Talia grew up without trusting anyone but herself to live. With no father figure to look up to and a clinically depressed mother who keeps on betraying her, Talia crawls her way to the top of the social chain to survive. But upon one drunken night, she meets her terrible end. Just like that, Talia loses all she worked hard for, or so she thought. When she wakes up, she becomes a duke's eldest daughter in a medieval era where alliances and conspiracies dictate a noble's future and where love is a luxury that will lead anyone to ruin. No matter how twisted the world she is pushed into, Talia is determined to live long. She realizes that she is given a second chance to live - or not. Reality slaps her hard when she learns that she is now inside the body of a sixteen-year-old villain character of the Netflix series that she binge-watched, "Thorny Crown"! Talia, who is now the infamous Lady Victoria, entered a popular yet twisted Netflix series two years before the plot started. And in that plot, the character of Lady Victoria is meant to die like cannon fodder for the female lead! Talia refuses to die again. And this time, she is going to extend her helping hand to another side character, the second prince of the story, Prince Cory. She decides to be the queen and defy the plot called destiny with the king of her choosing. In an era of deceit and conspiracies, will she be able to keep her head as she walks the thorny path of a villain? With her head on the line, will she be able to control her blooming feelings for the pawn that she has chosen?

"She doesn't have a heart." Iyan ang pagkakakilala ng marami sa kanya. She can do everything - humiliate everyone, hurt anyone, if she likes to. She wants everything in control. But reality says, not all things are controllable. So, does that mean that not everyone can be controlled by this girl who's said to be the epitome of evil? Especially this guy, this guy who can make everyone kneel, this guy who can make everyone cry, this guy who's capable of making her emotion, her heart, her body, praise him - all of him? Could she avoid the temptation this man innately has? Even if her system shouts to... Don't play with Fire!
