Sickly? Husband’s Contractual Wife

Selena is married off to a sickly duke so she can produce an heir for his family. Born into a family famed for its fertile women, she follows the prescribed medicine and astrologer’s advice, but no pregnancy comes. Her husband blames her for failing to fulfill the purpose of their marriage. Though he dislikes being touched, Selena takes pity on him and sets out to restore his health with nutritious meals and exercise, even testing suspicious foods herself. She plans to leave once he recovers and their marriage is annulled. But when the duke becomes healthy, he insists she still owes him the duties of a wife—and claims they have not yet divorced.
