Contract Marriage : Detective Novelist Falls into the Past

What would be your reaction if one day you wake up and find yourself in a completely different era, a completely different country and in the body of a person who looked just like you?? Alexis's life was going pretty normally until she finds herself transmigrated to the body of a girl who looked just like her and most importantly, the girl seemed to live a thousand years ago. And as if waking up as someone else was not enough, she finds herself betrothed to a man of whom she knew nothing. But his hazel eyes kept drawing her close to him and always seemed to offer a sense of familiarity. Since she didn't believe in love and there was no way she could get herself out of the marriage, she proposes a contract marriage with her would-be husband, which he readily accepts for his own reasons and out of curiosity to know what the woman who looked so simple yet mysterious was up to. Having lost her mother at a young age and a miserable childhood prompted her to steel her heart and stay a mile away from the matters of the heart. While looking around the next few days, she realizes that the place she seemed to have been transmigrated into was not as serene as it looked. A seemingly peaceful place was going to be the victim of one of the most treacherous schemes made by one greedy and vengeful man. But it seemed like this was just the tip of the ice berg. Days after her wedding, she finds that her biological father is working as the right hand man of this man and is helping him conspire against the royal family. ------------------------------------------------------------------ "The first clause states that no physical contact will be allowed without the consent of the other person, unless there is a life threatening situation.", she read out the first clause.

"Kissing my wife...", the man replied nonchalantly as he placed soft kisses on her slender neck. "You are breaching the contract!!" "The contract states that a life threatening situation is the exception. And now my heart his going to explode because of your beauty... So let me kiss you to save my life, wifey!!" With that said, without even giving her a chance to retort, he sealed her lips with his own. "...." Was this the same man who would turn red on being complemented by her. Since when did he become this shameless?? How come she never noticed it?? And before she knew it, she was kissing him back with the same intensity. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Seeing multiple schemes being made to harm the royal family, to which she was married into, how will Alexis protect everyone??
