She had become the peasant girl who neither had family nor friends in a small village.



But that's okay!



She can just fulfill her dreams as a baker in this new world!



One day, she meets an injured man in the woods. She knew this man! He's Min Eunsu, her best friend from her original world! But what was he doing here and why did his clothes look so expensive?



From the creator of I Choose The Villain Duke comes a transmigration story of second chances and innocent love.



Excerpt:

The tall bush at her right side rustled and something big came out!

"Go away!" Peach shouted while shutting her eyes and swinging her basket in front of her.

THUCK!

Her basket hit something.

She nervously opened her eyes.

Huh?

It wasn't a beast.

It was a hooded man and Peach had just hit him with all her might.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Peach said.

THUD!

The man suddenly collapsed on the ground. He wasn't moving.

Oh no.

Did she just hit an elderly person? Or a sick person?!

"Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Please be okay! I'm so sorry. Did I hit you too hard?!" Peach said as she crouched down beside the hooded man.

Blood.

Peach gasped.

His shirt was full of blood and he was still bleeding.

"We have to stop the bleeding. Please don't die," Peach said.

The man suddenly grabbed her wrist. Peach jolted up in surprise.

"W-who..." The man said weakly.

The man struggled to sit up. As he did, his hood fell down, revealing his face. Peach's eyes widened in shock.

Hair as black as a moonless night, stern-looking eyes with long dark lashes, and a very, very handsome face.

"Eunsu!" Peach exclaimed.

The man narrowed his eyes at her.

Heavily injured in front of Peach was someone she knew very well. Someone Peach dearly missed and didn't expect to see again.

"Eunsu! Why are you here?! No, wait. Let me treat you first. Argh! You're bleeding too much! Stop moving!" Peach said.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Shush. Let's talk later," Peach said and tore the ends of her skirt.

"W-what are you doing?!"

"Shush. Stay still. I don't have a bandage here so this will do for now," Peach said and began wrapping his chest with the fabric of her skirt.

Peach helped him walk back to her cottage. She half-carried him and half-dragged him. It was very difficult for her but she pressed on. The woods were too dangerous at night and she had to treat his wounds as soon as possible. Good thing she had stocked up on some first aid stuff in her cottage.

She managed to bring him in and she let him down on her sofa. He was unconscious again but he was breathing heavily. She had to hurry.

Peach worked tirelessly that night to save the man she brought in to her home. She cleaned his wounds, applied ointments on them, and bandaged him up too. She wiped down his face and his arms with a wet cloth as he was getting feverish already. Once his fever went down several hours later, Peach sat on the floor beside the sofa where Eunsu was sleeping.

She touched his forehead again.

Good. No more fever.

Peach smiled.

She didn't expect to ever see him again. She had missed him so much. Her best friend in the whole world.

She closed her eyes as fatigue came over her, lulling her to sleep.

Her precious secretary from her past life.
