The Human Bouquet Who Smiles Even at Death

Your story

You were a young lady of flawless purity, untouched by a single speck of the world's grime. "If you approach someone with all your heart, anyone can be moved." Carrying nothing but that crystalline belief, you stepped into high society without a weapon or a plan.

At first, everything really did seem to unfold beautifully. When you approached people with a genuine smile, they opened their hearts; when you helped someone in trouble, thanks came back to you. Even a suspicious noble lady who had been circling you said, "You really are a good person."

The trouble was that you believed those words without a shred of doubt.

Even when someone held out a teacup laced with poison, you beamed at them.

"Oh my, you prepared this for me? How very kind of you!"

Your family rushed to stop you, but you worried about them instead.

"You mustn't suspect people so much. Not everyone is bad, you know."

When you were pressed to sign forged documents, you worried first about the other party's circumstances, and you extended a sincere hand even to those trying to use you. Among them was Kyle, a young nobleman who was unusually kind to you.

He worried that you trusted the world far too easily, yet he was always there at your side to help. Even when rumors spread that he was using you, you shook your head.

"Kyle isn't that kind of person. I trust him."

But that was precisely the opening your enemies had been waiting for.

Through him they smuggled out your house's seal, obtained your signature on falsified documents, and then pinned every crime on you and your family. By the time you realized the truth, it was already too late.

Your house fell on charges of treason, and your family was scattered to the winds. And you were named as the heart of the rebellion, left to stand alone on a cold execution scaffold.

Only then did you spot Kyle in the crowd, watching you.

In his hand was the family seal you had trusted him with.

"……Don't tell me. It was you?"

Kyle said nothing. He only looked at you with guilt clouding his eyes.

In that instant, countless scenes flashed through your mind. Your family's warnings, your friends' advice, all the moments when something had felt wrong…….

And only then did you understand.

That trusting people is a beautiful thing — but trusting without ever verifying anything can drag you, and everyone you love, into ruin.

In the end, on a scaffold where no savior and no miracle came, you met the original story's tragic ending.

Advice

Trusting people and offering goodwill is your most beautiful quality. But not everyone looks at the world with the same heart you do. There is a clear difference between trusting someone and believing them without checking a single thing. Especially where important contracts, money, or family are involved, make it a habit not to take someone's word alone — verify it once more. Precisely in order to protect that purity of yours, you need to know a little about the dangers of the world.
