A tricky spinner with a transformable personality
Bridget is a boy, born into a millionaire family, raised as a gifted and extremely civic-minded young lady.
In the village, where the superstition that "male twins bring misfortune to the land" is believed, it is a rule that twin brothers must either be terminated or sent to foster children.
However, her parents, who felt sorry for her situation, hid her gender and raised her as a girl.
Bridget always tried to be cheerful so that her parents would not worry, but she realized that the more she insisted on being happy, the more her parents felt hurt.
She came to the conclusion that the fundamental solution to her problems was to live as a man and bring wealth to her village that would overturn the superstitions of her parents.
