Summary
“We’ll be entering a contract marriage?”
Melissa, an omega and an illegitimate child of the Rosewood County.
Her only family and the only one who was ever on her side—her mother—had passed away.
“…This is not the Count’s funeral hall.”
“I couldn’t be certain because your pheromones were too light, but it’s true. You’re an omega.”
At that point in her life, Melissa was about to become the wife of an old marquis. It was a sacrifice she had to make for the sake of her family.
However, Ian appeared in front of her and gave one final choice that she could make.
“The contract’s main stipulation is very simple. Give birth to an alpha who will become the household’s successor.”
The contract marriage that began as such was like a sweet, sweet melody.
Knowing that one’s life was about to be devoured, but nonetheless addicted to that sweetness—unable to escape.
※ This novel’s chapters are half chapters, but they’re numbered normally to make things simple. Moving forward, the TL will be posting as often as she can to compensate for the length.

The angst though. I hate the husband so much.

Idk guys… I know that it still 2 chapters long and I shouldn’t judge too early… But for now it seems to me that it’s herself who brought those shits onto her life. Damn it girl, i genuinely never like genius nor idiot FL but someone who have common sense. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/601807e7d42af68d20b32d16b4865bdd515c8c7bc50e3b04b24aa0e927814c41.jpg

Es un desgraciado, hacerle eso en el funeral de su madre.
Son este tipo de cosas por las que te preguntas como es que te puedes enamorar de alguien así. Simplemente no entiendo a los escritores.

Thank you for the chapter

Illegal cliffhanger

Hmm so the story will unfold as a flashback to the events prior to their divorce? I’m not sure if I can handle this heartwretching, slow paced story but at the same time I don’t want to stop. Thank you translator(s) for doing this novel. This one is an easy read. But good Lord, as much as our fl had a rough start. I really prayed that she’ll have a character growth after the divorce. But what really keeps me going to read this is the fact that this is tagged as yandere and obsessive love. (Slight hoping for tragedy too to the bad ppl around our fl)

Poor baby 🙁

im confused is he really in love with monica

I feel bad for Melissa and akthough im not sure how imprinting works. I now feel she should’ve not imprinted on him if sge signed a 3 year contract was fully aware he seemed to love Monica.
I feel so bad for poor Melissa
RCP03
I don’t know why other readers hate the ML so much. Both him and the FL are just using each other. It was not his fault that FL became pitiful because she still imprinted due to her love for him.
Polarly yours
That is just too cruel. Did at least in those 10 years of isolation fl get some proper education? Or did they just fed and give her place to live like a livingstock to be used one day?
Polarly yours
Gosh this hurt so good

Clingy ian

Urgh this flashback story is hurting my heart. Please I pray that after all these maltreatment with our FL she will become a strong character who will never give up without a fight. I want a character growth for her, I really do please to the future FL stand up for yourself and stay strong.
Polarly yours
Why i can somehow relate to this
nona
I guess in the title, the one who imprints is Ian
Polarly yours
Nah why would she help other when no one helped her… she’ll get hella jealouse
garam_
So why did she imprint on him?? Urgh fast forward to present pls. I want to know about the present Melissa and Ian. When does the Male yandere tag show up?
Thy Name
Yes yes girl now is the time to sing like a canary.
the_morrighan
The fact that he’s talking about his family with Monica, meaning the child he will TAKE from Melissa, has already wildly pissed me off. This is one of those worlds that is just too stupid to ever actually exist.
Elisabete
Right?
Thy Name
Well at least her food situation is resolved, heads will roll yes?
garam_
The fact that she enjoys her light soup so much is beyond me. The maltreatment she has been through since she’s been in the County up until the Duke’s residence is awfully heartwretching. No wonder she feels so much for the stone like Duke. The first Alpha and probably the last one she’ll ever have.
P.S I really pray that after all these flashbacks our FL will come back stronger, healthier and might develop some elemental powers like her mother. IDK I am delulu but I badly want a character growth for FL and tragedy to the ML.

Melissa is too fragile… i cant blame her tho, her fate is just cruel
the_morrighan
Considering the trouble Ian keeps going to to put guards on her, it is very tiresome to see her wandering away from them all the time. But I guess no drama would happen otherwise.
garam_
I wonder why was her mother so adamant in hiding the FL (aside from being found out by the Count) I can’t help but wonder that her mother isn’t an ordinary one, also is she really the count’s daughter?

it will be answered in the future! still a bit far tho, but it’s a plot point~

will be explained in the next chapter XD

This is soo heartbreaking, neither one is in their right minds driven by instinct and lust. This feel omnious, why do I get the feeling another hurdle awaits for our FL ( ＴДＴ)

