Raising My Fiancé With Money
Episode 1: Money Can't Buy Me Love
SERIES ADVISORY
THIS SERIES CONTAINS DEPICTIONS AND/OR STRONG IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOLLOWING:
• VERBAL ABUSE
Fortune Teller
Th-This is...!
Fortune Teller
I've never read for someone who has this much luck with money!
Fortune Teller
So much so that you'll practically be showered with money all your life!
Fortune Teller
All this money in this world flows toward you!
We'll I do have some money... Overwhelming so, in fact.
I've heard she's good, and she really is.
Fortune Teller
You have terrible luck in love.
Fortune Teller
As if that's what's compensating...
Fortune Teller
... For your incredibly good luck with money.
Ilya
But that can't be... I'm engaged.
Ilya
And it's not even an arranged marriage.
Ilya
We genuinely love each other.
Fortune Teller
Is that so?
Fortune Teller
But you'll lose him soon.
What is she talking about?!
Fortune Teller
You don't have to pay the fee today,
Fortune Teller
... If I said turns out to be true later,
Fortune Teller
You can pay me then.
She says I'm so unlucky in love that it's almost like I'm cursed.
And I'm going to lose my fiancé?
What the fortune teller said started to haunt me.
But I thought that sinking feeling would go away as soon as I saw Rihart...
Ilya
Whose carriage is that...?!
Servant
PLEASE WAIT, LADY ILYA!
Rihart
Are you kidding me?
Rihart
I told you not to let anyone in—
Rihart
Whatever you might be thinking now...
Rihart
... It's all a misunderstanding.
Rihart
She's my sister's guest.
Rihart
And she's taken off her dress only because she spilled a drink on it.
Rihart
I promise we weren't up to something.
Rihart
If you think about it...
Rihart
You might be my fiancée.
Rihart
But that doesn't mean you can barge in on me without notice like this...
Rihart
Without even knocking on the door.
Rihart
Shouldn't you have a little more respect for your fiancé?
I can't help but believe what the fortune teller said...
That I'm miserable unlucky...
Ilya was born into a rich count's family.
They were already notably wealthy...
But became especially phosperous after Ilya was born.
Her family had tremendous success every time they launched a new business...
A distant, unknown relative of Ilya's suddenly passed and left the family with a huge inheritance...
And every time there was a lucky ruffle for gifts...
.... 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞.
Whenever Ilya went out without a penny, she often found a gold coin on the street
Or walked into a restaurant as it's 10,000th guest and got a free meal.
Most unfortunately of all, Ilya was engaged to her first love, Rihart...
... Who led a perfect life.
Ilya
Rihart... I loved him so much...
However, her agonizingly long-cherished love...
... Didn't turn out as perfectly.
Believing he was the man of her dreams.
She was secretly in love with him.
She'd already put so much effort into getting engaged with him.
... But it still had to strive to become his ideal type of woman.
Because he said he liked sweet, warmhearted women.
She put a smile on her face all the time...
... And even changed her hobbies and preferences as he wanted.
𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱.
She tried to understand him, thinking he just didn't know how to express his feelings properly.
And his feelings for her were mutual, if not equally strong.
That's what she thought...
Ilya
I was such a stupid pushover all this time.
Ilya
I had no idea how much I'd sacrificed, all for his sake.
Come to think of it, Rihart turned to me only when he needed money.
Rihart
Ilya I need your financial help...
*this is just a memory of Ilya when Rihart needed money to her*
Ilya
I'm done with that now.
Then, I'll need to break off our engagement first.
Fortune Teller
You don't have to pay the fee today...
Fortune Teller
... But if what I said turns out to be true later...
Fortune Teller
... You can pay me then.
*Another memory of Ilya when she went to the Fortune Teller!*
Ilya
... I'll need to drop by the bank first.
Ilya
They're all Rihart's favorite style of dresses.
Ilya
I need some new outfits too.
Ilya
Frances, Malek, It's been a while...
Malek
You can't imagine how much we've worried about you.
Frances
It's only been a month and yet you've grown so thin...
Ilya
I'm sorry I worried you.
Ilya
By the way where are my parents and brother?
Frances
They're out at the moment.
I was so busy caring about Rihart that I haven't seen my family since it all happened.
I should also apologized to them.
Yes, I'll say sorry as soon as they come back.
Ilya
Before that, let me do what needs to be done.
Shop Owner
THANK YOU, AND PLEASE STOP BY AGAIN!
Villager
Wow! Who's that lady? *murmur*
Villager
You don't know her? She's Lady Ilya from the famous 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻 Family.
Villager
You mean 𝗧𝗵𝗲 Blodens?!
Villager
The ones who'd still have money even if they made no income for three generations?!
Frances
My Lady, would you like to go home now?
Ilya
I need to meet someone.
Fortune Teller
I'm afraid we're closed —
Ilya
What you've foretold has come true.
Fortune Teller
MY GOODNESS!
Fortune Teller
OHMAGOD, OHMAGOD,
Fortune Teller
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GIVE SO MUCH MONEY TO ME?!
Ilya
Of course you deserve this. You've saved me from a miserable fate.
Ilya
... Please tell me more about my love life.

Episode 2: But Money Can Buy Everything Else
Fortune Teller
It'd be hard to change your fate drastically within a month.
Fortune Teller
... I do see a man in your future. He's possibly the love of your life.
Fortune Teller
He's born under an unlucky star.
Fortune Teller
But good luck will come to him as he meets you.
Ilya
*Startled* ... Will he cheat on me?
Fortune Teller
We don't know that yet, but one thing is certain.
Fortune Teller
He'll be a treasure of treasures to you.
