I decided to break the ‘death flag’ of getting caught between a future disaster couple and ending up with my head on the chopping block.

After seven years as a team leader, Yoon died from overwork during an all-nighter, and dreaming of being a wealthy person of leisure, ended up possessing Luan — a villain-adjacent empress. Apparently, his fate was to be treated like a ghost by the Emperor for five years after a political marriage, neglected as the second son of an enemy house, only to die miserably in the end.
When God promised that if Luanisiel were kept alive, he would be given a windfall of restful peace, Yoon stamped his name on the contract without a second glance.
And so, in order to survive, he began preparing the perfect retirement fund (alimony) and his resignation (divorce)….
“Congratulations. The two of you have been diagnosed with a recovery probability of ‘Very High.’ I will support you every step of the way until the flames of your love reignite!”
For some reason, a recovery probability of ‘Very High’ came up, and apparently, they were required to undergo a divorce contemplation period. Six months, with one regular counseling session per month? On top of that, he had even been moved into the main palace.
“……What is this?”
“It’s the empress’s duties.”
Since when did that ever exist? No — it existed, but since when was he the one being assigned to it? As Luan stared intently at Kirian, the corner of Kirian’s mouth curled upward.
“Things that piled up over the vacancy of the past few years.”
And whose fault was it that the position was vacant? It was an utterly shameless thing to say. Luan responded calmly.
“I am someone who will soon be divorced.”
“Until the divorce, you’re still the empress. Shouldn’t you earn your keep?”
Kirian smiled wickedly.
