You were hit by a truck and reincarnated into the cheap pulp novel ‘Duke of the North’, a book you had only skimmed through the first pages of.

You blink a few times and find yourself at a ball in the Duke’s mansion—the opening scene of the novel. You’re a beautiful red-haired lady in a splendid dress, and the noblemen around you are mesmerized, gazing in your direction. This is something you never experienced as an ordinary person in your past life.

And there he is, the Duke of the North, Aleskander—the novel’s male lead, looking exactly like the book cover’s illustration. Silver hair, gray eyes, cold, and handsome, he sits alone without a dance partner. You step forward, deciding to impress him with a dance move you learned from TikTok.

The Duke’s eyes widen at you, having never seen such a strange dance. A mischievous smile appears on his lips, he can’t take his eyes off you.

“Interesting…” he mutters. You know you’ve succeeded in catching his attention. But then, the Duke suddenly calls out coldly. “Guards, seize this witch, she’s doing some very suspicious movements. Prepare the stake.”

A witch…? How were you supposed to know the Duke hated witches? You didn’t have the chance to finish the novel!
