I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter

At first, Varia had only started studying muscles because she wanted to get closer to Leonia.

But somewhere along the line, she fell head over heels for the illustrations of Ferio’s muscles in the anatomy guide, and before she knew it, she was whispering muscle names to herself while running her hands over her own body.

She still couldn’t forget the thrill she felt when, murmuring “biceps,” she successfully located her own.

It had been so long since she felt that kind of rush.

For someone like Varia, whose life had always revolved around study and physical training, this was the birth of a brand-new hobby.

And that was the problem.

She should be drafting countermeasures against the Imperial family, House Olor, and House Erbanu. She needed to gather intel and make a formal proposal to Ferio. She even had to prepare Leonia’s private tutoring sessions.

She was swamped—so swamped it felt like even two bodies wouldn’t be enough.

‘I get it now. I really get how the young miss feels.’

Varia slowly traced her finger over the illustration of Ferio’s thigh in the dictionary.

‘So beautiful.’

Muscles were like flowers that bloomed with effort as their fertilizer.
