“Argh! Selena, I’m going to kill you!”

“....!”

I opened my eyes at the sound which was heard as if an enormous lion roared from afar.

‘What?’

I saw the ceiling for the first time, the wallpaper for the first time, and the furnishings for the first time.

‘It looks tacky....’

I was perplexed by the strange interior of the western vintage style at the time.

The door sprang open, and a westerner disguised as a maid dashed inside.

“My Lady! Hide away in the closet! Come on, let’s go!”

The maid dragged me out of bed without waiting for me to be shocked.

“Come on, let’s go! Come on, hide Lady Shannon is so furious that she has come here right now!”

Shannon?

‘I believe I’ve heard that name before.’

Where did I hear that?

“Commander Crawford hasn’t returned yet! Come on,my Lady......!”

Commander Crawford? It was also a familiar name.

“Argh!”

The maid was thrown out.

Then, all of a sudden, a stunning blonde beauty appeared.

‘Wow, she’s pretty. She looks like a princess.’

While I was admiring her, she strode up and gazed down at me.

“You worthless scumbag, bitch!”

“....What?”

“You’re the reason I won’t be able to attend the banquet!”

The blonde beauty.. no, the blonde thug yanked my hair.

“Who are you? What are you....? Argh!”

The blonde thug gripped my head and shook it like a tambourine.

‘What is this? Is this a dream?’

But my scalp hurt so badly for it to be a dream.

Dumbfounded, I came to my senses at the next line of the blonde thug’s rant.

“Why did a stutterer like you receive an invitation? What a jerk!”

Shannon.

Crawford.

And..

‘Stutterer.’

I recognized this as I glanced up blankly at the blonde thug’s ass face.

‘Oh, my God.’

No way! Don’t tell me!

I seem to be possessed by a 19-rate novel.......!

***

As a fresh graduate of the Department of Theater and Film, I bought a book on impulse ahead of the audition.

A highly sensual, romantic novel.

The Tragical Story?and?Obsessive Man.

All of the keywords appeal to me.

※This novel contains a bloody and coercive relationship※

I also ignored the warning..

Because I’m occasionally drawn to this kind of storyline!

Expectations were increased by a red tag of 19 with a black and reddish cover.

However.

“Did you stitch your lips together? Why aren’t you responding to my question? I inquired whether The Grand Duke had seen you!”

“M-m-me, I don’t know. The Grand Duke, w-w-who, I’m not really....”

“You’ve been wagging your tail in front of him and now you dare to lie, hah?”

“Aah!”

Selina clasped the beaten cheek and fell flat on the ground.

<Bound of Salvation>.

Wouldn’t that be evident that the poor title was a problem?

Even if the genre is R-rated, as if eating sweet potatoes, the plot in the novel was too frustrating and depressing.

The main character was Selina Crawford, the Count’s daughter.

Selina, who lived without saying anything, was forced to marry the Male Lead, as if she were being sold, and the two of them began their 19-rate marriage life.

In the end of the story, Selina opens her heart to the Male Lead, but the ending leaves me wondering whether she is sad or happy....

‘I couldn’t read it any longer because it was so frustrating!’

As if the author was just interested in tormenting the Female Lead, she only put in frustrating scenes.

‘How did I end up in this type of novel?’

I wasn’t even curious to read the next part!

Half of me cursed while reading it, while the other half flipped it over in irritation.

‘There is no way I....? Because I left a bad review?’

I couldn’t keep reading it because it was just too frustrating, so that was the way I gave my appreciation to the author.

I wondered whether I was the only one who was agitated, but the person’s comment below mine was much more furious.

I couldn’t tolerate the villain’s character and behavior, whether her name was Shannon or Canyon, and Male Lead is too laidback, while Female Lead is too stiff and irritating.

I bought it since it was a series, but I regret it completely.

Despite the fact that I purchased it thinking it would be such a waste, I felt so frustrated during the reading.

The stepmother, Camilla, and the stepsister, Shannon.

‘Because of that wicked mother and daughter.’

