Shall We Bathe, Your Grace?

Nadia awakens to a nightmare she never anticipated: she has been transported into the pages of a romance fantasy novel where personal hygiene is not merely neglected, but actively despised. Everywhere she turns, she is assaulted by unwashed hair, grimy fingernails, and the nauseating combination of heavy perfumes attempting to mask overwhelming body odor. For someone who values cleanliness, this world is nothing short of a living hell. Desperate to survive in a society that treats bathing as an abhorrent practice, Nadia sets her sights on a single beacon of hope—Duke Cartane. Remarkably, he stands out as the one man in this entire fictional realm who does not reek. Armed with an unconventional proposal to marry him under the promise that they could bathe twice a day, she approaches the Duke with a plea for salvation from her fragrant torment. Now, Nadia must convince the aristocratic duke to embrace her radical ideas about soap and water. If she can win his cooperation, she might just scrub away the grime of this bizarre world and secure the squeaky-clean happy ending she so desperately craves.
