The profession of a bailiff simply requires being strong, psychologically resilient, and unshakeable. In my past life, I was exactly like that—the forty-five-year-old executor of court decisions, Lydia Valeryevna Govorova. But it turned out that life had plans for her—quite a special kind of plans. After Lydia Valeryevna was cursed by one of the debtors, she ended up… in a world similar to Victorian England. In the body of a thirty-three-year-old Miranda Hardman… A small town in the duchy of Meriford is populated by proper ladies who are always ready to accuse her of being an old maid. But no one even suspects that the girl is not an old maid—she is the secret widow of the late Duke of Meriford… And for Lydia Valeryevna, everything is within her reach—whirl through the sleepy town like a hurricane? Easy! Open a school for the poor? Done! Win over a heartbreaker? Why not!
