The Scandalous Proposal
Summary
The worst crisis in his 15 years of career as an actor! When he was considering to leave the line of business, she stepped into his life. “I could have a relationship of convenience with you, Dokyeong.” “How will I benefit from this?” “I’ll be your shield.” Her life story is even more pathetic than his. Apparently, she’s about to get sold into marrying a junkie. It sounds like she can be a perfect partner… “If things get worse, we might have to get married.” “I’m fine with that. I’d rather have marriage of convenience than be married off to a junkie.” But I wonder why I keep falling for her. “Just asking, can we kiss during the contracted period?” “Mr. Han.” “Yeah?” “Let’s do something more than just a kiss.” Finally, an outrageous rumor that’s only been on their minds comes to life!
... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
