Prolog\n
[âWhich princess would you like to choose?â\n
There were only a few people in the large hall, expressionless. The servant bowed his head for a moment and asked the emperor, whoâs said to be the most beautiful and noble blood of the gods in the world.\n
âIt doesnât matter who it is. The blood or love of the royal family. I just need a daughter to be sacrificed.â\n
The emperor had been on the countless stairs that it was impossible to grasp with his eyes looked down at the women in front of him silently. Cold eyes. Looks that are sharp and cold enough to stab someone to death filled the hall.\n
However, unlike his expression, the emperorâs mind changed every day. Now that the day of the oracle was near, he was uttering words that he couldnât be sure of in a form of determination.\n
But because they were too far away, the two women looked at him with twinkling eyes, unable to hear the Emperorâs words that he only needed one daughter to be sacrificed.\n
From the back, they looked so identical that they were believed to be twins. However, their front view was vastly different. Their silver hair and pink eyes with a hint of red were the same.\n
However, one was looking at the emperor with confident eyes and the other showed an uneasy look. Bebeana, the real daughter of the emperor, and Lilian, the fake daughter of the emperor.\n
Bebeana, the bloodline of the emperor, bit her lip anxiously. On the other hand, Lilian raised her chin confidently, she was smiling so brightly that her eyes couldnât be seen and looked at the emperor. There was certainty in Lilianâs eyes.\n
âFather will choose me.â\n
It was an absolute belief. The perfect self that only those who had longed for love for a long time and finally been loved by the emperor could have made choices in the meantime.\n
This choice will soon separate the lives of these two women. The unselected daughter will be a sacrifice, and the chosen daughter will live forever loved as a princess. Who is the chosen daughter and who is not chosen?]\n
âIn the end it was Bebeana, the real princess was chosen. Lilian was the one who was sacrificed, but it was the worst choice. At least for Bebeana.â\n
I closed the book I was reading and sighed deeply. A book of an unknown author with no title written on a pure white cover. This novel, which I like to think of as a common romance novel⊠is the book that I possessed in.\n
I was possessed by a book and I canât believe I have that book in my hand. Sigh. In a nutshell, it feels like a play that starts while knowing the ending. I didnât even know who I was until recently, but when I saw this book I realized that I was possessed by it.\n
The plot of the novel was roughly like this. An unnamed child lived begging for bread on the street until she was 10 years old. At the age of 10, the child finds out that sheâs a princess and enters the Imperial Palace.\n
However, those who donât have anything from the beginning donât know how far they should receive what they are given. So when the emperor gave her good things and affection, she received nothing.\n
Perhaps it was because she looked like her, but the emperor strangely cares more about her. No, I thought I was going to finish it, but it wasnât the conclusion. In the end, that love was a lie and acting for Lilian. No matter how much Bebeana longed for love, it didnât come true.\n
âPhew. And thatâs what happened to the main character of this body 11 days ago.â\n
âPrincess, you must get ready now.â\n
âYess.â\n
I jumped up from my seat at the words of the maid urging me without emotion, I threw the book somewhere and sat down on the dressing table. My reflection in the mirror. It wasnât just an ordinary 17 or 10 years old child. She has a very pretty face with eyes big enough to be a child model.\n
âSo pretty.â\n
While smiling and slightly stretching my cheeks, I let out a deep sigh. Whatâs the point of being born this pretty? Iâm going to die soon. Thereâs no other choice than to die. But my fate is changing because of the fake daughter, anyone can tell that Iâm the Emperorâs daughter.\n
Itâs bittersweet. Itâs a story about a princess who would have been loved and raised if her fate hadnât changed from the beginning. I covered my slightly bitter heart and looked straight at the maid in the mirror.\n
âYou know. Youâre pretty good at this, arenât you?â\n
ââŠYes?â\n
Lisbeth who became my exclusive maid as of yesterday, widened her eyes as if she was quite surprised. Whatâs so surprising? I looked over the mirror. The sparkling silver hair was shining as if it was made by the moonlight one by one and eyes that were bright pink as if they were carved with jewels. Although there was a little more red light, it was beautiful enough to be considered pink. Itâs just lovely. Hehe. I smiled shyly at Lisbeth, who was still bewildered and covered her mouth.\n
âYou dress me up more than I thought. Iâm sure everyone can be pretty with just this much.â\n
But then whatâs the point? In the end, the important thing is to be a child whoâll die receiving lots of love from his father. Even when Iâm staying still, I sigh automatically.\n
âYouâre pretty. Our Princess Bebeana.â\n
The name that came out of Lisbethâs mouth annoyed me instantly. My name is Bebeana. My nickname is Bebe. Itâs a name thatâs truly insincere. When I first heard the name, I was like âIâm Bebea?â It was built to the point that I have mistaken it. It really feels like Iâve been called out.\n
(T/N: Na is a way to say I or Me in Korean)\n
