But to the Duke, she was nothing but a tool. Sally resented him and ended her life painfully. When she opened her eyes again, she was back as a 16-year-old maid. In order to avoid her future meeting with him, Sally decides to live as her shabby maid! But this time, Sarah, the young lady Sally is serving, was chosen as Duke Esteban’s mistress! “I’ll meet the Duke of Esteban instead of you, my lady.” Unable to push Sarah, who is like a family member, into an unwanted path, Sally accepts the fate of meeting him again. But she won’t be as unhappy as she was in the past. Because she didn’t love him any more. And the reason why the Duke, which I learned later, chose a woman of low status as his mistress is… “The reason I need a fake mistress is to divorce a woman named as my wife.” “Since it is a fake relationship, we won’t ever sleep together, right?” “Of course, there will never be anything like that between us. Never.” But contrary to his assurance, Duke Esteban gradually falls for Sally. Sally, who became the Duke’s contract (fake) mistress, takes over high society! Why It Should Get Picked Up: The female lead was a maid that loved the male lead ever since she saw him in a party, and when they entered a contract relationship was really happy, but she was just a tool and was used.in the end she killed herself and was regressed back to age 16 and didn’t want to become a fake girlfriend again, but in the end entered a contract relationship with him again but this time was different as she did not love him anymore and it was just a loveless contract and she, a commoner maid could have a luxurious life without caring about the Duke. The reason the male lead wanted a fake girlfriend was to divorce his wife (yes he was married). the male lead was always admired by woman because of his title and face so he disliked woman, and his marriage with his wife was a arranged one and he couldn’t just divorce her because of her position and etc so he needed a fake girlfriend to bring in as concubine. But later he falls for the heroine. This is a long novel (202 chapters in total) but I wish it gets the fan translation it needs one day
