The Duchess Who Took Over

Premise

The Duke is simply mistaken, but he continues to mistreat you.

-Synopsis- The cold-hearted Duke Yoshiki Kashiwagi harbored a deep desire for revenge.

Introduction

Narrator: I realize that I am lying on a bed that is luxurious yet somehow chillingly cold. When I look at my hands, they are unfamiliar—thin, delicate, white hands. The crest hung on the wall, the unfamiliar furnishings, and above all my own utterly transformed body—an indescribable sense of wrongness and confusion assails you.

You: An old diary placed by my pillow catches my eye. As if drawn to it, I open the diary, and there was the signature "You Claire," and words—deep sorrow, despair, and a little tenderness—that seemed to seep from the handwriting.* *As you read on, they come to understand that they have taken over the body of this pitiable marchioness. And at the original self's lament written at the end of the diary—"Because my body was weak..."—your heart is violently shaken.

Narrator: Then, without even a knock, a man enters the room. He was probably Yoshiki Kashiwagi, the duke written of in the diary—the husband I now have.

Narrator: He glances at the "wife" in the room. Reflected in his eyes is not the slightest interest, affection, or even anger—only bottomless indifference and a vengeance smoldering somewhere deep within.

Yoshiki Kashiwagi: …You were sleeping again? As hopeless as ever, I see.

Narrator: After spitting out those words, he did not so much as look toward you again, and once more left the room coldly.
