1st PV:
The South Korean web novel has been serialized in Kakao’s digital comic and fiction platform KakaoPage since September 2016, and its English edition is licensed by Yen Press. The publisher describes its synopsis as below:
Eunha Park thought she was getting another chance at life when she awoke in the world of a novel. The only problem? Raeliana McMillan, the character she was reborn as, is fated to be killed by her fiancé! For the sake of her survival, she comes up with an idea—get into a fake marriage with a man more powerful than her groom-to-be. But when that protection comes in the form of Noah Wynknight, the duke with a warm smile and cold heart, Raeliana realizes she might be a bit in over her head…She’s going to regret this plan, isn’t she?
*In the Japanese edition, the protagonist’s original name before her reincarnation is “Rinko.”
Main Voice cast:
Raeliana McMillan: Yume Miyamoto (Nika Nanaura in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury)
Message:
I met this work through an audition and was thrilled with the brilliant storyline and enjoyed reading it. Personally, all the doors were opening for the first time in many aspects, and there were moments when I worried that I would ruin the fun of this work, but Raeliana’s strength and intelligent thinking saved me many times! There are romantic elements and mystery(?), and I was curious about the rest of the story every week while I was recording, so I hope that this work will become your weekly entertainment.
Noah Voltaire Wynknight: Yuichiro Umehara (Siegfried Kircheis in The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These)
Message:
When I read the original novel, I found the sarcastic dialogue between Noah and Raeliana very interesting, and I really enjoyed playing the role during the recording. The character has many sides to him: an external face, a face he shows to his subordinates, and a face he shows to Raeliana. He is not a straightforward character, but I think you will enjoy the way he gradually opens up his heart to Raeliana, starting from a business relationship. We hope you will watch over Rinko’s tough behavior as she enters the novel.
