A year later, she’s become so much more beautiful, her childhood love suddenly changes his mind and proposes marriage!? Abigail, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Airey, is a plump young lady with charming fluffy silver hair and large blue eyes. She’s adored by her family, and her childhood friend, Clive, the Duke’s son, always tells her, “You’re beautiful just the way you are.” So Abigail has been confidently pursuing her plump life. But then, one day, when she’s seventeen, Clive says something completely unexpected to her. “…Maybe you should lose some weight?” Shocked by these unexpected words, Abigail re-evaluates her health and decides to go on a diet! Undeterred by her family’s barrage of sweets, eager to give her treats, she perseveres with effort and determination—and a year later, she’s finally achieved a slim figure. She’s become the center of attention in high society, and men who previously ignored her suddenly start proposing to her. And then, even Clive…suddenly proposed to me in public at the ball!? Being proposed to by my first love is like a dream. But proposing to me as soon as I lost weight? Does he really only care about my appearance? What if I gain weight again…? Amidst her confusion, there’s something strange about Clive’s behavior… ■Book Information The young lady has slimmed down through dieting, but she can’t believe that her childhood friend and first love has proposed marriage to her!
