CH 1 BELLA: Waking up in an adulterous body

I stared with trembling eyes at the man pacing back and forth in front of me.

“How adorable, Bella. I asked you to at least maintain the dignity of a countess, and you’ve filled the wardrobe with these things?”

Behind him was a massive collection of adult toys. From relatively common items like handcuffs and whips to all sorts of bizarrely shaped dildos, thin rods, and even glass bottles whose purpose was unclear.

As he picked up a dildo with bumpy protrusions, the man gave a sarcastic smile.

“How did you purchase this? Did you go and pick it out yourself?”

I don’t know.

The man’s eyes narrowed, snake-like.

“You don’t know? Are you still trying to deny it up to this point?”

No, I really don’t know.

Though I felt wronged, I couldn’t tell him the truth, so I just hung my head low.

‘It wasn’t me who bought those.’

Because I only possess her body during the time she’s asleep, which means I’m only in control for half of the day.

Arbella Conte was what you’d call a “sensual woman.” Before marriage, she had a history of numerous affairs with men. Even when she had a specific lover, she didn’t hesitate to engage with other men, to the point that there was a stabbing incident in the royal palace over a love affair.

The rumors spread so far that the king himself intervened.

“Count Conte, you shall become the husband of Lady Arbella Carmen.”

And so, Lady Arbella Carmen became Countess Arbella Conte.

For Count Conte, it was an unexpected shock, but it wasn’t entirely a losing deal for him either. Arbella was a duke’s daughter, the king’s niece, and a significant heiress adored by the elders of her family.

In other words, as long as he turned a blind eye to his wife’s scandalous lifestyle, there was much to gain.

Arbella’s promiscuous sexual lifestyle didn’t change even after she became Countess Conte. When the count tried to stop her from having affairs with noblemen, she openly brought servants into her bedroom.

“Just enjoy life as you please. We only live once; wouldn’t it be a shame not to enjoy it?”

She mocked Count Conte with these words.

I woke up in Arbella Conte’s body three months after her marriage.

Waking up naked, with two men draped over each arm, I felt like fainting again.

‘What is this?’

I was conscious but couldn’t move my body. Just as I thought I had barely escaped that hellish time, I suddenly found myself waking up in an unfamiliar bed.

‘Could it be possession? Or reincarnation?’

That was as far as my thoughts went. As I sat up, liquid started to trickle down my body, and a scream involuntarily escaped my lips.

“What?!”

Only then did I notice the state of my bed. I couldn’t do anything but swallow my scream as I tried to avoid disturbing the two sleeping men.

‘What is this! What’s going on?!’

Did it have to be this explicit?

Just then, as I was shivering, a man I had never seen before embraced me from behind, whispering sweetly.

“Lady Arbella, please stay with me a bit longer.”

‘Excuse me, but who are you?!’

Trembling as I looked at the man holding me, I fainted with a soft “plop.”

‘Please, when I wake up, let it be a different situation. No, wait. What if I get trapped again in that unmoving darkness… No, but still, this is just…’

I didn’t even know how to pray properly, babbling incoherently in my mind.

Please, let me wake up in a different place! No, wait, if I can’t wake up at all, then it’s better to just live in this body… No, but this is just too much…

Maybe the gods heard my strange prayers because when I woke up again, I was still in Arbella Conte’s body.

And again, there were clear signs of a recent rendezvous.

“Ughhh.”

I had possessed a body I found incredibly difficult to handle. I had no experience in these matters.

Grumbling, I scrubbed myself clean.

‘Let’s try to adapt and live well.’

But it didn’t take long for that resolve to shatter.

“What is this…?”

I looked at my body the next day with trembling eyes. Since I was possessing Arbella’s body and had no intention of bringing men into the bedroom, such situations shouldn’t have occurred…

“Why the bed again?”

It took encountering the post-party state of the bedroom about seven times before I fully understood my situation.

It seemed I could only use Arbella’s body for half the day.
