Chapter 2

‘How is a person supposed to eat this?’

Between the hard bread that was difficult to chew, a single withered cucumber.

A bit of strangely colored butter that was clearly about to spoil.

This carelessly prepared breakfast tasted absolutely terrible.

‘I wasn’t even hoping for steak, but this is too much.’

I want to eat cup noodles or triangle kimbap at least…

Not this cold, old food!

After forcing myself to fill my hunger and going to the bathroom, naturally ice-cold bathwater was prepared.

I dipped my hand slightly into the old bathtub and shivered.

‘It’s freezing!’

If this were the Frazier Family, even a foal wouldn’t wash its body with such ice water.

At this point, something felt strange.

‘Was Tulia really this poor?’

I understood that Marquis Frazier, Tulia’s father, was a petty man who didn’t send child support to his daughter.

But right now, Tulia was staying at the Grand Duke’s Castle.

‘Then shouldn’t there at least be a budget for maintaining minimum dignity?’

Even if she wasn’t living luxuriously, it didn’t make sense for the Grand Duke’s legitimate granddaughter to be living such a beggar-like life.

I had a strong feeling that something was wrong. This was just my intuition as Han Ina, who had grown up eating scraps at home since childhood.

No, even when I first started as Coriko, I didn’t live this miserably.

Even though Coriko was in the position of an illegitimate child who was looked down upon for having slave blood mixed in.

“Ugh, it’s cold…”

Even though I only washed my face, my body was trembling like an aspen tree.

I buried myself under the blanket and waited for my body temperature to return, then apparently fainted.

‘What?’

When I opened my eyes at a small presence, I saw the back of a maid quickly escaping outside the door.

“Excuse me…”

Even though I called out drowsily, the maid didn’t look back and the door slammed shut!

An attitude like isolating a plague patient.

Anyone could see she was blatantly avoiding Tulia, who was clearly the master.

I might understand when Tulia was picking out maids without connections to sell them off, but right now she was just a poor young lady who didn’t even know what such things were.

In other words, this was completely disrespecting Tulia.

Whether freezing to death, starving to death, or dying from being ignored.

I had no intention of choosing any of those three. I, who had been buried deep under the blanket, immediately jumped up.

Right.

“Don’t underestimate my N years of Secret Bread experience.”

Thanks to playing for a very long time, I knew well who was in charge of the internal household affairs of Frazier Grand Duchy, which rivaled the current Imperial Family.

Just as I took a step to go find him.

“…?!”

I was so startled that I froze in place. I had no choice.

“What is this?”

A translucent status window began floating in the air.

[System: Status Window]

Tulia Frazier (15 years old)

-Coins Owned: 1,000

Stats

-Character: -10

-Beauty: 8

-Ability: -10

-Wealth: -9

-Luck: -10

Overall Rating: F-

My eyes widened.

Was I dreaming while standing? I stared blankly for a moment.

A strange sense of déjà vu struck me.

‘I’ve seen this screen somewhere before.’

The memory that had been blurry like ink mixed in water suddenly became clear.

“Could it be The Secret Bread…?”

Suddenly, my eyes widened. I remembered belatedly.

This was the interface screen of that I had played until I died.

Simply put, a status window.

Why on earth was this appearing before my eyes? Was I seeing things? A thought occurred to me unconsciously.

“Could it be that like in the game, I’m supposed to raise Tulia instead of Coriko…”

That couldn’t be…

“…!”

Suddenly, full-color text appeared before my eyes like a megaphone.

[System: Main Quest Activated!]

Main Content: Karma Liquidation

You are trash!

You have no money, bad luck, and are hated by everyone!

(Except for one person) No one loves you!

Goal: Achieve A-rank before the ‘real one’ appears!

Upon failure: Death

The intense word ‘death’ snapped me to attention.

I hurriedly came to my senses and read the text floating in the air again.

Goal: Achieve A-rank before the ‘real one’ appears!

A-rank? Before the real one appears?

Something suddenly clicked.

“Could it be Coriko…?”

It must be referring to Coriko, the original protagonist of .

And that’s how the original content of goes too.

The story begins when Coriko enters this family.

In other words, I need to achieve A-rank and survive before Coriko appears…

Isn’t the difficulty too harsh?

I looked at the status window once more with despairing eyes.

[System: Status Window]

Tulia Frazier (15 years old)

-Coins Owned: 1,000

Stats

-Character: -10

-Beauty: 8

-Ability: -10

-Wealth: -9

-Luck: -10

Overall Rating: F-

‘Is it even possible to survive with such terrible stats? And how am I supposed to achieve A-rank?’

Coriko, the original protagonist of , had a much lower difficulty level for development.

Not only were her starting stats much better, but her overall rating also started at C, right in the middle.

Unless you were deliberately trying to see a hidden ending, even getting an F- was extremely difficult.

Moreover, to achieve A-rank, I would inevitably have to get involved with the Male Leads…

Bang bang!

It was then that the bedroom door burst open with a sound that seemed like it would break the wood.

“Hey, beggar.”

This guy whose face was full of the desire to pick a fight was none other than Tedrick.

I never expected to see him first.

He was Tulia’s cousin, and his father, Viscount Lilius, was the younger brother of Tulia’s father, Marquis Frazier.

Viscount Lilius was in charge of the internal affairs of the Grand Duke’s castle.

‘How did he know I was going to look for his father and come here first like this?’

This guy Tedrick Frazier clearly harbored tremendous hostility toward Tulia.

‘Ah, right.’

In , he and Tulia had a very bad relationship too.

Tulia bullied Coriko, and Tedrick constantly clashed with her while protecting Coriko.

But now there’s no Coriko here, so why is he coming to pick a fight like this?

Just looking at his expression, this guy Tedrick Frazier seemed more like the villain.

When I just stared at him quietly, Tedrick glared with both eyes, apparently annoyed.

“What’s this beggar staring with her eyes wide open for?”

Thanks to Tulia’s memories flowing in, I could easily predict what this guy would say next.

First, criticism of Tulia’s living situation.

“By the way, your warehouse… no, your castle looks like it’s falling apart every time I see it.”

Next, criticism of Tulia’s circumstances.

“Well, I guess it can’t be helped since Grandfather gave you indefinite house arrest.”

Finally, criticism of Tulia’s life.

“Hey, wait. But it’s true that your father abandoned you, so what was so unfair that you caused such a scene at the banquet? That’s why you can’t escape this beggar-like state. How embarrassing.”

‘Ah, this bastard.’

Today was the same unchanging pattern as always.

Honestly, I didn’t know when I was just playing the game. But now that I’ve become Tulia, I couldn’t understand it at all.

Why exactly were all the Frazier Family members except Tulia portrayed as kind supporting characters in ?

Do these kinds of people act like angels to Coriko?

Or does the female protagonist’s buff influence even these people and turn them into angels?

Even this guy who constantly mocks Tulia for living in a warehouse instead of a castle?

“Hey! Are you ignoring me? This abandoned beggar sure has incredible pride!”

When I didn’t react, Tedrick’s voice rose, apparently thinking he was being ignored.
