the soulless duchess

She, Xue Fanxin, a famous medical genius in the 21st century, had transmigrated into the body of the dumb daughter of the Grand Duke. As her ugliness faded away, her stunning beauty, her dazzling radiance, shocked the world like a rising phoenix. He was Ye Jiushang, the mysterious and unfathomable Ninth Imperial Uncle. He was cold, domineering, and two-faced. On a certain day, he discovered an interesting little thing out of boredom. From then on, he began his endless pursuit of his wife. This was the alliance of the strong. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak and the strong fought for power, she swore that she would never be moved easily. However, she did not expect him to strike hard and fast into her heart time and time again, along with her body. "Why did you choose me? Can't those beautiful and obedient girls satisfy you?" she demanded, pointing her sword at him. "That's right. They can't fill my lonely heart. Meanwhile, as long as I'm with you, I can overturn the world!"

Isabella Beaumont figured she was making a smart, if desperate, trade: her freedom in exchange for marrying the dreaded Duke Alaric Thorne. Sure, the guy had a reputation darker than a moonless night, whispered about in every corner of the kingdom, but it was just a contract, right? A way to escape a brutal past that had literally left its mark on her face. She wasn’t expecting warmth, and definitely not passion. But then Alaric, this formidable, feared man, starts acting… protective. His unexpected kindness will make her want to throw away her protective mask and actually fall for the man who was supposed to be just her ticket to freedom. Just as Isabella starts believing she might actually deserve happiness, everything begins falling apart around them. With the villains on the loose, old wounds being ripped open, and everyone’s true colors showing, is this sudden, fierce love strong enough to survive the storm? Or will the darkness from their pasts and the deadly games shatter everything they’re starting to build?

"Isla." Staring at relief, regret, happiness and maybe....love, Isla could not believe the man at her front was her husband, even if his appearance had not changed since her escape from the Hayes Duchy. Compared to the indifference he clearly expressed during their five years of marriage, she wanted to laugh out loud, as she understood the reason for his disgusting emotions. "Duke, you finally decided to find me, after your wife's child was proven not to be yours?" Sarcasm laced her tone as painful memories resurfaced in Isla's head. Duke Hayes looked at his first wife, who gave him nothing but pure love in their marriage. However, he pursued another love with intentions and now he became the biggest fool. "Isla, I know I do not owe you an explanation, but please think of our child." he begged, desperately. He wanted her and the child back in his life. The child that links him to Isla, his one and only real wife. The person who loved him and he will do anything to bring back that love. "Our child or my child, Duke?" Isla sharply retorted. Then, with a blank stare, she warned icily. " Choose your words carefully, Dante." The Trial Love Series: His Unforgiving Duchess. His Arrogant Marchioness. (2024-2025) His Cold Baroness.

"Isla." Menatap kelegaan, penyesalan, kebahagiaan, dan mungkin.... cinta, Isla tidak bisa percaya bahwa pria di depannya adalah suaminya, bahkan jika penampilannya belum berubah sejak pelariannya dari Kerajaan Hayes. Dibandingkan dengan ketidakpedulian yang jelas dia tunjukkan selama lima tahun pernikahan mereka, dia ingin tertawa terbahak-bahak, karena dia mengerti alasan dari emosinya yang menjijikkan. "Adipati, akhirnya Anda memutuskan untuk mencari saya, setelah anak istri Anda terbukti bukan anak Anda?" Sindiran menyelimuti nada bicaranya saat kenangan menyakitkan muncul kembali di kepala Isla. Duke Hayes melihat istri pertamanya, yang memberinya cinta sejati selama pernikahan mereka. Namun, dia mengejar cinta lain dengan niat dan sekarang dia menjadi orang yang paling bodoh. "Isla, aku tahu aku tidak berhutang penjelasan padamu, tapi tolong pikirkan anak kita," dia memohon, putus asa. Dia ingin dia dan anak itu kembali dalam hidupnya. Anak yang menghubungkan dirinya dengan Isla, satu-satunya istri sejatinya. Orang yang mencintainya dan dia akan melakukan apa saja untuk mengembalikan cinta itu. "Anak kita atau anakku, Adipati?" Isla membalas tajam. Kemudian, dengan tatapan kosong, dia memperingatkan dengan dingin. "Pilih kata-katamu dengan hati-hati, Dante." The Trial Love Series: His Unforgiving Duchess.

Faithful to their mission of stopping the perpetrator, the Duchess and the Time Criminals were on the move to search for the culprit. Even if it meant that they had to go back in time over and over again.