Because the two had been constantly mistreating and tormenting Selina.

And now I.... I became Selina?

“Lady Shannon is so mean. How did she get this fine hair so....”

I dashed to the front of the mirror, leaving the maid who had stroked my messy hair behind.

“Woah..”

‘So pretty!’

Shannon, the blonde thug, is also a beauty, but my appearance was at a level of tremendous beauty that would rule the country.

‘This insanely beautiful face.’

Green eyes that shine like a diamond in a beautiful almond shape!

The curling golden hair like angel wings, and the flawless skin was white and delicate.

My eyelashes were so long that when I blinked, they fluttered.

‘That’s why she’s the heroine.’

These fragile shoulders!

The slim waist!

This body looked like it would be quickly blown away by the wind.

I couldn’t take my gaze away from the mirror because of Selina’s stunning figures.

Oh, the main character is unique!

Because I was a newbie, I was constantly cast as an extra.

However, now, I live as the main character!

I can’t believe I’m the heroine!

The main character is a total douchebag who made me curse every night I read, but anyway..

“The main character is the greatest!”

I busted out laughing.

And from the mirror, I appeared extremely cute at that moment.

“I’m looking extremely beautiful today. Right?”

The maid inadvertently mumbled as she dropped her comb.

‘Oh, Shannon just yanked my hair out, didn’t she?’

I was concerned that she might find it weird, but the maid was taken aback for entirely other reasons.

“My lady.... My Lady didn’t stutter.”

The enchanted maid whispered something.

Selina did not stutter from the beginning.

Camilla humiliated Selina when her husband, Count Crawford, died, in order to strengthen her position.

Selina eventually began to stutter as a result of her anxiety of appearing in front of others.

She never stutters in the beginning.

That’s why the maid was taken aback.

“Please repeat it, My Lady. Please, just once more.”

The maid broke into tears.

‘She looked so thrilled.’

Selina, an aristocrat, was meant to be served by a maid, but she appeared to be one herself.

‘Why the heck am I dressed this way?’

I even almost cried when I saw myself in the mirror this way.

Who would believe such a lady is a noblewoman?

“Lady! You are The Count’s legitimate daughter! Why are you still suffering in this way?”

Selina was so irritated that she couldn’t speak out or assert her rights.

Not at all. Not even once.

I turned to the maid after looking at the clothing and being displeased with them.

“Penny?”

“Yes, yes!”

Penny is a commoner maid.

Penny was so kind as to be beaten to cover up for Selina when she was beaten. But Penny herself didn’t have much strength, because of her poor social position.

‘But she was the only one who didn’t get bought for a few bucks.’

All of the maids had worked together to assist the Countess in selling Selina to Male Lead, starting with dressed Selina, tying her up and loading her into the carriage, then sending her away as if shipping a package in a haste.

‘How dare they sell people out?’

Of course the worst was Camilla, the stepmother who arranged the forced marriage.

“Always be grateful since I raised you who I didn’t share a single drop of blood with and send you to a good marriage, Selina.”

“Oh, my God, my mother, m-m-me, uh, go get married, that thing.”

“Shh, do you know how much Grand Duke paid to take you? Go and entertain him. You have to pay for it.”

Though I was out of my mind in the sudden situation, I felt sick at the thought of Camilla. More than that, my entire body is aching, and my head, which had been pulled by Shannon, has been painful.

As my eyes sting, Penny flinched and retreated.

“My Lady....ar-are you okay?”

Looking back at the door, she seems to be thinking if she should call a doctor.

“I’m alright, though I have a headache .”

I stopped Penny and headed to bed calmly.

A tiny vial was seized in my fingers beneath the pillow just as I was going to lie down pretending to have a headache.

‘What is this?’

It was a brown reagent vial when I pulled it out. But it was empty without its contents.

The opening scene of?<Bound of Salvation>?flashed before my eyes like a video at the time.

‘Last night..Selina fell asleep after drinking this.’

A potion.

This was an expensive potion that Selina had spent all her money on.

‘She was going to drink this and die.’
