At the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, drama accounted for a large part of entertainment in people's hearts. Regardless of whether they are nobles or poor people, as long as there is a play, everyone loves to watch it. It was during this period that drama became a very great art, and Britain also produced many excellent writers, one of whom was Shakespeare.
James, the Earl of Derby's only son, nicknamed Jamie, is a big theater fan. Since he was a child, he went to the theater with his mother and always dreamed of becoming an actor on stage and expressing his feelings about the story. Since women could not perform on stage at that time, all female roles in plays were played by young men. However, Jamie was more attracted by this art and determined to be an outstanding 'heroine'.
Character introduction:
[Jamie, Viscount James Derby]
As a child, I fell in love with the role of Ophelia after watching a performance of Shakespeare's play, and since then I have hoped to play this role on stage. Unfortunately, his father hated him for pretending to be a woman, so in order to fulfill his wish, he secretly became an actor in an outside theater troupe as "Mark Burton". The only person who knew about it was a man who had known Tom since childhood.
[Tom Mu Burton]
He was a member of a troupe hired by the Countess of Derby. Because the troupe was favored by the Countess, he lived at Derby House as an employee. He and Jamie were the same age and had similar interests, so they became good friends. He is also the only one who supports Jamie. I kind of like Jamie but don't dare to say it, but Jamie seems to be in the dark.
[Carlotta Bianqi]
An Italian girl who is very proficient in drama and various cultures. She lives alone in England, seemingly heartless and innocent, and no one knows her true origins. Originally, they became friends because of their affinity with the Countess of Derby. Later, they met Jamie but have been deliberately getting close to him. What is their intention? What secret is hidden behind this exotic beauty?
