Synopsis
“A story about people who aren’t related by a single drop of blood becoming a family.”
Kim Yoon was a top makeup artist whose career was at its peak—until she died from overwork.
Given a second chance at life, she is reincarnated into the world of her favorite novel, La Vie en Rose. Unfortunately, she ends up possessing Calypse Patuang, the wicked stepmother who tormented the original heroine, Coral.
Determined to turn her life around and become a good mother to Coral, Calypse is suddenly shocked to receive a letter from Macaron, the Empire’s Second Crown Prince, proposing a marriage contract.
Confused because this never happened in the original story, she investigates and discovers the truth:
This isn’t the world of the original La Vie en Rose at all—it’s the world of a fan-created spin-off called Labian Rose.
In this alternate story, the romance centers on Calypse, the original heroine’s mother, and Macaron, the original male lead’s father, characters who played only minor roles in the original novel.
As a result, Calypse’s plan to quietly raise Coral falls apart, and she unexpectedly enters into a one-year contract marriage with Macaron.
Now, Kai—the original male lead—finds that his first love has become his stepsister. Coral, the original heroine, gains a brand-new family. Macaron, the Crown Prince, refuses to inherit the imperial throne. And Calypse strives to become both a loving mother and a successful businesswoman.
