“If you can’t get married, your life will loop forever!?” In her previous life, Justina—a count’s daughter with absolutely no interest in romance—caught the attention of the God of Love. While trying to avoid an endless time loop, she suddenly finds herself on the brink of disaster after her fiancé cheats on her and breaks off their engagement! Then she meets Walt, the heir to a marquis house and a knight. Apparently, he’s also searching for a marriage partner… “Love is meaningless.” The moment he coldly declares that, Justina feels fate at work and immediately proposes to him. “I promise I will never fall in love with you!” With their interests perfectly aligned, the two decide on a contract marriage completely without romance. Just when they think the mission is cleared— “A marriage without love? Did you think I would allow that?” An overwhelmingly meddlesome god is waiting to interfere with the two of them!? _Source: [J-Publishing](https://www.j-publishing.co.jp/fairykiss/book-34853/), translated_ https://www.cmoa.jp/title/310454/
