The Fake Lady and Her Rabbit Duke

Grand Duke Hadelrune de Strelitz is celebrated as the empire’s greatest hero, while Lady Zernoa de Rhanterra shines as the undisputed golden flower of high society. To the rest of the aristocracy, these two luminous figures share nothing beyond their impeccable reputations. Yet beneath their polished public images lies a shared foundation of carefully guarded secrets that neither could have anticipated connecting them. Their hidden worlds collide when Zernoa stumbles upon an unassuming pile of discarded clothing. Concealed beneath the fabric, she discovers not a lost pet, but an adorable rabbit that is shockingly revealed to be Grand Duke Hadelrune himself. This bizarre transformation unravels the first thread of a much larger mystery, exposing vulnerabilities that both nobles have fought desperately to conceal from the world. Bound together by this startling discovery, the two must navigate a treacherous web of deception. Between the ancient family curse afflicting the Grand Duke and the entirely fictitious upbringing surrounding the Lady, their alliance becomes a fragile necessity. As they work to protect one another's truths, they are left to wonder just how many more secrets lie buried beneath their glittering facades.
