Description
“Someone who knows me well enough that I can use them well without feel any guilt, and that’s you.” With that bullshit, he proposed a two-year contract marriage: a poor estate, heavy responsibilities, and an uncertain future. Considering all that, wasn’t it actually a grateful piece of bullshit? So, Renee willingly became the contract wife of her damned first love. It was about two years ago. “No, I don’t need an extension. Why bother for someone who’s starting anew?” With a twisted smirk of disbelief, Alexander quietly looked up at the sky. A new start…… He was muttering as if he was thinking over the words she said and asked back in an unpleasant voice. “What are you going to do after divorce?” “Now I want to live the way I want to. Go on trips and have passionate relationships. ah!” Renee, who was looking at Alexander’s frowning brow, laughed nervously and added, “I also want to try some wild nights in bed, something I never did with my fake husband.” To truly face each other, it was something they absolutely had to go through.

My Thoughts on The End of a Fake Marriage
First Impressions
"The End of a Fake Marriage" definitely piqued my interest with its premise: childhood friends entangled in a contract marriage, with a touch of fantasy thrown in. The "rebirth" element, or rather, the characters experiencing déjà vu and glimpses of a potential future, adds a unique layer that sets it apart from your typical marriage-of-convenience story. I was ready for a drama-filled romance with a European backdrop, and the initial chapters delivered just that.
What Works Well
What I particularly enjoyed was the focus on character growth, even if it's a slow burn. The female and male leads aren't perfect; they have flaws, insecurities, and communication issues that feel realistic. The author doesn't shy away from showcasing these imperfections, which makes their journey towards understanding and loving each other all the more compelling. The hints of a past timeline, revealed through unsettling déjà vu, create a constant sense of tension and anticipation. It's a clever way to keep the reader invested in how the characters will navigate their relationship and potentially change their "fate."
Areas of Concern
However, the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times. While the slow burn allows for character development, it also means that the central conflict – the fake marriage and its potential pitfalls – sometimes takes a backseat. I also found myself wishing for more clarity regarding the "rebirth" aspect. While the déjà vu moments are intriguing, the rules and limitations of this phenomenon aren't always clear, which can lead to some confusion. I was left wanting a deeper dive into the mechanics of the characters' ability to sense the future so I could understand why they were having that experience.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The End of a Fake Marriage" is a promising read with a unique take on the contract marriage trope. While it has its flaws, particularly in pacing and clarity regarding the fantasy elements, the focus on character growth and the intriguing "rebirth" premise make it a worthwhile investment for those who enjoy slow-burn romances with a touch of drama and intrigue. I'm curious to see how the story unfolds and whether the characters can truly break free from their predetermined "fate." I would recommend this for those who enjoy a complicated relationship with a touch of fantasy.
