Her life was nothing but lies. Camellia was just 12 when she was taken away from her mother in the slums and forced to live as the son of an aristocratic family. But under the layers of secrets and lies, she never forgets. She continues to struggle to be her true self again, to reclaim the life of Camellia.

"Oh my, from childhood friends to an engaged couple! Isn’t that so romantic?" "Yeah. No, it’s not." "You two were always together back in the academy, right?" "Ah, that’s true." It all began during our academy days. I was exhausted from the constant stream of marriage proposals. ‘What about me?’ ‘What?’ ‘As your marriage partner.’ And so, I ended up signing a contract engagement with my friend, Aivert! Thus, we began acting like a couple who couldn’t live without each other. Of course, I can swear that he’s just a friend. But as time passed, and when the end of the contract was approaching… "Soon, I'll be free!" I thought the embarrassing couple act would soon be over! But… —Clank. An unexpected event occurred. I stared, bewildered, at the handcuffs now on both my wrist and Aivert’s. What kind of situation is this? * I thought we’d just be stuck together, and as long as we did our part, everything would be fine. After all, acting as a couple would get easier, right? I kept thinking positively about it, but… Holding the key to the handcuffs, Aivert Royden subtly tilted his head. “If I break this, would you be disappointed?” Rodella’s eyes went wide. The shy and cautious childhood friend from her memories was gone, replaced by a stranger, yet someone familiar. He wore a look that stirred strange feelings in her. "You said it yourself. A madman should be tied up." Clank. He shook his bound wrist. "If I take this off…" If I drift away from you, if I let this opportunity slip away… "I think I might go crazy. What should I do?"

In exchange for clearing off the royal family’s huge debt, Princess Violet was sent to marry Winter, the duke’s illegitimate son.
“I’ve never seen such a wonderful man before in my life.” Although Violet fell in love with her husband at first sight, their arranged marriage was destined to fail from the beginning.
“If it were easy, I wouldn’t have come here. Just this once together…..”
“Do you realize how much money has been moved while you’ve stood here, wasting my time?”
Three years later, Violet wasn’t sure such a busy man would even bother to attend her funeral. When she decided to end it all…
“What’s going on….” Violet blankly stared at herself in the bedroom’s full-body mirror. The person staring back at her was her husband, Winter Blooming. Why did they switch bodies?
“I guess I’ve really gone crazy now.”
