The Crimson Contract Marriage

Matthew Franklin awakens in a new world, reborn as Park Jason Gabriel, the illegitimate son of a wealthy South Korean family. Raised primarily by his mother in the West, Jason's life takes a dramatic turn after her passing due to a serious illness. He is compelled to move in with his paternal family. At thirteen, he begins to bear the weight of being an illegitimate child of a prominent family. His existence remains largely concealed from the public by his new family, while enduring humiliation within the household. Eventually, Jason leaves his paternal family and returns to the United States. However, shortly after his departure, his paternal family forces him to return. He is coerced into taking the place of his older brother in an arranged marriage to Kim Seo-yeon, the heiress of a large conglomerate facing a significant crisis. Due to the cultural traditions in this world, once an arranged marriage is agreed upon, neither the individuals nor the families involved can back out. The couple must be married within the agreed timeframe and remain together for at least three years before they can separate. Now, Jason must navigate his new life under these challenging circumstances.
