♡ I Have to Stop the Princess from Marrying Her Dad
Day 1 of Possessing a Trash Game
Blink.
When I opened my eyes, the world had changed.
“Greetings, Your Grace.”
I was definitely at home, playing a game just moments ago.
But even though my surroundings had changed in an instant, I didn’t react normally—no screaming, no asking where I was.
That was probably because of the overwhelming pressure filling the air.
“…Your Grace, this baby is…?”
An old man’s voice echoed from somewhere in the distance.
Instinctively, I knew he was the butler.
But no answer came.
“You there.”
Instead, a single finger pointed at me.
“…Yes?”
The voice that came out was unfamiliar—neither Korean nor my own.
“I’ll entrust this child to you.”
“……”
The man spoke indifferently.
Before I could even respond, a baby was suddenly placed in my arms.
“Waaah!”
The newborn, now separated from the man, began to fuss.
But as soon as I tried to soothe her, she quieted down.
Ding!
A pink window appeared in midair.
♡SYSTEM♡ You have become the princess’s nanny!
♡SYSTEM♡ Please choose the princess’s name!
※ The name cannot be changed later.
I quickly scanned the text.
“Um… what about her name?”
I asked hesitantly, my unfamiliar voice trembling.
That man is probably the father… so shouldn’t the parent be the one to name the child?
But—
This situation… these lines… they felt familiar.
With growing unease, I gathered my courage and looked at the man.
Cold silver hair and eyes like blazing rubies formed a perfect contrast.
Even over his uniform, his well-built physique was obvious.
Wait… is that blood on his clothes…?
‘No way.’
I know this person.
“Your Grace, now—”
In <Bling Bling ♡ Raising a Lady>, he’s the princess’s father—and a character I’ve seen on my monitor so many times I was sick of him.
Jeremiah Cromwell.
‘Oh my god…’
I had entered a lady-raising simulation game.
As the princess’s nanny.
✧ʚ .·:¨༺♡༻¨:·. ɞ✧
<Bling Bling ♡ Raising a Lady>.
A trending lady-raising simulation game.
Anyone with a computer could play it. The player takes on the role of a nanny and raises a noble girl—that’s the main objective.
There were mini-games, farming and gathering systems, and even affection systems not just for the princess but also for the nanny, making it stand out from other games.
In line with the developers’ philosophy—“Human potential is limitless”—the game had hundreds of possible endings.
—“It’s amazing, right? Even whether her first dessert is a macaron or a pie changes the ending!”
—“I saw a streamer get the Imperial Princess ending even when the first dessert was cake.”
—“That’s just how it is, okay?!”
If there ever was a game where guides were meaningless, this was it.
It was incredibly difficult to see the same ending twice.
Some players would diligently attend etiquette lessons, only to visit the kitchen once and suddenly get the Chef Ending instead of the Countess Ending.
Depending on when you visited the kitchen, who you interacted with, and what you ate, you could end up with a Farmer Ending… or even an Empress Ending.
It took three whole months just to see all endings—and new ones kept getting added.
♡Let’s Get Divorced: I…
On the day of the princess’s coming-of-age ceremony,
all the major characters gathered in the imperial palace to hear what kind of life she would choose.
In other words—the ending.
“Please, please…! I’m not even asking for her to marry the Crown Prince! Just not her dad…!”
I clasped my hands together in front of the monitor like I was praying.
Please!
Even the Farmer Ending is fine…!
♡Let’s Get Divorced: I want to marry my father! I’ve always loved him! Ah, Jeremiah! Can I call you Jerry?
“WHY AGAIN WITH THE DAD?!”
I shook my monitor.
“No way! I’d rather die!”
If she wanted to die, she should’ve triggered the assassination ending in the first spring.
But now, it was far too late to kill both the grown-up princess and that scumb—no, that duke.
As if mocking me, even on my tenth attempt, the princess insisted on marrying her father.
Any rational adult—no matter if they weren’t blood-related—should reject a proposal from a daughter twenty years younger.
♡Jeremiah Cromwell: …I didn’t know you thought of me that way, ‘Let’s Get Divorced.’
♡Let’s Get Divorced: …
♡Jeremiah Cromwell: …Very well.
♡Emperor William: Hmm, it is unusual… but since there’s no blood relation, and no formal adoption, it shouldn’t be an issue. Love knows no age or borders, does it?
Every character in this game was insane.
Common sense simply didn’t exist.
♡Please Stop Marrying Your Dad: …! Miss ‘Let’s Get Divorced’ has found true love…! I, ‘Please Stop Marrying Your Dad,’ am so happy.
My character—the brown-haired pixel nanny—looked deeply moved.
“Nanny, please… why are you happy… you’re not supposed to be happy.”
Even after seeing the same lines for the tenth time, it was still ridiculous.
Ignoring the desperate meaning behind her name, the nanny just clapped happily.
♡Let’s Get Divorced: Thank you for being happy for me! I’ll live happily, just like how you raised me…!
What’s the point of raising her well if she’s going to marry her dad?!
Jeremiah Cromwell—and the daughter I raised with potions and gold—kept tossing pixel hearts at each other.
“What was all that for…”
Spending all my stamina on childcare with recovery potions…
Pouring my entire 55 gold salary into her education…
Even taking side jobs to earn more…
People say it’s hard to get the same ending twice in this game.
As someone who’s played it ten times—that’s a lie.
This makes ten consecutive “marry the dad” endings.
Why did I even play this game ten times…?
♡Let’s Get Divorced: Jerry, I love you.
♡Jeremiah Cromwell: I love you too, ‘Let’s Get Divorced.’
“Seriously… you’re insane for actually marrying your daughter just because she asked…”
I muttered while staring at the illustration.
The high-quality CG showed my “cyber daughter” in a wedding dress… and the duke—who never even helped raise her—standing beside her.
Let’s Get Divorced.
The name I gave her was the only thing that let me cope.
At least, I could pretend he’d come to his senses and divorce her after the ending.
Maybe that was the intended emotional effect—but not for me.
“Trash game. If she marries her dad again, I’m really quitting.”
…I think I said the same thing a few days ago.
Human greed has no end—and we repeat the same mistakes.
And I’m human.
This is the last attempt.
For real this time.
Just as I clicked [Start New Game]—
Ding!
Bzzzz—
“….”
My phone and computer chimed at almost the same time.
<Mom: Are you going to keep ignoring your family like this?>
<Father: Quit that company and come back. I’ll set you up on a blind date. He’s the son of a major corporation. At least be useful. A shaman said if you do this, the evil spirit influencing you will disappear.>
“…I should just block them.”
Seeing that only ruined my mood.
I flipped my phone over and looked back at the screen.
♡ Hidden Mode Unlocked ♡
~ Human potential has only one answer?! I love you, Dad ~
You have achieved the “Marry Your Dad Ending” 10 times in a row!

