At 16 years old, Marinette prepares for the chance of a lifetime. Internships, closer to defeating Hawkmoth, overcoming the awkwardness between her and her crush... but when her parents decide to leave for a baking contest in the states, she's told she can't live in Paris on her own. Determined to find a place to stay for the time being, Marinette comes across the only other option. Living with your crush seems exciting- I mean, it's a chance to get closer to him, right? But instead, what lies ahead is a road of rumors, lies, danger, confusion, awkward teenagers, and quite a few secrets that begin to turn both Adrien and Marinette's lives upside down. While fighting for both of their identities, both are busy with their lingering emotions. Will either of them be able to confess how they really feel to one another before the year is up? Or will they forever remain oblivious to each other's identities and feelings? (previously #1 in miraculous and miraculousladybug)

A story, of two imperfect souls falling in love. Doubts cross their minds. Denial - preventing them from loving their other half. Slowly helping each other overcome their insecurities, could they ever realize the mysterious feeling that engulfs them once together? Along the way, they survive multiple akumas and obstacles. The two cross labyrinths so puzzling, uncertain if they were ever to escape. Chat Noir and Marinette considered their relationship, as just friends. Nothing else.

Have you ever imagined Miraculous Ladybug with the main protagonists switching roles? Adrien Agreste lives in an apartment building attached to what is called the "Agreste Bakery." His parents, Gabriel Agreste and Emilie Agreste are the owners of the bakery, which is famous for selling the most delicious pastries in Paris. Marinette Dupain-Cheng is the daughter of Tom Dupain, a famous fashion designer across Paris; and her mother Sabine Cheng, who suddenly disappeared. Marinette was homeschooled her whole life... until one day, she attended Françoise Dupont High School. Both teenagers were promoted to be the superheroes of Paris, known as Ladybug and Cat Noir. (This would mean the love square would also be affected.) 'Even in an Alternate Lifetime' is based on how strong the power of love, truly is.
