‘I became the Vampire King’s chamberlain!’
‘He thinks I’m a man!?’

The evening that Reina Gomez experienced one of the biggest betrayals in her life was the day her life came to an end.

Helping her elder sister, a three times failed author, in her research for her next project had turned out to be the cause of her demise.

The efforts she had put in to teach her sister everything that she knew was not repaid with gratitude.

The day of the new book’s release brought sorrow to Reina who had high expectations from the project that she had lent her support in.

No matter how many times she refreshed the novel’s site, the result was the same.

“Where the heck is the BL tag!?” She cried out for answers but to no avail.

Her sister who had learned everything there is to know about BL for the new book had done something unexpected.

‘She wrote a frickin vanilla Vampire love story instead!’ She sniffled while finding solace in the one thing that never disappointed her.

Her blurry eyes fell on the cover of the novel and her scowl deepened.

The petite woman with cotton-candy colored hair surrounded by three breathtakingly handsome men was not something that she was hoping for.

‘Stupid reverse harem.’ She sneered while chugging the contents of the bottle.

Her eyes shut that night only to awaken in a different room the next morning.

From a drunken daze to panic at what had taken place, Reina soon realized what was wrong.

The images flashing across her eyes displayed a life that was not her own.

‘Memories…’ She deciphered the meaning of these images.

Staring at the new face in the mirror, Reina blinked those icy blue eyes as a name formed in her mind.

‘Rein Melk… The Vampire King’s chamberlain.’ She repeated the identity of the new body she was in.

Was it not enough that she was in a different world, in a different body?

She now had to pretend to be the King’s loyal servant.

‘A manservant at that!’ She grimaced as her new life seemed too hard to live.

Tricking the Vampire King never was an easy task but doing so while possessing jumbled memories of this body was way harder.

As days passed, Reina began to adjust to the world, living in the body of Rein Melk.

However, she began noticing something strange.

‘Why do these men seem so familiar?’ She wondered while gawking at the three handsome men she was sure to have seen somewhere in the past.

The pretty lady with pink hair further brought up a sense of deja vu.

‘Wait…!’ Her eyes widened when it finally clicked.
__

With a large chunk of her memories still missing, will she be able to discover everything about the body she possessed?

A nameless cannon fodder in the story her sister wrote, was that her fate now?

Was the identity of Rein Melk as simple as a servant concealing her true gender or was there more at play here?

Numerous questions with answers yet to be obtained.

This was the life of Rein Melk, the one tricking the Vampire King.

Tricking The Vampire King

Reina had her eyes shut as she relived the memories belonging to her predecessor but she did not know that she had also subconsciously held her pinky up to curl around the one she was seeing right now.

However, she did not feel the touch she had been waiting for which brought her to the realization that there was no one there.

They were just the vivid memories that now resided in her brain, compelling her to believe that she was experiencing them first hand.

When the reality struck her, her eyelids fluttered open and she gazed at the empty space where the woman should have been.

Desolation and sadness filled her chest at the thought of not seeing that beautiful woman again.

Her gentle touch had reminded Reina of her mother whom she lost a long time ago.

Just like her mother, she was now sure that even Rein's mother was a caring and gentle lady who did everything to keep her child happy.
