Selected as the New Stepmother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18
I must never let it be known that I misunderstood the requirement. So I quickly thought of an answer.
“I meant to say I’ve entered an average consumption lifestyle.”
“Hmm.”
The Duke looked at me with suspicious eyes. Then, he quickly returned to his usual blunt expression.
With that conversation over, we walked in silence. It was a time when breath felt choked and blood seemed to dry up.
In the distance, the training ground came into view. Soldiers, stripped to the waist, circled the ground with vigorous shouts, under the command of my father.
Seeing their muscular, towering forms, I couldn’t help but feel pleased. Afraid that smiling openly might look too obvious, I covered my mouth with my hand.
As my father and I entered the training ground, the soldiers noticed us, stopped their drills, and saluted in unison. He responded by raising his palm to his forehead.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
