CH 1

“Miss Trixie!”

* * *

“Get out now!”

Who was that person and where was that place? Her last memory was the moment she was hit by a crazy dump truck while taking a walk with her dog ​​Deoksoon. She thought she was dead because she definitely felt the pain of her bones being broken. But she caught her breath and her eyes opened. It was a strange place.

Before she could properly recognize that she was still alive, a middle-aged foreign man and woman suddenly opened the door and entered, standing there dressed as if they were cosplayers and screaming at her. She didn’t know why but they seemed very angry.

Behind the man, several women dressed as maids entered and turned the room upside down.

“Change your pajamas and go out. You are no longer our daughter anyway, and it is a disgrace to the family to go on like this.”

“… Well. So um… You mean to get out of here?”

A piece of clothing was thrown in front of her and the door closed. It was a pretty yellow colored dress… Large, puffy and with a bunch of intricate knots that would take an hour to put on.

What she was wearing now was a white nightgown with a dainty lace trim.

‘Wait.’ She raised her arm to look at the clothes she was wearing, but she froze for a moment.

There was no way she would look like that. Her hands were small and smooth, with no calluses at all.

“Strange.”

She headed towards the mirror standing on one side of the room. Her steps became hasty.

“… This is crazy.”

Pretty curly hair in a color between orange and red, lovely white cheeks, shining blue eyes… A girl of about sixteen stood there where she should be. She was a very different being from Lim Bo-bae, a thirty-one-year-old office worker. She put her face close to the mirror and looked at the sides.

“Ah, no way.”

How did it happen? Was it a dream? Yes, it had to be a dream.

So she pinched her cheek and it didn’t hurt. ‘Good luck, it’s a dream!’ But at the moment she pulled a little harder.

“Ouch.”

The pain was enough to bring her to tears.

“I guess… it’s not a dream.”

“Why are you procrastinating? Get out now!”

What was the meaning of this ugly man’s coy smile holding her hand next to her, and what the hell meant that old man who puts gold coins into his hand saying it was the last time?

“Honey. Let’s live well from now on.”

The man who was walking alongside her after she got out of the big mansion, no, after she was kicked out, said abruptly.

“… Honey?”

“You abandoned your family for me. You have no idea how happy I am, Miss Beatrice Giuseppe. No, now that I have completed my marriage vows, you will become Beatrice Barton.”

Beatrice, Giuseppe?

A sentence passed through my confused mind: “Beatrice Giuseppe was a young lady famous for being immature.”

‘This… oh finally something came to mind’

A romance novel that she couldn’t finish reading until she was hit by a car and died.

『Contract Marriage with Marquis』

Beatrice Giuseppe was a supporting character in that novel. From her debut party to a petty tea party, she went crazy with gossip and made mistakes. At the end she fell in love with a commoner man and was kicked out of her family, she left the story like that.

She remembered that while reading the character seemed like licorice, like if she was about to burst into death in any moment of the novel

‘But that’s me…?’

Should she pretend she was a supporting character who ruined her life with her own hands? She didn’t even know what the end of the novel was since she couldn’t finish reading it.

Besides, she didn’t even have time to sort things out, when did she marry that guy?

Her dog, Deoksoon, must have been hit by a car too. What happened to him?

“Now there is nothing to hinder our love.”

An ugly man whose name she did not know showed his teeth and laughed while still holding her hand.
