"Ma'am, you are already married; you can't register your marriage." A voice echoed in Sophia's ears.
Before she could recognize anything, she was spun around, and a stinging pain hit her cheek; someone had just slapped her!
"What the heck?!" Sophia yelped, stumbling back a little.
She blinked hard, and everything around her slowly came into focus.
She was in some kind of government office—old fans spinning on the ceiling, a dusty desk, and two angry-looking aunties whispering in the corner like gossip detectives.
In front of her stood a tall man in a neat suit, glaring at her like she just kicked his puppy.
The man shouted, "Why did you lie to me, Cecilia?! You told me you were single!"
Cecilia? Sophia blinked. "Who's—oh crap. That's me now."
A little pop-up appeared in the corner of her vision, like a video game status box.
[Loading Background....]
[Loading completed.]
[Background: Cecilia was the adopted daughter of the wealthy Parker family. She was a substitute for the real daughter of the Parker family. After the real daughter's return, Ceilia was framed repeatedly, and in the end, the head of the Parker family kicked her out. The real daughter was still not satisfied, so the heir of the Parker Family forced Ceilia to get married to the underworld mafia known for his cruelty. Ceilia ran away with her childhood sweetheart, Archer. At the time of registration, it turned out that Ceilia was already married.]
"Ah...what a tragic life," Sophia muttered.
She looked at the man named Archer, who had brown hair, a brown beard, and fair skin. He could have been considered handsome if not for his scrawny frame.
Sophia's first reaction was rolling her eyes.
This was childhood sweetheart Cecilia loved? Man!
"System, was Cecilia blind?" Sophia asked.
[No host. Why are you asking that? Is there any issue with your vision?]
"Because she can't see sh*t! What type of childhood sweetheart hits their own love? He didn't ask a question and directly slapped her! B*stard!"
"Cecilia! I am asking something." Archer asked with disdain in his eyes.
Sophia rolled her eyes, stood up, and without hesitation, slapped him back.
The sound of Sophia's slap echoed through the room like a firecracker on New Year's Eve.
Archer stumbled back, holding his cheek with wide eyes. "Y-You hit me?!"
Sophia narrowed her eyes, her hand still in the air like a proud warrior. "Yeah, and if you say one more dumb thing, I'll make sure your other cheek matches."
Gasps exploded from the gossip aunties in the corner. One of them whispered.
"What a shameless woman! She had already married someone else, and when her fiance slapped her for marrying someone else, she slapped him back and even acting unreasonable now."
Sophia turned toward the woman and smiled,
"Auntie, you are the reason why the noise pollution is increasing so much. Do a favor on earth and shut your mouth."
The woman: "..."
Archer, who was watching from the sideline, was instantly angry,
"Cecilia! How dare you talk with my mother like that."
"You mean to say this loudmouth is your mother?" Sophia asked in a surprised tone.
"You!" Archer was furious. He held Sophia's arms and shook her violently,
"Cecilia, did you forget the family rule? You should never talk back against my mother! She raised me and...."
"And I should respect her even if she tarnishes my reputation. Even if her stupid son slaps me." Sophia completed his statement with a bored expression.
She patted his shoulder and said,
"Bro, just chill. Let me deal with this mess first."
Turning toward the receptionist, she asked,
"Whom have I married?"
"Sorry, the name is not mentioned here." The receptionist said in a calm voice.
Sophia chuckled,
"Really? So, even the marriage bureau doesn't know whom I am married to."
"Ma'am, there are certain individuals whose names are kept hidden for security reasons." The receptionist maintained the polite smile on her face.
"How about marriage photo?" Sophia proposed.
The receptionist shook her head again.
"System, what is going on?" Sophia asked.
[Host for this you need to understand the cause and effect. The real host died after Archer found out that Cecilia was already married. He beat her up and asked her to commit suicide if she had any shame. Now I will brief you about the mission.]
[Mission for this world:
1) Find the mystery behind this marriage.
2) Take revenge on the Parker family and Archer.
3) Find a loving husband~]
