I Faked a Pregnancy, but My Husband Returned

Judith’s world shattered when her father’s death left her a baroness burdened by crushing debt. But a strange twist of fate—or perhaps reincarnation—revealed she was living inside a novel she’d once read. Armed with this forbidden knowledge, Judith devises a desperate plan: become a contract daughter-in-law in a powerful ducal household, a temporary ‘fake wife’ for a son conveniently missing. Her goal? Erase her debts, enjoy a fleeting taste of luxury, and then disappear. The perfect escape, especially since the duke’s son is never supposed to return… and she’s even faked a pregnancy to secure her position. But the novel got it wrong. The ‘missing’ husband, the one who should have remained absent, strides back into her life. His gaze is sharp, his voice laced with suspicion: ‘So you are my wife—the one who is supposedly pregnant with my child.’ Can Judith maintain her elaborate charade, or will her carefully constructed world come crashing down? Dive into chapter 1 to uncover the full story!
