Lyra Etheridge, a modern-day psychologist, wakes up in the body of Aris Devereux, a villainess in a popular web novel she once skimmed out of boredom. In the novel, Aris is a shallow and envious aristocrat destined to face ruin for tormenting the story's sweet heroine, Helena, and opposing the male lead, Crown Prince Orion. However, Lyra has no interest in Playing out Aris's doomed storyline. Armed with her real-world experience and understanding of human behavior, she's determined to carve out her own path. Instead of obesessing over the prince or getting entangled in political schemes, she focuses on improving herself and the people around her. While others expect her to either pursue power or redemption, Lyra/Aris chooses herself from societal expectations. She opens a healing center for women in the capital, drwaing on her psychological knowledge to help others work through trauma, insecurities and social pressures. Her decision to empower herself draws the attention of unexpected allies and admirers, but Lyra is steadfast in her mission: she will not be tied to anyone else's expectations, and she won't let fate dictate her end
