Slowly Isabella got used to this different morning. Rooms, houses, atmosphere, and this foreign place.

As he remembered, he was in charge of protecting the children of their leaders who had just returned from abroad. Then that's when some hit men attacked them.The son of their leader managed to survive. But Isabella died at the scene, having been shot while trying to escape her leader's son. Even the pain of the bullet that pierced Isabella's head back then was still evident. 

And when Isabella opened her eyes, it turned out that she had incarnated into a poor antagonist, in a classic romance novel that she had just read 3 days before she died, luckily Isabella has not forgotten the storyline in this novel.

The novel is titled 'She's not Cinderella' which tells about Baroness Isabella Abraham. An 18-year-old girl who is infatuated with handsome men, she spends a lot of money just to spend the night with a few gigolos. 

Even when all his wealth was exhausted, his habit was still not lost. Having no money left, he instead turned to harassing the handsome men or gigolos he met on the street, and because of this many nobles until the common people hated him.

But not long ago, Isabella was picked up by many knights from the Duke Abraham family, and it turns out that Isabella was the biological child of the duke. It was there that Isabella's new life began.

He squandered the duke's wealth by buying many slaves and handsome gigolos, even he did not bear to seduce the crown prince who is the fiance of his adopted sister.

The longer Isabella's attitude gets more outrageous, she lives by assuming she is the most precious woman, simply because she is the daughter of Duke Abraham who is respected by many nobles.

Due to that thought, he made the servants in the duke's residence not like humans anymore. Even he no longer respected the duke, if the duke forbade or yelled at him he would bring up the past that would make the duke shut up instantly. 

Seeing the father in distress, Vanessa as Isabella's adoptive sister and the female protagonist in the novel, finally intervened to give the sister advice. But unfortunately, Isabella viciously punished Vanessa. Wh why? of course because he felt Vanessa had tried to replace her position as a duke.

When Isabella's cruel treatment of Vanessa reached the crown prince's ear, the crown prince came with the knight's entourage. He was shocked and could not stand the cruelty of Isabella, especially when he saw Isabella had made Vanessa on the verge of death. Without thinking, the crown prince also sentenced Isabella to death.

When Isabella's sentence was set, the duke who was at the border as soon as he received the news immediately rushed home. He quickly returned to the capital and went to beg for the emperor's mercy, knowing that Isabella had acted too late. But the duke does not want to lose his daughter, however, Isabella's attitude in his eyes will not change the reality, if Isabella is part of his life.

The emperor knew how loyal Duke Abraham was to the empire only that the decision was not in his hands. The decision is in the hands of the crown prince, and the crown prince will not lift the sentence after he sees what has happened to Vanessa.

The Duke, who did not know what to do, could only lock himself in his room and cry until the time of Isabella's death sentence arrived. Unconscious Vanessa had no idea what had happened to her father and brother, and when she realized Duke Abraham's family was no more.

The duke destroyed his residence and gave all of his property to the emperor, after which the duke disappeared like it was swallowed by the earth. Vanessa did not know Isbaella's death or her father's departure, it became the biggest secret covered by the crown prince of Vanessa. The crown prince just wants Vanessa to be happy, and live well.

First of all Isabella's purpose in life is to get rich first and then leave this village, so the duke will not find her. But before, what should he do with this pile of cake ingredients? The original Isabella intends to open a cake shop to attract the attention of handsome men unfortunately Isabella who currently does not know how to make cakes. He never even held a dough mixer once in his life.

If later he sells all these materials, not necessarily anyone will buy it. The original Isabella opened a cake shop and caught the attention of a gigolo, they made a cake together. But because Isabella abused her, she left and never came back. After 2 months there was news that the man was bought by the count to be his concubine. If calculated from now he still had 3 months before the man was bought by the count. So that he can also open the figure of the cake, then he must first buy the man.

But from where Isabella can get 10,000 gold coins, the man is the best gigolo in Lady Ishina's flower house. Isabella's real money saved up won't even be enough to eat for a week, then how about buying the man? never mind, forget it. Isabella did not want to think long, she went out of the house to find fresh air so she could think calmly.

Isabella walked around looking at a place that could make a lot of money, until she finally found a large building with the inscription 'Guild Rabbit'. From the name alone can guess this must be the place of the mercenary knights. But if Isabella entered with her identity now, then she would definitely be expelled before even setting foot inside there.

"Oh my goodness .. look who this is," taunted Aretha at the sight of Isabella.

Aretha is one of the antagonistic shops that became the enemy of Isabella, they are the enemy in collecting the most male concubines. Even in this hot weather he walked with some men attached to him, wasn't he sultry? you strange woman, did not she know if she who walks with her concubines will only spoil the scenery.

Rather than serving her it was better for Isabella to go undercover. He never thought if in his previous life, and now life, how to quickly get money still remains the same.

"Stop there you barren woman" cried Aretha. His screams made Isabella's neck as if suffocated, the love of Isabella who was not even married. But he was instead said to be barren by others, it made him very upset.

Isabella finally turned around and walked towards him, at least Isabella had to straighten out the dirty thoughts of this woman before leaving.

"Why did you come back? are you interested in all of my handsome concubines?" ask Aretha confidently.

"Who said I'm interested in a guy who looks like that woman? Seeing that they had lost my taste, they looked like a frail and weak woman. If you walk together like this, it is clear that the walking is a group of women, hahahahaha .." Ejek Isabella who laughed happily.

"You …." Aretha held back her anger until her face turned red like a tomato.

"Why? am I wrong? advice from me, look for a burly man not a man who only knows to whine," he said as soon as passed from the front of Aretha.

"Take a look at you later!" yelling annoyed Aretha.

It felt very satisfied after ridiculing the woman all-out, this was not bad at all even to make Isabella's heart happy again.
