"White Lotus," noun. People who always play the victim, blame-shift, and gaslight others for reacting to their lack of accountability, manipulation, passive aggressiveness, and mistreatments.
They always finish their conversations with...
"I didn't mean for you to take what I said that way."
"I was only trying to help; I'm sorry, I'm just not as good at this as you are."
"Why are you so mean? You don't need to get so upset."
"Can't you be a little more forgiving? I've tried my best."
... the list goes on.
Lila Young, a successful entrepreneur and self-made woman, was best friend to such a white lotus for 20+ years until she found her in her boyfriend's bed.
Heartbroken, she went on a trip to reconnect with herself, but lost her life in a car wreck. Instead of dying, she woke up with her soul registered to a system called No. 4051, reincarnated over and over again as Lilas who are all victims to the white lotus protagonists in each of their worlds.
"So... let me get this straight."
"I'm to expose these white lotuses and live a fulfilling life without their manipulation and toxicity. And in the end, I get to come back to life?"
Lila laughs: "Deal."