When does she leave???
ak.war.g
Honestly, at this point, I just want her to leave him and to never come back again.
Even if he comes back crawling. Like, why does she have to suffer this much because of this excuse for a man
Débora Bernardo
Ian. Te desejo sofrimento eterno, simples !
Twillight
Ikr it's literally like bro ur parents ended up like that because of your father's antics , that's the whole reason for your family's messes. Now u r repeating the same and creating the mess not only for urself and ur wife but also for ur child he'll also grow with mommy issuesI genuinely hope u suffer way more than she does
The Silent Fan
Its actually hilarious that ML even had the audacity to tell his father that he wont let it end up the same way lol.
arrogant
Twillight
Doode pick a side decide what you want
Twillight
Ikr cause it's so annoying, like from the texts inam guessing it to be Monica that beta bitch niece of mel like bro why u let ur child be surrounded by a woman whom u were suspicious about poisoning your pregnant wife and indirectly the same child that u r exposing to her while strictly monitoring his time with his biological mother (like the one who supposedly poisoned * cough * cough * your precious omega like doode , ik his logic was flawed even before but now it doesn't even make sense like little bit of sense not like it did that time either but this?? This is far worse
nona
Ugh this is so frustrating. I hope he will be on his knees begging for Melissa to take him back later
nona
I dont know how this will end. I think this is only the middle of the story though. Anyone have spoilers?
kim nana
Oh god Thank you for translating this amazing chapter, now i have reached the chapter I have been waiting for so long

I want to read all the chapters right now but I'm too poor to pay T^T, I have to wait like a loser,
Douglas Rafael
Meu deusssss finalmente esse reencontro, cadê a continuação
Thy Name
Oh I thought she was going to slap Monica too lol that was awesome, I need moreeeee
The Silent Fan
trash family hope they rot.
Douglas Rafael
Esperei tanto por isso, vai lá mel, faz ele comer o pão q o diabo amassou
The Silent Fan
they treat her like shit because the bitch monica has them all wrapped around her fingers.
and its even worse because aplha's have made omegas to be lesser than garbage hence why betas treat them like that
The Silent Fan
which is crazy considering how cold they treated her it seems in the first couple chapters before this long flashback
The Silent Fan
ML's dad deserves to suffer the piece of sh!t.
The Silent Fan
well different till you kick her out of the duchy right as three years are up and realizing she imprinted on you HA.
no differnt.
The Silent Fan
Well look at that.
Different huh? Ian, you are just like your father lol.
different.
yeah…….right.,,,
The Silent Fan
seems it goes up to 176, and probably not over yet
The Silent Fan
of course they were planning to kill her.
and with ian being a little baby didnt even think of it.
piece of crap.
now enjoy your beta wh)re you rotten turd
The Silent Fan
so he did imprint first.
well too late now you little pest.
enjoy your beta wh/re
The Silent Fan
okay i think im starting to understand some stuff.
melissa's mom tried damaging the pheromone glands to force her into becoming a mage?
and when it probably didnt work, it at least made her pheromones less noticeable and makes it seems she was recessive.
she made the choker(or was it necklace?) to further suppress them.
Maybe her mom the whole time was also planning on killing the crappy alpha and when he finally came she acted like she was under it, got his guard down then killed him and herself.
And maybe becoming a wizard/unlocking magic effectively breaks the imprinting which is why Mel went from depressed to fine in a few days?
Ian gonna suffer rightfully so.
Good.
Mel deserves the world and im glade the magic tower is supportive and even the new child that shes going to have(curious when they did the deed since ian has basically turned into a sh!tter during this point)
The Silent Fan
regret starts around 145-150 area.
and good thing becauseMelissa nearly dies but awakens as a mage possibly breaking the imprinting nonsense and happy with the magic tower peeps who saved her and Ian is depresso and stabs himself.
Its glorious.

So her mother harmed her/covered information that could have helped her protect herself because she hated that her daughter was an omega? T_T let's hope she did not know about the tower…

only thing he could do i guess is just put everything in his sons name, name mel the guardian and then just get himself killed fighting a monster

How long will it be before they meet again?

Another engrossing novel. Very well written. Finally it was pleasing to see the ML bearing the agony of loosing the ML in chapter 147. I wish she never goes back to him and at the most, to drive the nail into his heart, make Pedro her love interest. He seems to be the ideal mate for her.
skyunlimited
The half chapters are a frustrating read as they are very short.
Wangfie
II'm Sooooooooooo glad. Finally

Todo sofrimento pro Ian é pouco!!!! Muito feliz que ela tá na torre mas e o diers? o coitado não tá sendo cuidado nem pelo pai e nem pela mãe… espero que ela tenha mais contato com ele no futuro.

