146 pages total (138 main + 3 bonus + 1 color illustration + info pages, etc.)

When Stella was young, her family and her home were stolen from her.

As she fled with her servants, she was rescued by none other than Count Shvef — the man who was responsible for her plight in the first place. And so she came to live in the home of her father’s bitter rival, all the while, secretly planning her revenge… Until the count’s eldest son, Michel, took a liking to her.

He wasn’t a particularly capable man, and was rather spoiled, so Stella became his caretaker. Eventually, even the count became like family to her. With Michel’s social debut looming, our heroine decided to leave the mansion. But on the night of Michel’s debutante ball, he summoned her… and his entire demeanor changed.

She suddenly found herself waking up, wearing an unfamiliar dress in an unfamiliar mansion. Michel knew she was planning to leave him. And he knew he couldn’t let that happen. No matter what, he’s going to make Stella his bride…
