She loved him with everything she had-her time, her heart, her dignity. But the male lead never loved her back. In the end, she lost her family, her future, and her life... all because of that love. But fate gave her a second chance. Now back in her second year of college, she's done chasing love. No more following him around campus. No more gifts, no more tears. This time, she chooses herself. When classmates mock her for no longer loving the male lead, she doesn't hide-she stands on stage at a college event and apologizes for everything: her past behavior, her mistakes, and the chaos she caused. The next day, her apology video spreads across campus-and the girl once known as the foolish villainess starts to rewrite her story. She's not here to win hearts anymore. She's here to become someone worth being proud of. Let me know if you want a dramatic one-liner tagline too, like: "She chased love once. This time, she'll chase her future." or "From villainess to healer-her story has just begun."
