Not a Lady

‘Excuse me, do you use a whip to punish servants when they make mistakes?’

The moment she asked that, she would be treated like a complete lunatic. Learning of the eccentric behavior of his far-too-adorable, apple-of-his-eye fiancée, Marquis Rivers was at his wit’s end.

It bothered him, but he couldn’t exactly ask about it outright……

Five months had passed of dragging it out like that.

Ariesha, for her part, had her own misunderstanding of him.

Composed one moment, tender the next, contemptuous the moment after that. Her fiancé’s gaze shifted wildly, up and down without warning.

Could it be that he was trying to win her favor because he was after her family’s fortune, but his heart just wasn’t in it?

This man. What a completely rotten scoundrel.

Male Lead: Raymon – A marquis with black hair and violet eyes. While actively pursuing an engagement with Ariesha, whom he fell for at first sight, he witnesses her “unladylike” eccentric behavior and finds himself thrown into confusion.

Female Lead: Ariesha – A noble young lady with wavy brown hair and emerald eyes. She has already caused far too much trouble to ever live as a proper, well-behaved lady. In order to escape her ex-fiancé, who refuses to let her go quietly, she made a choice she could hardly believe herself. And that “act of madness” was witnessed, of all people, by her second fiancé.

Recommended When: You’re in the mood for a romantic comedy where two people keep missing each other due to ridiculous misunderstandings, only to finally become sickeningly sweet after all the fumbling and chaos.

Signature Quote:

“How could I possibly ask you something like that when I have feelings for you? Did you think I was at ease either? I wanted to believe you. I wanted to believe there was some reason behind it all. But to trust blindly… I haven’t known you for very long. I was the only one who had fallen head over heels and gotten carried away — we had barely exchanged more than a few proper words. How far am I supposed to trust and defend someone I hardly know?”
