I Know I Shouldn’t Do This with the Duke

After a long-awaited, secret encounter with the Duke she had quietly admired for years, Elin’s life takes an unexpected turn when he proposes a contract marriage.

Despite enduring constant mistreatment from her stepmother and stepsister, Elin has always stood strong. Everything changes at a grand noble ball, where she reunites with Duke Dominic—her hidden crush. When he becomes heavily intoxicated, she stays by his side to care for him… only for the night to spiral into something neither of them planned.

Meanwhile, Dominic is under intense pressure to marry as part of a crucial deal with the Crown Prince. In search of a suitable partner for a marriage of convenience, he chooses Elin and presents her with an offer that could change everything.

But as the lines between duty and emotion begin to blur, one question remains—can Elin truly keep her heart safe in a relationship that was never meant to be real?
