Celebrity Lady

Chapter 2



Chapter 2

Juliet Karenina, the hottest celebrity.

Born to a Korean mother and a British father.

She made her grand debut as a Hollywood child actress at the age of six with her beauty worthy of the title of ‘Global Beauty’.

Since then, through various work activities, she has grown into a powerful actress, giving her the honor of winning three awards for Best Actress in drama, movie, and musical at the Golden Globe Awards, respectively.

In addition, she used her unique sense and fashion sense to successfully launch her personal brand <Blanc De Juliet> at the age of 21.

The very existence of ‘Juliet Karenina’ is the value of the brand.

The sales of Blanc de Juliet, which were soaring higher with each passing day, eventually established her as a multi-billion-dollar entrepreneur with the annual sales, and at the age of 24, she was named one of the ‘World’s 10 Most Influential Rich People’ announced by the New York Times.

Her life, which received attention, jealousy, love, and envy from people around the world, was perfect from the moment she was born, and she did not have a single failure.

It was truly a life that was surprisingly well suited to the words ‘on a solid road’.

…until just yesterday.

What the…

No, wait a moment. Nice words. Kind words.

My mother taught me to be careful with my actions from the moment I started living under the spotlight.

“Mom, I’m sorry.”

But I can’t. This is a situation where you can’t survive without swearing.

I looked into the mirror and rubbed my plump cheeks one way or another.

Oh, she’s a cute pig.

…What am I saying?

No matter how closely you looked at it, the face in the mirror looked more like a premium pig that was well-fed and fattened to be consumed rather than a cute pet pig.

Gorgeous red hair, subtle golden eyes, and vibrant milky skin gave a very aristocratic elegance, but that was all.

Along with the flappy, droopy skin that covered the necklines and emphasized the double chin, she had a flat, broad face that boasted terribly weak facial features.

Even though the figure was wearing an A-line dress, which is quite wide, it was still hard to breathe because it was tight at the back and stomach.

The surprising fact was that the person in the mirror looked like a middle school student at best. No, even more surprising than that…

Calm down, Juliet.”

This fat lady was none other than me, Juliet Karenina.

“She looks less than 160 cm tall, and she weighs 80 kilos? No, I think it’s close to 90.”

I muttered as I gripped my belly, which was swollen like Mount Nam, and then released it.

[Mount Nam: A symbolic mountain located at the heart of Seoul]

Whether it was 80, 90, or 100, I had never weighed that much, so it was difficult to accurately estimate.

“I’m not sure, but this body is extremely obese. Not only because it doesn’t look good, but because diet is essential for health. It won’t be strange if I have a heart attack tomorrow because of high blood pressure.”

I advised the young lady in the mirror with a bitter expression, like a doctor who just diagnoses a complete stranger.

Still, my heart did not calm down.

What on earth is happening?

“How could this be…”

I grabbed the corner of the expensive-looking mirror and cried. The horror was indescribable.

“…me?”

It was exactly eight hours ago that I woke up in this desperate situation.

***

So I was in Korea before I opened my eyes to this body.

“I want to show you my life as a human being, Juliet Karenina, not just as Juliet Karenina as an actress on the screen.”

Gosh, my last retirement announcement was really awesome.

After the announcement of my retirement, which shocked many of my fans around the world, I turned into a small daily YouTuber in my mother’s country.

YouTubers are popular these days.

[Juliet TV, reached 10 million subscribers in one month]

[Juliet Karenina, how long will her influence last?]

[World-class celebrity, Juliet Karenina… 200 million followers on SNS]

[Juliet Karenina, 2 billion won per SNS ad? The ‘trend’ still hasn’t cooled down]

The second act of my life, where I achieved 100 million views for each video I uploaded and made 10 million subscribers in a month, was just about to begin in Korea.

Even that day, I was busy reading the comments of ‘Rubette_pig’ among the thousands of comments that started running as soon as I posted an SNS post.

Rubette_pig You’re really pretty. I envy you so much. A completely different life from mine.

Rubette_pig A pretty face, a slim body, and people around you who love you. I’m jealous. I’m like a pig today.

Rubette_pig I want to live like you for just one day.

