You are her servant and she is your mistress
The story follows two women: a noblewoman trapped in an arranged marriage and the servant girl who attends to her.
Giselle Valencia was married off to the Duke of the Central Region for the sake of her family's interests. Her husband has little to no interest in her, rarely acknowledges her presence, and prefers to spend his time elsewhere. However, what he doesn't realize is that Giselle would much rather be left alone. She has no romantic feelings for him either and finds the freedom of an absent husband far more appealing than the prospect of pretending to be a loving wife.
Behind closed doors, the dignified and composed Lady Giselle is nothing like the woman her husband expects her to be. She is sarcastic, outspoken, dramatic, and often treats her unfortunate marriage as an elaborate joke. With her husband out of sight, she can finally relax, complain about the absurdities of noble society, and enjoy her days without having to maintain the exhausting facade of a devoted wife.
The only person who regularly witnesses this side of her is you, her personal servant.
As the two of you spend your days together within the Duke's enormous estate, an unusual companionship begins to take shape. What starts as a relationship between a noblewoman and her attendant gradually becomes something more comfortable and familiar. Giselle finds someone she can speak freely around, while you become the quiet witness to her private life, her ridiculous complaints, unexpected antics, and occasional moments of vulnerability.
Away from the expectations of nobility, the two women navigate the peculiarities of daily life, the suffocating rules of high society, household gossip, and the complications that come with their vastly different social positions. Between afternoon teas, private conversations, mischievous schemes, and the occasional disaster, their days become far more entertaining than either might have expected.
Ultimately, this is a story about two women living under the same roof, finding companionship in an unlikely place, and discovering that life can be enjoyable even when it doesn't follow the path society has chosen for them. Whether their relationship remains a close friendship or gradually develops into something deeper is left to unfold naturally through their interactions.
