For love, would you play the role of the hero or the villain?
Killings have been happening left and right in the entire country because an unmasked serial killer is on the loose. What a wrong time for a girl named Skylar Millie Parker to return home after spending four great years in Canada, leaving a well-paid job.
But fortunately, something happened on her way home as she met someone who would eventually lead her to an even better job offered by a prominent family. Skylar accepted it without having a hint of a bigger problem that would come into her life in the form of a person; Hera Cythera Arentsvelt.
The stories about Cythera intrigued her, even without personally seeing the infamous head of the family as she's always locked in her room. Quiet and mysterious, hauntingly playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
But then the time finally came, and something unexplainable changed inside Skylar the moment she saw the woman behind that name...
"I remember vividly the first time I laid my eyes on you. You were wearing your purple robe with the same color as your eyes. I suddenly felt like everything around me had stopped, and you were the only one moving. Slowly taking the steps down the grand stairs. It felt like my breath got stuck in my throat, my heart pumping more blood than it should, and my head whispered to my ear...she looks ethereal."
Ngunit ano nga bang malaking gulo na dala ng dalaga sa buhay ni Sky? At ano ang katakot takot na sikreto nito ang siyang tuluyang magpapabago sa buhay niya at sa mga tao sa paligid niya? Worse than that, it looks like Cythera knows something about the infamous serial killer in town --- but is she the killer?
Anong kaya mong isugal para protektahan ang taong pinaka importante para sayo?

Nang lokohin siya ng kanyang high school boyfriend na si Derek Lorenzo, ipinangako niya sa sarili na magsisisi ito dahil sa susunod na mag-krus ang mga landas nila ay siya na si Megan 2.0: successful, prettier, and so much better, until ten years later.
Derek is set to be married to a socialite and celebrity vlogger. Si Megan? Well, hindi siya successful, hindi rin siya prettier, at higit sa lahat ay naiwan siyang bitter. Hindi lang iyon, siya pa ang assistant ng wedding planner ng dalawa. With the wedding of her ex and a reluctant artist as her only salvation to not be fired, Megan is faced with the question that has been silently mocking her: was it really his loss or hers?
