Now inhabiting the body of Celestine Avelore, the notorious villainess in a world where every decision could mean life or death, Lyra is determined not to be a pawn in her own story.

Celestine Avelore is known for her beauty, cunning, and ruthless pursuit of power. Engaged to the charming Prince Darius, Celestine's future should be secure except for one thing. The arrival of a seductive concubine threatens to turn everything upside down. But Celestine won't be a mere spectator in her own life. With a second chance, she decides to seize control, using her beauty, charm, and manipulation to bend the world to her will.

However, an unexpected encounter with the enigmatic Archduke Kaelren, a man who seems to know more about her than she expects, forces Celestine to question everything. As she unravels the secrets of this new world, she finds herself caught between power, romance, and betrayal.

In this world full of intrigue, manipulation, and passion, can Celestine rewrite her fate before it's too late? Or will the past she's trying to escape catch up to her in ways she never expected?

But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors.
