In her previous life, Shen Yuwei was known as Li Hua, a noble daughter who lost everything and later became a trusted attendant to a royal princess. One day, her mistress lent her a strange novel. It was the story of a talented actress from the future and a handsome actor destined to become her lover. As for the villainess? She was spoiled, arrogant, materialistic, and hopelessly obsessed with the male lead despite already being married. Li Hua could never understand her. After all, the villainess's husband was handsome, successful, loyal, and had never taken another woman. Why would she throw everything away for a man who did not love her? Unfortunately... When Li Hua opened her eyes again, she discovered she had become that very same villainess. Shen Yuwei. The woman destined to lose everything. The woman who would eventually be divorced and abandoned by everyone. Faced with her tragic future, Shen Yuwei only had one wish. To live peacefully. To avoid provoking the heroine. To stay away from the male lead. And to properly cherish the husband the original owner never appreciated. But the more she tries to stay out of trouble, the more people begin to notice her. The family that once tolerated her begins to adore her. The entertainment industry becomes curious about her transformation. Even the husband who barely acknowledged her existence starts paying attention. What Shen Yuwei doesn't know is that some stories were never as simple as they appeared. And perhaps... The true villain was never the villainess. --- "I already have a husband." "So why would I chase another man's love?"

Ilia Andromeda was never meant to rule, only to serve. In her first life, she was the power behind the throne: the woman who used her family's agricultural might and political influence to elevate the Second Prince to the position of Crown Prince. Branded the other woman, whispered about as useful and disposable, Ilia learned too late that loyalty has no value once power is secured. When the crown was won, she was silenced. Betrayed, mutilated, and left to die by the man she helped ascend, Ilia's name was dragged through the streets as a villainess, an ambitious woman punished for daring to reach too high. But fate grants her a second life. Awakening years before her execution, Ilia abandons love, devotion, and illusion. This time, she will not raise a man to power. She will claim it herself. With cold precision, she begins to dismantle the court that once condemned her, manipulating noble houses, weaponizing public perception, and reshaping the empire from the shadows. There will be no romance to distract her. No mercy to weaken her resolve, no throne she will not take. Because if power is all that matters, Ilia Andromeda will ensure it belongs to her alone.
