I Faked a Pregnancy, but My Husband Returned

I Faked a Pregnancy, but My Husband Returned follows Judith, a woman who suddenly becomes a debt-ridden baroness after her father’s death, only to realize she has been reincarnated inside a novel she once read. To survive and pay off her debts, she takes advantage of her knowledge of the story and enters a powerful duke’s household as a contract daughter-in-law, pretending to be pregnant with the missing heir’s child.

Her plan is simple: stay for a few months, earn money, and leave quietly. However, everything changes when the husband who was never supposed to return in the original story suddenly appears. As her fake marriage turns into a complicated relationship, Judith must navigate noble politics, unexpected emotions, and a storyline that no longer follows the original plot she once relied on.