But itâs a name that I canât hate much. Thanks to the unique name, I knew that this body possessed by me was the main character of the white book I saw earlier. But what does it matter? I struggled with my arms and legs, vomiting out the anger that had accumulated in my heart.\n
âItâs annoying! I hate Bebeana!â\n

Flustered by my behaviour, Lisbeth made a slightly tired expression on her face.\n
âP-princess? Do you⊠want me to call you that?â\n
âNo. Thatâs it.â\n
Even though I said no, she kept her mouth shut in bewilderment. Sigh. All of our maids are nice, but only Lisbeth pays attention. But what can I do? Sheâs the only one who listens to me. I jumped off my seat and turned to look at her.\n
âSister Lisbeth, where are we going?â\n
To relieve Lisbethâs expression, I smiled as brightly as possible like a child and even called her with the title of sister. This wonât make me look crazy. Like a child. Letâs act like a child.*\n
âWeâre going to Y-your Majesty. Is it right? Weâre going to the princessâs father. Ah, father is difficult⊠the princessâs dad! Youâre going to meet him.â\n
She looked quite happy smiling at me, bending down as if it were a customized education. Itâs the brightest expression Iâve ever seen since coming here. Lisbeth seemed to want me to get along with the Emperor or dad.\n
She must have thought it would be better to see the emperor for a moment than being the maid of an abandoned palace. She had no choice but to do this since itâll be good for her future if she become the maid of a beloved princess rather than a princess who doesnât have much to see. I have to understand.\n
Actually, I donât like meeting my dad. Because he didnât come to see me although Iâm his daughter. Except for the first day I came to the palace, I havenât seen him ever since. It was clear that he was indifferent to me, so he didnât want to care at all. But what can I do? If she wants to, Iâll go.\n
âWill it be hard for you to understand me?â\n
âNo! I know Dad!â\n
âI think the princess is very smart. Then letâs go now. Iâll hold you.â\n
As soon as her words were finished Lisbeth hold me as if my 10 years old body wasnât heavy. Sister, youâll lose your back. I turned my head to made eye contact with her because I felt sorry for her.\n
âPut me down.â\n
âYes? Ah. Do you hate it a lot? I think itâs because I just became a maidâŠâ\n
âNo. Itâs just uncomfortable.â\n
âAh⊠Yes, Iâll put you downâ\n
Donât make that hurtful face. I feel bad for no reason.\n
âI was afraid sister will get sick.â\n
âWhat?â\n
âIâm really heavy. So⊠hmm. Iâll tell you if my legs hurt. Then hug me. And I really like sister Lisbeth so much. Pretty, nice, and you give me a lot of delicious snacks. So donât get sick!â\n
Ah, itâs so hard to act like a child. I smiled broadly, even acting cute that I canât usually do well.\n
ââŠAh! Yes!â\n
Maybe touched by those words, Lisbeth covered her mouth with her hand as soon as I finished speaking and smiled broadly. Okay. Iâm fine if Lisbeth is happy. Acting cute wonât kill me. Actually, itâs comfortable to hug her, but Iâm a grown-up at the age of 10, so why would I? Iâm not a kid.\n
It was then. When I left my room and chatted with Lisbeth, heading to my father whoâs in absolute power, something big enough to believe that a big dog jumped in coming towards me. And I was able to recognize its identity right away.\n
âJeno.â (T/N: NCT Dream?)\n
Even though I called his name, Jeno was busy making fun of me by flinching the bridge of his nose as if ignoring my words.\n
âHey, commoner! I heard youâve lived as a commoner all this time? You smell like a commoner.â\n
Yeah. Barking puppy. Where does the smell of commoners come from? He chooses to do things that are so disgusting to the point where I want to hit him. This guy who speaks immaturely in front of me is the Emperorâs second son, Jeno.\n
Heâs two years older than me but looks like maturity left him even before he was born. I met him for the first time 10 days ago, but since then bullying him seems to have become the fun of my life, so I took a step closer and smiled at my brother today.\n
âYeah. Brother smells like shit.â\n
âWhat? Shit?â\n
You immature brother. Itâs right to treat this kind of guy the same. I stretched out my shoulders and smiled at him.\n
âYeah shit. Golden shit. My brotherâs a golden shit.â\n
(T/N: I donât know if I can exactly explains what golden shit is lol)\n
âWhatâs golden shit!â\n
âThe shit that only great people do is called golden shit. Youâre such a noble person, arenât you?â\n
ââŠYou know how ugly you are.â\n
âYeah. My brother is more ugly.â\n
âWhat?â\n
âStupid. Golden shit. You shit.â\n
As soon as I said golden shit, Jenoâs eyes glistened in anticipation, stiffened his face for a moment, and yelled at me. But that doesnât scare me.\n
âHey!â\n
âWhy! Donât bleh me. Bleh!â\n
I ran back to hold Lisbethâs hand and looked at Jeno who was huffing like a rhino as if he wasnât going to leave me alone. I canât believe I feel so happy when I tease Jeno once a day. Jenoâs face turned red and huffed, but what is he going to do? My dad the emperor told him not to touch me. Fufu.\n
âHey! Are you just going to stand there?â\n
âCatch me! But Iâm going to tell the moment you catch me. You didnât keep your words not to touch me.â\n
âYou⊠This!â\n
âBleh.â\n
As expected, a child is a child. It would have been okay if he had touched me and said he didnât do it, but he canât even come close to me saying heâll keep his promise. Oops, serves you right.\n