I, who was doubtful whether Rubette_pig was a fan or not from the strange ID, thought that they seemed to be a bit of a mentally precarious person.

The last comment I saw from them was also very worrying.

Rubette_pig I decided to die today, Juliet.

“Oh, my lady! You’re awake!”

And when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a young girl dozing off by the bedside.

Since I’ve been in the ranks of celebrity from a very young age, I had a history of suffering from various rumors, death threats, and life-threatening threats that ordinary people could not even imagine.

So, at first, I was like, ‘Is this a kidnapping…’ and tried to calm down.

“What do you want?”

Before I asked, I was pretty sure it should be money.

So, the question was exactly how much would they ask for.

“…Pardon?”

However, after confirming that I was awake, the girl who had brought a white-bearded old man looked at me like she was looking at a madman instead of telling me the purpose of the kidnapping.

It was the same with the old man, who had been sweating all the time. The old man, the doctor, after asking me a few questions, made an absurd diagnosis and said.

[T/N: I swear the literal word is “councilor”, but it’s soooo weird I just had to change it to doctor after a few chapters]

“It looks like you lost your memory in shock.”

As if it wasn’t enough to kidnap a person who had been sleeping well, they even treated me like an amnesiac… At first, I was embarrassed for him to think that he was even doing such a play to extort money.

But after a few conversations with the girl, I was convinced. This is not an ordinary kidnapping, it’s a slightly unrealistic situation.

“So my name is… Rubette? Not Juliet Karenina?”

“My lady…”

“Mirror. Can I look in the mirror? No, I will see for myself.”

At first glance, I noticed that my fingers were fat like swollen fishcakes, but I tried not to believe it until I looked in the mirror with my own eyes.

Something that only happens in movies, something that could never happen to me who was quietly living in the 21st century.

Oh shit…!

But the reality was cold. This wasn’t a dream, I fell asleep and woke up as an unknown girl.

This girl fell into a pond for some reason, lost consciousness, and has just woken up.

The problem was more than that.

If the fat girl and I, who lived on Earth, had swapped bodies—although that was also extremely unrealistic—it might have been more acceptable to some extent.

Well, fantasy movies featuring people who suddenly change bodies have always been the subject of all ages.

But…

“Descarde, you say?”

“Yes, my lady. You are from the family of Duke Diollus, one of the four dukes of the Descarde Empire, the only daughter of Duke Diollus VIII—His Excellency Leonard Diollus—Princess Rubetria Diollus.”

Rebecca, the girl, no, the maid who takes care of this body, had already repeated the same words twenty times, but there was no sign of annoyance.

It seems Rebecca thinks that this fat lady of hers has really lost her memory, and at first glance she seemed to feel sorry for her.

In fact, I was in a situation where I deserve sympathy.

Because this place…

Didn’t seem like the Earth!

The moment I was old enough, I studied history hard because I didn’t want to hear that I was empty-headed while living as a celebrity in the spotlight.

The Descarde Empire? I don’t know…

At least, it was an unknown country that had never existed throughout the history of the West from the past I knew to the present.

“So you don’t know Korea…?”

“Korea?”

“UK, USA, everything?”

“Huh?”

Even primitive tribes living in sheltered regions cannot be unaware of places like England and America.

It wasn’t difficult to admit that this was not the world I knew, since the fact that I had entered another person’s body was just as unrealistic.

Of course, admitting and accepting the shock are two different things.

I sat blankly on the bed for a very long time, hoping ‘this is just a nightmare’, while Rebecca patiently stood by my side.

“If she’s awake, then she’s awake. Why do we have to show our faces in her room?”

“Hey, Lilia. We still have to show up. If we don’t go, we’ll get nagged.”

And the ‘first’ uninvited guests I met appeared when I could no longer deny that this was a reality, not a dream.

“Who did you think would be interested if there was a suicide commotion? What a mess.”

I think they’re about 13 or 14 years old? The beautiful girl with blonde hair and golden eyes picked a fight as soon as she came in.

“You woke up, after all. If I were you, I’d rather die than live as a chubby fat kid.”

A boy of the same age said, dragged a chair, and sat down as if it were his own room.

The two children, who showed clear hostility, looked alike. You can tell even without introducing them as siblings.
