The original Erica was written as the pitiful ex of the novel’s male lead, Reo. Now that I’m her, I refuse that pathetic side role, and I’ll cast him aside first! But then again… the way he looks at me, with those gentle eyes… No! I must stay strong. All the male leads fall for Juliana anyway. I can’t compete with her (she’s the protagonist!), but it feels like these men are throwing me into the ring! Should I let the plot run its course or save a few broken hearts and give my destiny a rewrite?

Adel always wanted a family to love her, and she may be close to getting her wish. Upon realizing she’s the Child of Prophecy destined to lead the empire, Duke Aizen adopts Adel—but only for a month! Given an uncertain future, Adel tries to win over the hearts of as many of her found family as she can: her reserved adoptive father, the reluctant maid, even the colorful group that makes up her guards. Will it take more than being good (and eating those yucky bell peppers) to stay in this castle she now considers home?
