Married to the Demon Duke

astridmoon
As the Remington family teetered on the precipice of financial ruin, weighed down by the Marquess's colossal debts to the formidable Grand Duke Atticus Ravenswood, a chilling proposition emerged. In a desperate attempt to alleviate his burden, the Marquess offered his delicate daughter, Blanche Remington, as a means of appeasement. However, the intricate web of aristocratic ambition extended far beyond this transaction. Grand Duke Ravenswood, driven by his own desires, orchestrated the demise of his wife, intending to secure his future through a strategic remarriage to the captivating Lady Ophelia Breckenbridge. Yet, Ophelia, already the object of fervent admiration from the handsome Crown Prince Iain Barnes, would ultimately reject the Grand Duke's suit, choosing instead to unite her life with the Crown Prince. Consumed by unrequited longing, the Grand Duke would eventually meet his end in a desperate, ill-fated attempt to claim Ophelia as his own. This dramatic tapestry of love, ambition, and tragedy formed the beloved narrative of thirty-two-year-old South Korean worker Yujin Park's favorite novel. However, fate took a cruel and unexpected turn when Yujin's life was tragically cut short during her walk home. In a bewildering twist of destiny, she awoke to find herself inhabiting the very world she had only read about, reincarnated as Blanche Remington a mere year before the character's demise. Now faced with the daunting reality of her fictional fate, Yujin recognized the urgent need for self-preservation: a divorce from the powerful Grand Duke. Yet, a perplexing obstacle arose. Despite his apparent indifference, the Grand Duke refused to grant her freedom. Bewilderment clouded Yujin's thoughts as she grappled with this unexpected resistance. Why would a man who seemingly held no affection for Blanche deny her a separation? What intricate machinations lay hidden beneath the surface of this familiar yet suddenly alien world?

Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō

In the Central 46 Compound, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and the notorious scourge of the Female Shinigami Association, Masatsuki Aozaki, stood before the Sages and Judges. “You have improper relationships with numerous members, Seated Officers, and Captains of the Seireitei?” “As Captain-Commander, maintaining close relationships with them helps facilitate my work.” “...” The Judge narrowed his eyes. “Then how do you explain modifying the female Shinigami's Shihakushō into miniskirts?” “To transform the Seireitei into a perfect paradise.” “Tsk tsk… A paradise for all Shinigami? That’s not entirely unreasonable…” “No, a personal paradise.” “A private—wait! Captain-Commander Masatsuki, that kind of thinking is clearly wrong!” “Do you want to die?” “...” “Forget it, Captain-Commander Masatsuki. We’ll set this matter aside for now. Let’s discuss some of the outrageous statements you’ve made in the past. Those were jokes, right?” “No, I was completely serious.” Masatsuki calmly ran his hand along the hilt of his Zanpakutō and spoke with conviction. “I have a great relationship with my subordinates, I get along well with Hueco Mundo, and I’m even friends with all of your wives and girlfriends. But rest assured, I’m a good Shinigami. You can safely leave the world in my hands!” Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto: That damn brat! Shunsui, Jūshirō, don’t stop me—I need to teach him a lesson! Thus begins the tale of the most incorrigible Shinigami!
