I’d Rather Live as a Villain

After having his achievements stolen by his superiors, the protagonist, who was an assistant manager for the Daeyoung Corporation's Spain team, is pushed into the distribution department. It is there that he begins working as a personal secretary to Director Kang Moon-jung, the sole legitimate successor of the Daeyoung Group.

Threatened with losing her position, Director Kang Moon-jung proposes a contract marriage to her long-time secretary, Yoon Tae-sik, who has served by her side for three years. The goal is to create a century-defining male Cinderella story and shift public attention back to her.

The price of the marriage: ten billion won.

Promised ten billion won, the protagonist agrees to the contract marriage, setting off an office drama as he navigates the various terms and conditions of their arrangement.
