Abby Maxwell thought becoming a housekeeper would give her a quiet life. Stoneheart Mansion had other plans.
When she arrives in 1929, the old mansion seems abandoned, but the longer she stays, the more the house begins to change. Doors open on their own, portraits shift when she isn't looking, whispers curl through the corridors, calling her name with voices that shouldn't exist. The townsfolk warn her to leave. The house whispers for her to stay.
Something inside Stoneheart is watching her, learning her, choosing her. And Abby begins to realize the truth: the house is alive. It remembers every soul it has claimed. And it has decided she will be next. But Abby Maxwell is not as helpless as Stoneheart believes.
And the mansion is about to learn that the woman it chose... might be the one who destroys it.

"Enough!" he shouted. "No more words." "Yes... I killed your father. I did." "Stop screaming!"he barked. He grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him. "Now... it's time to get married. Let's go. The priest is waiting. We don't want to make him wait, do we... hmm?" She spat on his face. He just smirked. Licked the spit from his lips, rolling his tongue. "Mmm... tasty," he said, voice low. "You should've kissed me directly. No worries... we'll do it after our wedding." He leaned closer. "Do you want to see his dead body... hmm? One last look at your father?" She whispered, trembling, "Please... let me go." " You don't want to? Okay... let me throw his body away then." "No! I... I want to see him, please. He is my father !"

The Villainess Rewrites Her Story
They once called her the Mad Dog of the South - the spoiled, short-tempered daughter of Duke Mortane. Feared by nobles, hated by the people, and foolishly obsessed with the Crown Prince who never loved her. Betrayed by her uncle. Framed by a false saint. Abandoned by the man she destroyed herself for. She died cursing her own foolishness... until the gods granted her one final mercy- to return to the past, one year before her ruin. This time, she'll play their game with her eyes open. She'll protect what's hers, crush those who deceived her, and rise from the ashes of her former self. Because this time... the villainess doesn't seek redemption-she rewrites her story.

Seventeen years later, she's not just alive. She's powerful. Dangerous. Untouchable. Myra built her empire from the blood she's bled, the blood she's spilled, and secrets she'd kill to protect. It's not just her identity she's concealing - it's the cracks. She's back. But she's not the little sister they imagined. Can she keep everything hidden when a twist of fate drops her into the lap of her so-called family?
