I Accidentally Upgraded My Cursed Husband
By @john1208
At the lavish funeral for her stepmother’s prize-winning poodle, Loria is given an ultimatum: take her stepsister’s place and marry the Beast of Cogwater, or face the streets. The Veldt family expects Loria, a notorious airhead whose greatest talent is matching her parasols to her petticoats, to be miserable with a cursed lord who transforms into a rampaging monster every night.
Instead, Loria is thrilled. As a genius inventor hiding behind a ditzy facade, she knows a heavy-duty mechanical exoskeleton when she hears one. Lord Garrond isn't cursed; he’s just an exhausted billionaire using a terrifying metal suit to mine his estate in peace. Expecting a cold marriage, Loria is shocked when Garrond showers her with unlimited funds. A bittersweet, unspoken love blossoms: he believes he is too cynical for her pure heart, while she suppresses her feelings, assuming he merely wants to be left alone. By day, she plays the spoiled wife; by night, she sneaks out to fix his suit’s terrible suspension. But when her wicked family discovers Garrond's staggering wealth and arrives to swap the brides back, will they succeed, or end up scrubbing his floors as servants?
