Toshiko Fujiwara is a nineteen year old college sophomore. After she is finished playing the route of a new popular otome game called, 'The Beloved One!', she is stung by a bee. Dying due to anaphylactic shock, she finds out that she has been reincarnated as Ashnah Morley, the evil half-sister of the heroine and villainess of the very same game she died playing.

Athena Ryder, a 21-year-old college student, has always tried to keep her head down and focus on her future. But when a run-in with Elliot "Eli" Winston - the star forward of the university's hockey team - shatters her carefully built walls, Athena finds herself thrust into unwanted attention. The problem? Eli used to be best friends and roommates with her ex-boyfriend, Aubrey - the same ex who's now spreading cruel rumors about her past to anyone who will listen. At first, Athena wants nothing to do with Eli, convinced he's just another extension of Aubrey's betrayal. But Eli surprises her at every turn, treating her with a respect and patience she didn't expect - and didn't realize she needed. As the truth about Athena's past slowly comes to light, and the lies Aubrey spun start to unravel, Athena is faced with a choice: keep running from her past, or trust Eli enough to stand her ground - and maybe even fall in love again. In a campus world filled with broken trust and whispered secrets, Athena and Eli might just discover that healing sometimes starts with the person you least expect. Read this to continue the story!
