DESCRIPTION: I’m Selena, a daughter born to a family well-known for their fertile women. I was all but sold off in a marriage to a sickly duke whose life hung in the balance, all for the sake of producing an heir for his family. They provided me a medicine purported to aid in pregnancy, and the astrologist advised me good days for sleeping together, but... there was no child. “So, are there any signs of pregnancy?” “Ah, I-I'm sorry.” “You’re useless. What luck do you think won you the position of the duke's wife?” I couldn't say a word. ‘No, excuse me. I only have to look at the sky to pluck a star. That's how I attained this position.’ *** A husband who doesn’t like touching me in the least. But he's still pitiful so let's at least make him healthy by feeding him nutritious food, getting him to exercise, and I’ll taste test any doubtful food first personally. Once he recovers from my extensive efforts, I’ll sign an annulment paper and flee, but... “You agreed to a contract to bear me an heir. But to think you would go back on your words...” Although he’s in good health now, my “former” husband has become a bit too healthy. “You're healthy now!” “The duties of marriage are sacred. I will collect my dues.” “Wait. Wait! But we’re divorced? We’re no longer husband and wife...” He smirked then took a piece of paper from his breast pocket and tossed it to me. “We aren't divorced yet.” Huh?!

Can I just comment something totally irrelevant? How are these designs drawn. That wedding dress is gorgeous and the bow on the back. How long does it take to draw something like that. I feel like all Korean webtoonists can really make it in the fashion industry.
Right?? The details are impeccable but usually not in an overwhelming way! And also I noticed how artists give it their all when it comes to cover of novels which is understandable knowing how most of the time pretty cover sells well with the audience. they’re so cute in the promo i hope we can get spoilers soon
I read some spoilers on naver said that the plot is so slow that you could read it from chapter 90 as that's the only place where there's development as by then the talks on divorce haven't been said. The blogger said they don't know where the story is even going as there is not even an antagonist yet to push the plot, the only good thing is that there's a lot of love scenes. So far it seems like the original Selena is starting to come out, but the blogger doesn't know if she will be the villain of the novel or not. The MC is funny and a little shameless, the ML is like a cute idiot who is pretty traumatized with death and pretty sensitive and unlucky. The blogger gives it 3/5 simply for husband and the love scenes.

I just read the promo and jumped in straight for spoilers. But there ain't any! From what I read in the promo and here there is not an existence named villain so as to push the main char's love... And I am really curious about what the book she read is really about. Surely she ain't the one around whom the story revolves or maybe it is? She dies her husband is murdered...hmm...a really sad story. Nevertheless, if it happens to be adapted into a manhwa the art is gonna be so cute +spoilers +novel any good translator-sama out there please pick this up!
some one really picked it up !! here it is https://www.novelupdates.com/series/sickly-husbands-contractual-wife/
The raws can be found in kakaopage: https://page.kakao.com/search?word= 남편의 계약 아내 I don't have access to kakao sadly, but if someone can provide the raws via screenshots or any other methods I'd be down for translating.
I was interested in this, and so read some reviews to get more about this story... ( I MTL these, so take it with a grain of salt, if they are wrong.) Apparently, the story is really slow, like the part in the prologue is at chapter 60. Some of the reviewers, say to read the prologue, the first couple of chapters and then skip to chapter 60-65. In fact, they say you can read from 90 or from 87 and know the whole story...They mentioned that the love scenes were in chapter 65-67. The story was thought to be about the FL figuring out the reason behind her husband's sickness and figuring out her previous life's memories, but through the story there hasn't been a proper villain introduced, and something about a suspicious maid and that's it. Basically, it's find cause and fix disease--> divorce--> ML dotes/hangs onto FL -->FL shaken/reciprocates his love and they reunite... Here's where I found the tidbits from: https://se-vely.tistory.com/9 https://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.n...91303594&proxyReferer=https://www.google.com/
Wait a minute.. The duke has been transmigrated as well? it’s not only the MC?? plus it was the original Duke wife who poisoned him?? Does that mean she’s the one who made him sick?? Can someone please clarify??
Duke was sick before he married, original wife was framed for poisoning him after he died. From a previous spoiler what I understood is that a maid was the culprit for poisoning. But it’s not clear if it’s about previous life or this one.
Can anyone tell me how she was able to improve her husband's health? She asked her mother-in-law to take over the responsibility over her husband's health from the mother and family doctor. He was having seizures and I doubt she has any medical knowledge. Is the family doctor evil and poisoning the husband????
