I Swore Off Marriage, but the Tyrant Won’t Let Me Go [Novel]

After being stripped of her home and fortune by her husband, she was divorced.

She thought her miserable life had ended after being shot, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself one year before her marriage to her ex-husband.

“I’ll never be fooled by love and become an idiot again.”

To protect her family from her ex-husband, and to stand on her own without relying on anyone, Lottie decides to become the first unmarried woman to inherit her family.

Her plan was perfect. After all, she was no longer the naive girl who knew nothing of the world.

But then…

“How else should I express this feeling of not wanting to lose you to another man, if not through a proposal?”

She received a marriage proposal from the one man she should never get involved with.

Calix—the tyrant who not only stole the throne from her ex-husband, but also shot and killed her.

“A-and I’m an idiot! Without my father, I’m a fool who can’t do anything on her own. And… and I also really love drinking!”

“If you are an idiot and a drunkard, then I need only become a fool and a drunkard as well.”

She needs to escape from the man who will one day kill her, but this man is far too sweet.

Why is Calix, who couldn’t possibly be sincere, so obsessed with marriage?

Will Lottie be able to safely protect her vow of staying unmarried and defend her family from this sweet yet dangerous man?
