Description
“The poor master doesn’t know how much this young kid wants to do in his mind.” ‘Don’t know? What don’t I know!’ Kwon Eun-sung, abandoned by his family, became a self-made elite but was falsely accused and branded as an economic criminal. He then finds himself possessing Kang Tae-won, the sub-bottom character in the BL novel “There’s a tr*sh Can Living in That Chaebol Family.” Thinking it’s a cushy job with a decent salary and only needing to take care of a young child, Lee Jae-ha, who’s destined to become the main bottom character, Tae-won (Eun-sung) decides to live this new life earnestly. 12 years later, not only has Jae-ha manifested as a dominant alpha, but he’s also pushed aside the main character to become the chaebol family’s heir. Tae-won, who’s been receiving Jae-ha’s obsession for saving him from ab*se and mistreatment, suddenly gets caught up in a shocking speeding scandal… “First, explain why I’m suddenly pregnant.” “You promised, didn’t you? That you’d take responsibility for me once, no matter what I did wrong.” It was a job with 2000% satisfaction, but he never intended to be responsible for the protagonist’s life. Especially not in the opposite position from the original work. “I’ve been waiting for a very long time to grow up. But it seems you haven’t, Master.” Of course I have. I’ve been waiting for you to grow strong enough to stand against the other Hyunseon family members. It seems I’ve been subconsciously denying the fact that the kid who once couldn’t eat alone without my help is now ready to leave the nest. “Now you’ll get married, have kids… you’ll probably forget someone like me… You’ll live well on your own without me.” As I whispered self-deprecatingly without realizing it, Jae-ha’s smooth and beautiful eyes furrowed instantly. “I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about.” Someone’s straight, white fingers touched the nape of my neck. At first, it felt like they were tracing my Adam’s apple, prominent veins, and bone structure with their fingertips, but soon those fingers were gently but firmly wrapping around my neck as if to strangle me. “You can’t go anywhere without me. I won’t let that happen.” Then, slowly, from the nape of my neck, across my chest, down to my firm abdomen and below, snake-like touches caressed various parts of my body before lightly gripping my ankle. “I wonder if I should break this to stop you from thinking about running away?”

My Thoughts on This Fraudulent Marriage is Wrong
"This Fraudulent Marriage is Wrong" certainly presents a unique premise, and diving into it was…an experience. The story revolves around a relationship that blossoms between a man and someone he essentially raised, leading to a marriage of sorts. It's a premise that demands careful handling, and my feelings are definitely mixed.
First Impressions
Initially, I felt a bit apprehensive. The age gap, coupled with the guardian-ward dynamic, raised some red flags. It’s a sensitive topic, and the early stages of the story require a level of trust that the author can navigate these complexities responsibly. I was definitely on guard, waiting to see how the relationship would unfold.
What Works Well
Despite my initial hesitations, I found myself appreciating the novel's self-awareness. The main character frequently acknowledges the unusual nature of his relationship with the male lead. This meta-commentary helped to alleviate some of my discomfort, as it showed the author was cognizant of the potential pitfalls. The humor also worked for me. It's a cheeky kind of humor that doesn't take itself too seriously, which I found to be a good counterbalance to the more potentially problematic elements. And, let's be honest, the smut is apparently well done.
Areas of Concern
The overthinking of the main character sometimes got to me. While understandable given the circumstances, it occasionally bogged down the pacing. Also, some of the side plots, such as the wealthy in-law drama and the criminal on the run, didn't particularly capture my interest. I found myself wishing the author had focused more on the central relationship and its development.

Final Verdict
"This Fraudulent Marriage is Wrong" is definitely not for everyone. If you're easily put off by age gaps, especially in the context of a guardian-ward relationship, or if you're looking for a more serious and angsty story, this might not be your cup of tea. However, if you enjoy a self-aware, humorous, and steamy romance with a touch of the unconventional, then you might find this novel surprisingly enjoyable. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, urging readers to proceed with awareness of the potentially triggering elements.
