Summary
I thought I was just an extra, an illegitimate child in a novel, until I discovered the truth: I was a complete stranger, about to be unceremoniously tossed out! Rather than wait for the boot, I declared I’d leave on my own terms. That’s when the infamous, psychopathic Duke, known for his terrifying whims and bottomless pockets, suddenly declared, ‘Actually, this child is my daughter. Right, daughter?’ Seeing an opportunity to secure a fortune that could buy an island, I played along, planning to escape with a hefty bank account in a few short months. But the Duke, who initially treated me like a fleeting amusement, unexpectedly grew possessive. ‘Stay by my side until I tell you to leave,’ he commanded, pulling me back into his opulent, dangerous world. What followed was a whirlwind of chaos and unexpected affection. My new ‘family’ — a collection of eccentric uncles, doting aunts, and even future villains — began to fight over who would adopt me, showering me with bizarre obsessions and unwavering protection. And then, the ultimate surprise: ‘Happy Birthday, Ayrin. You’re the head as of today.’ The Duke’s position, handed to me as a birthday gift! Everything seems to be falling perfectly into place, exactly as I’d hoped… or is it? A strange voice from another life echoes in my mind, ‘Hey, how long are you going to sleep? Grandma told you to take your retainer off!’ Is this dream too good to be true? Will I truly be okay? Dive into chapter 1 to uncover Ayrin’s extraordinary journey!
