That’s when I started feeling anxious, wondering if I had forgotten important events. It felt like wandering in a fog-filled forest path. So, I forced myself to recall and organize my memories.
“The most suspicious things are Ian’s prophetic dream about being crushed by a dragon and the chief servant’s mention of ‘the day the dragon descends to cast magic and then leaves.’ Is all this supposed to be dragon magic?”
The unrealistic existence of ‘dragons’ halted my thoughts, but I decided to write it down anyway. Given the unreal nature of my own situation, the cause might as well be equally unrealistic.
Oddly, I didn’t clearly remember the night the pharmacy caught fire. Strangely, only the memory of being trapped under the dragon clock was vivid.
I think someone entered the pharmacy that night… But with my jumbled memories, I couldn’t blame the fire on an intruder. My memory wasn’t clear enough to risk mistaking an innocent person for the culprit.
“I should write it down anyway.”
As I moved to moisten the pen tip with my tongue, I stopped abruptly.
“Ileina would be horrified if my tongue and teeth turned black.”
The ink used in the pharmacy was cheap and filled with impurities. The pen tip would get clogged with dried ink after writing just a few words.
When writing extensively, I had to moisten the tip with my saliva to prevent the ink from clumping. However, the ink in this mansion was different. It flowed smoothly without the need to moisten the pen. Still, out of habit, I almost wet the tip with my tongue, a habit hard to break after a lifetime of poverty.
Suddenly, I felt irritated.
“Why does that one month’s memory even matter? Adapting to this body is overwhelming enough as it is…”
Frustrated, I tossed the pen onto the paper and grumbled to myself.
“I thought being a noble meant just relaxing and enjoying life… Do we even need rules for breathing?”
Feeling a surge of frustration, I gulped down the cold tea I had poured earlier.
After the physician diagnosed me with memory loss, Ileina decided to re-teach me the basic etiquette of a noble lady from scratch.
I protested, questioning the necessity of such formalities, but it was futile. Nothing is more important to a noble than maintaining appearances, she insisted.
Reluctantly, I nodded in agreement with her firm stance. No longer just Jane the pharmacist, but now Claire the noble lady, I had to accept this new life.
I didn’t resist learning new things and was quick to pick up on anything, so I was confident. I was certain that I would quickly master the etiquette of the nobility. But that was my arrogance and a grand misconception.
When I said I would start with theory from books, Ileina handed me a book titled ‘Society’s Etiquette.’ It was a massive volume of 380 pages.
Seeing my dismayed expression, Ileina matter-of-factly said, “This is this year’s edition. A new revision is published annually, but social trends change even faster, so you need to learn the important things directly. Think of this as a reference for basic etiquette.”
I had been confident about quickly learning, but that was in the context of acquiring new knowledge.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
