This Emperor Pulls a Marriage Scam
She died while repaying her father’s debts, and when she opened her eyes again, she had possessed an extra character in a novel. All she has is one abandoned seaside shack…… ‘I never expected the side job I used to do—collecting shellfish at low tide—to come in handy here too.’ The tidal flats? That’s my specialty. Let me give it a try. While planning to live well on her own, she accidentally comes across a kidnapping scene and rescues Baron, a seven-year-old orphan. “Do I really get to go to an orphanage?” “…….” How could she ignore those pretty purple eyes? She can’t. After living together, Baron turns out to be extremely affectionate. “Noona, I’m strong.” “Can you carry me? Kiss me goodnight before I sleep too.” “Noona, it’s thundering outside. I’m scared. Hug me.” With that adorable face acting spoiled all the time, there’s no way she could not love him. She cherished him and raised him with great care, but one day the boy brought her a marriage registration form. “I want to marry noona!” Was this the version of “I want to marry Mom” that mothers go through at some stage? She firmly rejected the absurd idea, but Baron began throwing a child’s characteristic tantrum. “I love noona! I’m going to marry you! If you won’t marry me, I won’t eat!” ……If he won’t eat, what can she do? She has to feed the child. So she signed the marriage registration form. “If you still haven’t changed your mind when you grow up, write your name here then. Okay?” “Okay, noona. I’ll grow up fast and come get you.” “Sure, sure.” Back then, she thought there was no way this marriage registration would ever be filed. Minors’ documents wouldn’t even be accepted by the court, and this kid still had more than ten years before becoming an adult. Ah, she never knew it was a scam!
