The story follows the whimsical adventures and aspirations of its protagonist, Cherubina, a young woman who harbors romantic dreams influenced by the novels she has read. Her character embodies a blend of naivety and ambition, as she seeks to transform her mundane life into one filled with the kind of dramatic incidents typical of heroines in literature. The opening of the novel introduces Cherubina as she reflects on her discontent with a life that seems ordinary and unremarkable. Disillusioned by the absence of adventure, she yearns for the kind of struggles and romantic entanglements she often finds in her beloved novels. As she grapples with trivial family issues, her vivid imagination leads her to concoct situations that would elevate her status to that of a true heroine. The narrative is characterized by a playful and ironic tone, as Cherubina engages in a series of lighthearted misadventures that foreshadow the humorous and satirical commentary on romantic ideals that the story will explore.
