She had everything- A glittering skyline at her window, parents who adored her, a lover who swore the stars would bow to her smile. At twenty-eight, Aarika Singhania ruled her empire-a company she'd built from dust and ambition. She was everything which a girl dreams of. Her life was perfect. Too perfect. Until one night-screeching tires, shattered glass, and then-nothing. When she opened her eyes again... the world wasn't hers anymore. A cramped bedroom. Faded walls. Two small faces staring at her with tear-filled eyes- "Mommy?" Her reflection in the cracked mirror was a stranger-twenty-one, tired, beautiful in a way that carried pain. A ring on her finger, a man's shirt hanging on the door, and two toddlers calling her mother. The CEO of a billion-dollar company... now a young wife in a life she never lived. Who was the woman she replaced? Where did her own body go? And can she return to the world that once bowed to her name- or is she destined to rewrite her fate in this borrowed skin? Her heart says it's a second chance. Her mind whispers it's a trap.

Aurelia Keynes was born to rule. As the eldest daughter of House Keynes, the most powerful ducal family in the empire, she should have had it all: rare magic, unmatched beauty, and a position just shy of royalty. But behind the facade, it was her younger sister, Aterina, who held the family's love... and the crown prince's heart. Behind the splendour and silk, Aurelia's life was nothing more than a stage. Her obsession led to cruelty. Her cruelty led to disgrace. Consumed by jealousy, Aurelia's obsession turned her into the villainess history would never forget. Her execution was meant to be her end..... But death never came. Instead, Aurelia wakes up in her childhood bedroom. The past has not yet happened - but she remembers every bitter, bloody moment. This time, she refuses to become their villainess. She won't beg, chase, or break. If she must die again- She refuses to die a villainess.
