New chapters on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! What would you choose? Would you be good and live in a fancy lie? Or would you rather be rebelious and seek the truth? In 1934, Anne, the second wife of Thomas, head of the Murphy family, was unjustly unhappy. To the outsiders, she had it all. To herself, however, she was a prisoner. Though her marriage was a ridiculous arrangement, she had no right to complain. Thomas had saved her from a doomed fate. Thomas had given her a glamorous life. Thomas had turned a blind eye to her scandalous affair with his younger brother. But Thomas had also stripped her of her past, present, and future. The delicately maintained façade of the Murphy family began to unravel when the men from her past returned. Soon, she realized what she thought she knew about this family was a web of intricately crafted lies. All those that bore the Murphy name wanted to be freed, but they couldn’t liberate themselves from the secrets that imprisoned them together. And when the rival family finally came knocking with a vengeance, Anne was presented with a choice.

As I found myself thrust into this bewildering situation, I couldn't help but wonder if fate had a strange sense of humor. Here I was, once the top A-rank agent, now trapped in the role of a notorious villainess in a reverse harem novel. But why did it had to be the villainess? Well, I don't care! But now that I'm here, I'll enjoy my life to the fullest that I couldn't before. Plus, my family is real rich. Though an issue soon occurred. The female lead keeps sticking to me! I tried to get rid of her by distancing myself since I don't want to end up in the chaos like in the novel… But the female lead is just so adorable!! What would happen if the once fearsome antagonist was now trying to protect the very person she once tormented?  "Sabiiiii!" Ann's voice chimed, her eyes sparkling with innocence. It was hard to resist her charm, and I found myself softening despite my initial intentions. And it seems the so-called main suitors are suffering from collective amnesia. They flocked to me, oblivious to the fact that Anne was the true focus of their affections. "Stay Away! I will not give you my lovely Ann," I declared, my frustration mounting. "Who said I wanted her?" The chaos continued with the supposed fiancé as well, who seemed convinced that our engagement was set in stone, "You are my soon-to-be fiancée! Please compose yourself"  "I refuse to get engaged to you and to compose, whatever that is". "Don't you think you're quite rude to your soon-to-be Fiancé?"  "I'm not rude, you're too nice! And I told you I'm not getting engaged to you" "Thank you, my Lady"  "…Are you dumb?!!!" What in the world of strawberries was going on indeed? It was a baffling and comical twist of fate. But as the days passed, I found myself navigating this bizarre world with a newfound determination. If I was going to be stuck in this story, I might as well do it my way. And who knows, maybe I could turn this chaotic tale into something truly extraordinary.
