In a world divided by a silent wall, the greatest lie is the one that offers you hope.
For Marcella, life in the Occientia is a cycle of grease, smog, and survival. A low-level thief in the laborer slums, she has spent years stealing scraps from the elite Gentry just to keep her family fed. But Marcella has a secret that even she doesn't understand; when she's cornered, her eyes flare with a forbidden golden light- a "Sovereign Spark" that the Gentry's scanners can never find.
When Acherian, a shimmering, Fae prince from the lands of Exterra, the forgotten continent, slips through the barrier to find her, he offers her a miracle. He calls her the "heartbeat of the world." He promises that if she follows him across the Lethean Reach, her light can heal the dying earth and save her people from the Gentry's iron grip.
But his world holds broken promises and a garden full of beautiful nightmares.
Her only hope is in a man the Fae call a monster.

Now I'm stuck in someone else's body-Cassiane's-and apparently, she had a lot going on. I thought transmigrating would mean a fresh start. Maybe some plot armor. Maybe even a dramatic glow-up. Instead, I got chaos. And whatever this story is... it's definitely not going the way it's supposed to.

I Became The Heroine's Maid
Before dying an embarrassing death, I read a cringey and super cliché manhwa titled: "Elizabeth's Harem." Aside from it being cringe and cliché, the ONLY reason why I read it was because... It was a rated 19 manhwa. Haha. Anyways, the sad news is, I woke up inside that manhwa after dying. "NO. AAAAGHHH WHYYYYYY-" Not only did I get hooked inside the story, I even became that one loyal maid of the heroine... Who stands guard outside her room while the heroine and her different love interests are doing "it" loudly!!!!! And worse, I couldn't move or roam around freely unless I finish my character's purpose. "Crap. What an amazing life I have."