I finally found the novel on RIDI site. At least one can read single chapter free every 24 hrs. Another thing I found that the chapter number here does not coincide the chapter number on the site. The translation here(ch-151) is the latter half of 91st chapter and early half of 92nd chapter of the original novel. The original novel has total 150 chapters where the main story ends on 146th chapter and the remaining 4 chapters are titled as epilogue special edition. But for those who have the patience to wait, then bellareservoir is a good place to get english translation and the RIDI site has it in korean language and also needs adult verification
Lunab Mitron
This piece of shit he cant even die peacefully and this omg so pathetic I just hope she hears about it and just asks him if u tried to die then why are you standing in front of me?? Alive tch!!! Can't do a shit right can ya Ian u couldn't do the relationship properly and u couldn't even die when u tried to?? What's the use of all these titles. All I hope for is my diers doens't have the same uselessness as you have
bayonnettar
enquanto o diers fica com Deus kkk que pais hein

Keh. A little too sorry, a little too late.
bayonnettar
ele culpando os outros (com razão) mas não lembrando que o grande DESGRAÇADO foi ele mesmo AAAAAAAAA
ZOI
Is she stupid or stupid why would she trust nicola a woman who abused her own son for her interests or even going as far as going to a mansion she doesn't know anything about while pregnant
ZOI
Same
ZOI
In this world omegas seemed to be exclusively women since they're being used and thrown like baby making machine they're killing themselves so they don't suffer from imprint
ZOI
It getting dragged can we move on the next plot twist
ZOI
It's going to be interesting now
ZOI
That was about to be my exact same reply
ZOI
Bitch you imprinted long ago so why were you running away moreover he seemed to have no idea the agony he put her through never expressing any intention of just "temporary stay"
Lunab Mitron
Okay the father is even worse and I have said it what I've said I don't like him and his son is also trash…………………well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Lunab Mitron
Ab pachtaye se hoye ka jab chidiya chug gyi khet
Lunab Mitron
I genuinely hope ian dies like literally but his father dies tortured that's all I hope for(I have some true beef with his father like his actions don't make sense at all like at alllllll)
Lunab Mitron
Also am I the only one who thinks of those what ifs??? Like what if he didn't have imprinted on her than wouldn't he have acted like his father or maybe even worse cause his father atleast let nicola live on the estate even after she hurt ian but ian sent mel even after witnessing her care for dia. Like idk whom should I be more infuriated on cause even his father in the last or last to last chapter said smth like nicola it's our fault he turned out like that( in my mind I was like nope it's not her fault it's mainly your fault for agonizing her to the point where she would hurt her own child with the side effects of imprint when she clearly told u that she imprinted on you and u on the note of respecting her feelings or atleast making her feel appreciated you withdrew from her for which she used ian to get your attention {truly bad and pathetic not at forgivable I'll say } though as we have seen the effects of imprint are so bad on people it's messes up their minds. Also I didn't get his reasoning of him being like get rid of your imprint nicola and I'll take u with me???? Like bitch that imprint is the damn reason she still wants to be with you and is going crazyyyyyyyy what do u mean by break the imprint either choose to bring her or not what difference not having an imprint will even make except having your pathetic principles satisfied which don't even make sense.

Having read the prologue, I know what to expect… And it makes it even harder to keep reading.

i like the way these chapters potray how desperate and downfall is Ian, meanwhile Mellisa has good times
Snow the cat
the duke is literally the reason why the whole family is a mess. really it would've been easier to just admit he loved Nicola. Nicola wouldn't have to be so desperate for crumbs of affection, their son wouldn't have to be neglected.
too late now asshole
Snow the cat
if nicola were ever reborn hope she gets someone who knows how to cherish her
Snow the cat
ian and his father are competing in The Asshole Olympics right now
Snow the cat
maybe ian should suffer as much as his father (by having her gone from him forever)
Snow the cat
melissa come here my child
Snow the cat
this is what happens when we trust men. come here my child
Snow the cat
melissa deserves a stronger alpha who's not an idiot
Snow the cat
eat dirt and choke.
Snow the cat
suffer more!
Snow the cat
sufferrrrrrrrrr
Snow the cat
you need to insult alphas once a day lmaoooo lucia best girl
Snow the cat
[[Hadn’t Alphas always been indifferent to what happened to Omegas? They had once been so cruel in leaving her to suffer, so why now, when the world seemed lost, was he acting so devastated?
Henry knew it was wrong to second-guess his master’s thoughts and intentions, but he was frustrated by his inability to understand the Duke and the former Duke’s motives.]]
henry is so real for that
Snow the cat
monica might have planned to kill melissa but just know that this whole thing is 100% your fault for not getting rid of her for good despite knowing all of her crimes and let her roam free.
seriously, after knowing she bullied melissa, and drugged him? after melissa begged him not to let her see that wench? after knowing what lewis and alex did to her?
100% your fault and you need to suffer for years
Snow the cat
look! two idiots!
Snow the cat
“…It’s all our fault, Nicola.” EXCUSE ME???? YOU MEAN YOUR FAULT
Snow the cat
not firing that head maid after what she did to melissa because she has worked for 20 years was a stupid decision in the first place. he really has room temperature IQ
Snow the cat
and this? is still not enough suffering
Snow the cat
melissa Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In Her Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
Snow the cat
what a wretched empire to treat all omegas like something to be discarded easily. i believe every omega in this wretched empire has the right to kill one alpha per day.
bayonnettar
Can anyone give me a spoiler if it will take too long for them to meet again?
Loala
I beg your finest pardon cuz the audacity to say OUR????????????
Mai Chan
Ian LOL. Rip Melissa's enemies apart? Dude, I think you're the problem.
