"Shouldn't This Be the Other Way Around?"
Ellios was born from starlight and silence, a young godling shaped by divine hands to one day inherit the mantle of creation itself. But before she could rise, she was sent down.
Not as punishment. Not as exile. As a lesson.
The ancient gods, wise and distant, believed no deity should wield power without first understanding the world below. So they cast Ellios gently to Earth, veiled her light, and let her walk unnoticed among mortals. She was to learn of fear, of time, of change-things immortals only pretend to grasp.
She expected to study humans like stars from afar.
Instead, she met Saturn.
Nineteen, sharp-tongued, fiercely real. Saturn didn't shimmer. She didn't bow. She laughed too loud and loved too hard, and the world always seemed one second from breaking around her-but she stood. In her, Ellios found something the gods never taught her to expect: devotion not demanded, but earned.
It was supposed to be the other way around. Ellios, the divine. Saturn, the mortal. But somewhere between long walks at dusk and whispered secrets over coffee, Ellios realized she'd begun to orbit Saturn like a second moon. Her worship shifted-not upward, but across.
She still has powers. She still dreams in cosmic threads. But now she kneels, not in submission, but in awe. And in Saturn's messy, mortal world, Ellios learns what the gods never could: that love is a more sacred force than eternity.
This is not a story of gods descending to save humanity.
It's about a godling who came to learn-and found someone worth worshiping.
I used to save lives.
Now, apparently, I ruin them.
In the 21st century, I was Dr. Viera Kalin - a top-tier surgeon known for her precision, caffeine addiction, and complete inability to maintain a social life. My only escape from endless night shifts? Reading "The Saint's Blessing" - a fantasy manga about a kind-hearted heroine, her divine healing powers, and her cold but loyal war hero fiancé.
Then one night, I fell asleep mid-chapter... and woke up inside the story.
As Lady Viera Kallistrate - the villainess.
The jealous noblewoman doomed to lose her title, her love, and her head for obsessing over the male lead, General Ronan Valeis.
Well, not this time.
I might have her name and her face, but I'm rewriting her fate.
Step 1: Cancel the engagement before the plot begins.
Step 2: Keep my divine healing powers very secret.
Step 3: Avoid the dangerously attractive general like he's a medical hazard.
Simple, right?
Except Ronan's returned early from war - bloodstained, breathtaking, and very confused by my sudden change of heart.
Instead of relief, his reaction is... curiosity.
Now he's following me around like a lovesick knight, showing up to my clinic with "injuries" that definitely don't require treatment, and saying things like-
"If you truly wish to end this engagement, my lady... why does it hurt to let you go?"
I was supposed to survive quietly.
But when the villainess refuses to play her part... the story itself might just fall in love with her.
