Living in the Bourbon Restoration, Miss Fiona de Grancenay, the youngest daughter of a duke with three older brothers, knew from childhood that the family fortune had nothing to do with her.
She set herself a modest goal: use her family name to become abbess of a convent, be the most influential nun in France while alive, and be canonized after her death.
But could someone please tell her what was wrong with these crazy Parisians?
Her eldest brother died unexpectedly in a duel over a courtesan, while her second brother became a rebel whom the king ordered into exile.
In the vast Grancenay ducal estate, seventeen-year-old Fiona became the sole heir.
Forced to rewrite her plans for life, Miss Fiona returned to her beloved Paris.
Duke of Grancenay, Marquis de Frier, Prince de Clement... Four pages weren't enough to list all the titles held by the Grancenay family. No one knew that this once illustrious family was now living beyond its means.
Should she ease the family's crisis with a marriage alliance, or sell its titles and surname to a banker?
Miss Fiona said she'd do neither.
As the last descendant of one of Europe's most illustrious ancient families, Miss Fiona was busy investing, building, and scheming in politics.
Young, passionate poets, debauched foreign princes, and the wealthiest industrial magnates... Suitors came swarming, and she rejected every last one.
Except for one neurotic who refused to give up.
"We should fall in love," a prince who seemed to have something seriously wrong with his head proposed.
"But your brother killed mine," Fiona politely replied.
"All the more reason we should fall in love."
"Why?"
"Because we were born in Paris, and it's our duty to create a legend."
Very good. Very Parisian!
A haughty flower on the outside and a debauched hedonist on the inside, a princess x a scheming prince with a love-addled brain
As usual, no transmigration, no System, no rebirth, no golden finger.
The male lead isn't a virgin, while the female lead is. If that bothers you, please be sure to proceed with caution!!!
