Byeongyakan? Nampyeonui Gyeyak Anae

I’m Selena, a daughter born to a family well-known for their fertile women. I was all but sold off in a marriage to a sickly duke whose life hung in the balance, all for the sake of producing an heir for his family. They provided me a medicine purported to aid in pregnancy, and the astrologist advised me good days for sleeping together, but... there was no child. <br><br> <i>“So, are there any signs of pregnancy?”<br> “Ah, I-I'm sorry.”<br> “You’re useless. What luck do you think won you the position of the duke's wife?”</i><br><br> I couldn't say a word. <br><br> <i>"No, excuse me. I only have to look at the sky to pluck a star. That's how I attained this position.*"</i><br><br> *Metaphor: Lit. Plucking a star from the sky: something that's difficult to get/achieve)<br><br>(Source: Kakao, translated)<br><br><i>Note: A promotional one-shot for the homonym novel.</i>
