[Unexpected series] 🇰🇷🇺🇸 Accolades 🏆×15 Jhope version Kang Ahri, a brilliant Korean-American psychologist and art enthusiast, takes a break from her well-structured life by spending a week at a conference in Paris. On her days off, she sneaks away to the Louvre museum to have conversations with the world's most famous portraits. She is eccentric, sharp-tongued, and hopelessly single, finding her escape in museums. Whether it is the famous Louvre or the Art Institute Chicago museum, she especially enjoys her ongoing verbal sparring with a particularly smug painting that she considers her nemesis. But one strange evening, after being denied access to her favorite gallery hall, a chance encounter turns her carefully ordered world upside down. She meets Jhope, a different type of masterpiece with a sun-kissed smile, and she's unaware of his stardom. What begins with a broken heel, a sore ankle, and a bruised ego quickly unravels into a surreal mix of fame, art, and an unexpected connection. When two different worlds collide-one painted in oils and another lit by spotlights-the result is anything but ordinary. 'Mona thinks I'm crazy' is a short rom-com story filled with heart, wit, and a touch of whimsical fantasy, where art, destiny, and a kind of love that even a 500-year-old painting can't ignore. 📝Published officially : 5/5/25 © Strawberry1d Awards : 15 🥇-1 🥈-5 🥉-8 🏅-1 Highest ranks #1 monalisa 27/7/25 #1 louvre 7/5/25 #1 soundcheck 9/5/25 #1 portraits 7/5/25 #2 monalisa 22/5/25 #22 USA out of 22.1k stories

After ten years of trying to win over the devoted second male lead, he finally gave me a lavish wedding. After we got married. Evander Hayes treated me as if I were the center of his world. Yet unease never left my heart. Because the System showed that my progress was still zero. It wasn't until our wedding anniversary that I found a diary hidden in the drawer of his study. That was how I learned the truth. Evander had awakened. He knew this world was a novel. He knew I was the vicious female supporting character. He knew I would eventually hurt the female lead. Sophia Reed. To protect the woman he truly loved, he had only pretended to be deeply in love with me all these years. The moment I realized this, the System's notification sounded in my head. "Mission failed. You will be erased in forty-eight hours." Dazed, I closed the diary. My hands were trembling. So all of Evander's gentleness and careful devotion over the years had only been a way to keep watch over me, to make sure I never harmed the woman he loved. It made sense why nothing ever really changed, no matter how much he indulged me. Everything he did had been calculated. My fingertips brushed against the phone he had left on the desk. After hesitating for a moment, I picked it up. As expected, I found another social media account hidden on it. The account was filled with chat records between him and the novel's male lead, James Bennett. Their conversation made it clear that James had also awakened to the truth about this world being a novel. Status : Completed Disclaimer: This story is not originally mine.

Well, for the most part. I've thrown in a few personal touches here and there. But because a substantial amount of this story will follow the "Noah's ark Circus" plot, I wanted to issue a a spoiler alert. I wouldn't recommend reading this unless you have seen the anime or read the manga. You've been warned. Also, there are mature themes and strong language ahead.
