And in the dangerous world she was dragged into, her survival would depend on one impossible question: Was Alexander her captor… or her savior?

The first thing the fake heiress did when she saw me was imitate me. I loved fishtail dresses. Hence, she immediately bought all the fishtail dresses in the city. I loved roses.

It did not occur to me that I would return to the moment when she had just purchased the fishtail dresses.