Fortune Teller
If you go west today...
Fortune Teller
... Good things will happen.
Ilya
This one, that one...
Ilya
... That one with the frills, the one right next to it...
Ilya
... And that one over there, too.
Ilya
I'll buy everything except for what I've just pointed out.
Shop Owner
THANK YOU, MADAM!
It's been a while since I last splurged like this. It doesn't feel to bad, actually.
No... In fact, I feel great.
All the more so because I can finally buy things I truly like!
Frances
YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL, MY LADY!
Malek
You have great taste in fashion, My Lady.
Ilya
Sorry I kept you standing for so long.
Frances
Please don't mind, My Lady. We're truly having fun!
Ilya
Bear with me just a little more.
Ilya
I need to buy some gifts for my family, and then we can go home.
Store Worker
Excuse me, Madam.
Store Worker
What should be done with the dress you arrived in?
Rihart
You'd look better in this dress.
*This is just a memory of Ilya, please be aware!*
Seems like they don't have anything here worthy of becoming a gift.
Ever since I started spending more time with Rihart,
I've stopped doting on my family in order to out him first.
I must've worried them so much every time I ignored their warnings about Rihart.
I want to give them a nice gift as a gesture of apology.
But all they have here are gold-plated or cheap glass items...
The prices are far too high for the quality.
Karhan
I'd like to buy a music box for a gift.
That's one good-looking guy!
Shop Worker
Oh, sure! This way, please...
He looks a bit fierce too.
Shop Worker
This one sells out a lot these days!
Shop Worker
It's made of the best materials
Shop Worker
By a master craftsman with the finest, most exquisite handwork!
Shop Worker
It only costs a mere 150 Kroels~!
They're obviously trying to rip him off.
But what kind of idiot would pay that much for such a crude—?!
... It's him! He's the idiot!
Shop Worker
Thank you kindly, good sir~!
Shop Worker
By the way, how would you like to take a Gander at this too? It's brand-new and hit the shelves only yesterday!
Shop Worker
It's a must-have item these days!
Shop Worker
Who wouldn't absolutely love to get this as a present~?
Shop Worker
THIS ONE, THAT ONE, AND THAT ONE OVER THERE ARE SOOOO POPULAR THESE DAYS TOO~!
Shop Worker
AND~ YOU CAN GET ALL OF THESE AT 150 KROELS EACH! DON'T MISS THIS LUCKY CHANCE!
Ilya
How could this be considered a "lucky" chance...
Ilya
... When his clearly getting ripped off?!
Ilya
When I checked the price tag, it was 60 Kroels.
Ilya
Has the price gone up within a minute?
Shop Worker
Wh-What are you talking about?!
Ilya
Excuse me, if you don't mind...
Was it rude for me to intervene?
He reminds me of someone I used to be...
... Someone who couldn't turn down all those unreasonable demands, being stupidly nice and kind no matter what...
... Only to be betrayed, wetting my sleeves with tears every night.
Ilya
Could I give you recommendations?
I just can't move past him.
Shop Worker
I'm sorry, but ma'am!
Shop Worker
It's my boss who decides the price!
Shop Worker
Besides, it's not too expensive if you only have to pay 150 Kroels for such a high-quality product.
Shop Worker
(= what do you know?)
Shop Worker
I'm afraid if the price is too high for you to pay, madam.
Shop Worker
I can recommend you something cheaper.
Shop Worker
(= You can't even afford to pay 150 Kroels?)
SERIOUSLY? Are you picking a fight with ME over money?
Shop Owner
LADY ILYA BLODEN!!!
Shop Owner
Here's the acquisition certificate.
Shop Owner
I'll send other documents to your mansion later.
Shop Owner
I've signed the paper, so please sign right here...
Shop Owner
How generous of you to purchase the store at double the market price.
Shop Owner
I'm not your boss anymore, so don't call me that.
Shop Owner
She's your new boss!
Ilya
I'm now the owner of this place, so...
Ilya
I decide the prices, don't I?
Ilya
I'd like to charge 60 Kroels for this. Do you have a problem with that?
Shop Worker
N-No, Madam...
Ilya
Go write new price tags then.
Ilya
And clean the store, I see so much dust in here.
Karhan
Thank you for helping me out. *Bow*
Ilya
To be honest, I'm rather afraid I caused you trouble. I'm sorry I butted in.
He seems so grateful even though there's really no need to be. How rare... What a polite guy.
Ilya
You should refuse point-blank whenever anyone tries to sell things you don't want to buy.
Ilya
or they'll keep bothering you.
Karhan
Oh, the thing is...
Karhan
I'm very bad at rejecting people...
But you look so good at it...
Wait, you can't judge people by appearance.
Ilya
Anyways, If you don't mind, could I give you some recommendations?
Karhan
... Yes, please. Thanks.
Ilya
If you're looking for a gift, this'll work fine. It's a popular design.
Ilya
This one has calm music...
Ilya
... And that one has a particularly pretty design here.
The look on his face is totally different now.
Is he looking for a gift for his fiancée?
Somehow I'm getting a little
...Jealous of the one receiving his gift.
Ilya
Please take care of the store for the time being.
Ilya
I'm going to hire new clerks soon.
Karhan
This is nothing much, but...
Karhan
You helped me out and even gave me advice on what to buy.
Karhan
I'm afraid I took up far too much of your time...
...But I didn't help him to be rewarded or something.
Ilya
No. I'm not someone who'd seek a reward for a bit of help.
Ilya
Actually, it's my first time even meeting someone.
Ilya
Who tried to express gratitude to me through money.
Ilya
But I simply don't need any money.
