CompletedPromo: 15th entry into the V series with a spin‑off underway; crazy dog meets a vicious stepmother; a pre‑sale hoax about a damp male ghost titled “Is a mine legal?”; love powers electricity pulling the residual sorrow of a mist‑town rose; no romantic ties until the separation—see Chapter 1 for details.
Bad news—Opesa has woken up in a limited doujin‑world, immediately cast as an evil stepmother carrying a massive debt and three disposable daughters. Even worse, she finds herself watching the palace servants torture the protagonist Sindreel, all while bound to an Evil‑Score system that forbids gaining favor through maternal care.
The Evil‑Score system demands: pay attention to the character design, finish the main plot; failure will erase her memories. Her first task is simple yet cruel: throw an apple, have Sindreel pick it up with his mouth, and then earn his kiss.
Opesa, unwilling to lose hope, smiles and accepts the burden. She turns the restricted text into an emotional business, paying off her debts and scheming to unite the male and female leads. After hours of effort, the prince seems to take a liking to Sindreel.
Opesa spots an opportunity and plans: when the prince visits incognito, she intoxicates Sindreel, carries him to the prince’s room, shackles him, and leaves satisfied. She has no idea that Sindreel is actually a woman, a woman forced to shed dignity because of her excessive beauty.
Sindreel lives in misery, forever suspecting that God has no mercy. When Opesa appears, he feels both hatred and longing, believing she merely seeks the upper class but will ultimately leave him for her “hometown.” He constantly plots to kill her, yet still supports their shaky household as her assistant, convinced she is different.
Later, Opesa hears her whisper to someone: "You’re talking about what? I am his stepmother, of course I want to marry quickly and live freely." She feels his words like a sudden stop; his statement, "He’s worth nothing to me, I simply want to leave—quickly, best immediately," lingers in her heart.
In time, Opesa, restored to her original body, discovers Sindreel has forgotten her. To keep living, she agrees to a noble’s proposal. That same day the king is overthrown, but the new king never sits on the throne; people only see a rider’s silhouette drifting by. Inside their home, Opesa’s eyes are covered with silk, and she senses indestructible shackles clamping her waist. She’s bound with heated handcuffs and can’t move.
Later, she hears a man with blue eyes in an unseen place whisper his lips to her, saying, "…no one can doubt me now." He also whispers, "You don’t remember? How could that be? The day you taught me to pick an apple with my mouth is forever imprinted in my memory." He proclaims, "…you think I’m… that day in the sun? … I am sent to you? …Sorry?" (The dialogue is intentionally fragmentary, reflecting the complex and chaotic tone.)
Male protagonist disguised as a woman. Religious elements are present. The story is highly melodramatic, featuring selfish entitlement, reverse PUA tactics, manic dual personalities, and outrageous guile.
One‑sentence synopsis: After stepping into the “Cinderella” world, I survive by tormenting the male lead.
Concept: Love yourself; love can transcend everything.