[YES / NO]
“Hidden mode…?”
My gloom vanished instantly.
Was this always a thing?
After watching countless playthroughs online, I’d never seen this before.
So this is the reward for getting that horrifying ending ten times in a row.
Without hesitation, I clicked [YES].
♡ Hidden Quest Received ♡

Failure Penalty: ???
※ Difficulty [Hell] has no save feature.

[YES / NO]
I froze when I saw the next window.
The Imperial Princess Ending was considered one of the true endings.
“I can’t even get the Farmer Ending!”
And now it’s set to Hell difficulty?!
“The time limit is three years…”
Compared to the usual 18 years, it was ridiculously short—but still better than one year.
“…Yeah, I’m definitely looking it up.”
There was no way I was wasting this rare hidden quest on another “marry dad” ending.
Time to swallow my pride and watch guides.
“And block those numbers while I’m at it.”
I clicked [YES] and opened the internet.
✧ʚ .·:¨༺♡༻¨:·. ɞ✧
And when I opened my eyes again—
I was inside <Bling Bling ♡ Raising a Lady>.
“You choose it.”
The low voice was cold, yet strangely pleasant.
I carefully raised my head.
Seeing a character I’d only known as pixels in real life…
felt surreal.
Transparent red eyes settled on me.
Otherwise, I might have spent hours just staring at his unreal appearance.
After a moment, Duke Cromwell turned away as if he had no further business.
A faint scent of blood lingered where he stood.
‘W-What is this…?’
I stared blankly between his retreating figure and the pink system window.
‘Did he seriously just dump the baby on me and leave?!’
