“I need you to have an affair with me.”

To break off his forced engagement with the princess, the wealthy Duke Leopold Otero von Bern stages a perfect affair scam.

Violetta Hernandez is a fallen noble who became an affair consultant after all her previous lovers cheated on her for that very same princess. She barely manages to make a living on consultation fees from her clients. But one day, she receives a a notice to repay a massive family debt and finds herself in a desperate situation where she must urgently raise tuition for her younger brother…

“Tuition? I’ll cover your brother’s future too.”

“What about my future? Once I’m branded as a mistress, marriage is a fantasy.”

All she had ever dreamed of was a loving marriage—just enough to eat and live happily. Is becoming his “mistress” really the answer?

“I’ll make sure we don’t get caught. Just leave enough traces… something the princess will completely misunderstand.”

And so begins the affair scam. The man who promised to only pretend to cheat keeps crossing the line.

“You really think this flimsy evidence will convince anyone?”
“I came to get my money’s worth.”
“Show some sincerity, even if it means leaving a mark.”

…Looks like she's gotten tangled up with the wrong guy.
