I Became the Grand Duke’s Beloved Plushie
내가 대공님의 애착 인형이라니Synopsis
In the rural east of the Loroa Empire lives the cutest girl of all—Piani Rive.
One day, she goes out to meet her crush, Delice, only to be attacked by a stranger.
When she opens her eyes… huh? She’s suddenly turned into a doll—
and not even a nice one, but a cheap-looking cotton plushie!
As if that wasn’t miserable enough, it turns out Delice approached her with ulterior motives… and even had another woman?
Overwhelmed with betrayal and helplessness, tears well up—
but as a doll, she can’t even cry properly.
After many twists and turns, Piani ends up displayed on a street vendor’s stall among other plush toys.
But then—His Grace the Grand Duke Hespia, infamous for the swarm of dark rumors surrounding him, purchases Piani.
“You’re the one I’ve been searching for all this time. At last, I’ve found you.”
[You were looking for me? But we just met today?!]
“I’m doing some kind of… birthday café thing. Help me.”
“A birthday café for you, Your Grace?”
“Are you insane? Our soft-and-squishy sweetheart is opening a birthday café.”
[Excuse me WHAT?!]
The Grand Duke, Chris, gushes over her with every breath, even opening a fan-run birthday café for Piani.
Living in this oddly peaceful chaos, Piani begins to wonder:
Maybe… being a doll isn’t that bad after all.
‘But the moment he finds out I’m not actually the lost doll he’s been searching for… I’m definitely going to—pop like a cotton bag and DIE!’
Will Piani survive without bursting at the seams, return to her human body,
and punish the one who betrayed her?
