthearted fantasy romance with a strong female lead and a healthy dose of humor, this might be right up your alley. Just be mindful of the initial premise and the tags associated with it. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes.
