Contract marriage system

Trinit33
Shannon, a young author, finds herself inexplicably transported into the world of her own novel—only to realize she has become its female lead, a cunning con-artist sold as a child to a powerful nobleman. Bound by his control, she is tasked with seducing the third prince at the kingdom’s annual ball to help orchestrate a coup against the king. However, everything changes when Shannon discovers she is not alone. Her long-time rival from the real world has also been transmigrated into the story—now as the first prince, a character originally destined to die during the political upheaval she herself wrote. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they realize the stakes are far higher than fiction: if the story follows its original path, he will die, the kingdom will fall into corruption, and they may never return home. Complicating matters further, Shannon never finished the novel. With only partial knowledge of the plot, they must navigate a dangerous world of court politics, betrayal, and hidden enemies. Together, they must outmaneuver the manipulative nobleman, expose corrupt officials, prevent the king’s assassination, and imprison the third prince before he can seize power. As they struggle to stay alive and rewrite the story’s ending, Shannon and the first prince must confront their growing trust—and the unsettling possibility that their fate may now be permanently tied to a story that was never meant to be completed.

Heroine-Saving System: Reborn In A Third-Rate Manga As The Protagonist

“So I’m the one who has to do the work of the Protagonist in this life?” ... Mateo Estes was never supposed to be anything special. He was an orphan abandoned by his shelter at seventeen, and a young man who floated between one miserable job to the next, he had learned very early that life would not hand him miracles. Stability came only after years of grinding, after sharing rooms with strangers, after budgeting every cent until he could finally afford a cramped one-bedroom apartment. His biggest achievement was not glamorous, but it was his: a career as one of FaceLive’s most ruthless anime and manga reviewers, a voice that could destroy or crown a series with a single stream. By the time he turned twenty, Mateo had built a loyal following through a single, brutal principle: honesty. If a story was trash, he said it. If a heroine was written like a cardboard prop, he mocked it. If the worldbuilding fell apart, he tore it limb from limb. His latest target was a manga with a famously long title…「Ore wa shujinkō dakara, mochiron utsukushii hiroin-tachi o sukuu!」, a series recommended endlessly by viewers who insisted he would love the setting. And he did… at first. The Crest power system had potential, the academy concept was refreshing, and the political tension of the Great Clans gave it weight. But everything collapsed under horrendous execution: heroines who fell in love because the protagonist breathed near them, plot armor thicker than steel, and a President’s daughter powerful enough to defeat an A-rank monster getting kidnapped by a C-rank rookie. It was, in Mateo’s words, peak stupidity. He rated it a 3/10 on stream, roasted it for several minutes, and logged off feeling lighter than he had all week. Even a $10,000 donation couldn’t compare to the satisfaction of honest critique. He slept peacefully that night, unaware that the universe had taken his rant personally. When Mateo awoke, nothing was familiar. His apartment layout had shifted, the cheap furniture replaced, and when he reached the bathroom mirror, a stranger stared back… a six-foot blond hunk with defined muscles, sharp features, and the exact face of the protagonist. If that wasn’t bad enough, he got his System shortly after 「Role Assigned: Protagonist」 「Mission: Save the Heroines」 「Failure: Erasure」 He was cooked…
