Dorothy Dunnett Fantastic

Lucia Scott’s life takes an unexpected turn when she’s forced to honor her late parents’ wish: to marry Malcolm Sterling, the heir to one of the wealthiest families in England. Their fates were intertwined long before the tragic accident that claimed both Malcolm’s father and Lucia’s parents. But neither of them wants this marriage. Malcolm, still recovering from heartbreak after being betrayed by his first love, Stephanie Young, hides his vulnerability behind a ruthless demeanor. His bitterness deepens when Lucia boldly declares she would rather kiss a monkey than ever fall in love with him. Resentful, Malcolm lays down seven rules for their marriage, and his constant comparisons to Stephanie only fuel Lucia’s growing hatred for him. Despite their mutual animosity, Malcolm’s mother, Dorothy, and his younger sisters, Meredith and Alice, take an immediate liking to Lucia. They shower her with love and support, firmly standing by her side and preferring her over Stephanie, who they believe is unworthy of their family. Their unwavering loyalty gives Lucia a sense of belonging, even as she endures Malcolm’s cold treatment. Just when Malcolm and Lucia begin to let their walls down and consider giving their fragile relationship a chance, Stephanie returns with a vengeance. Through cunning manipulation, she frames Lucia, shattering the tenuous trust between her and Malcolm. With Stephanie still holding the deepest part of Malcolm’s heart, their marriage crumbles. Now, Malcolm must face a harsh truth: he was wrong. But when he realizes his mistake and seeks to make amends, he’s met with a cold reality—Lucia wants nothing more to do with him. With Dorothy, Meredith, and Alice firmly on her side, will Lucia find the strength to move on, or will Malcolm fight against the odds to win back the woman he pushed away?

The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.
