Elise Moon lives in her poor village of Hënmèi with only her scornful stepmother as family. Sick and tired of her stepmother, Hàn Līn Moon, frowning and finding faults in Elise every day, Elise is desperate to leave. Run away, even. She hates the way her stepmother curses her for their poverty, blames her for their lack of money and expects her to bring wealth.
But when she finds a photo of her with another woman-smiling, waving, identical to her-she begins to wonder...
Could her biological mother be out there somewhere?
When a mysterious boy appears begging for food, Elise is elated when he has news of her mother, Mênfēi Riss.
They journey across Gêndėi in search of Mênfēi, but maybe Elise was looking for the wrong person all this time.
Maybe there were more sides to people than what they showed,
Maybe what she was really looking for was back in Hënmèi, her village.
Her home.
Maybe there were more sides to the Moons.
She lived a life of quiet suffering-cast aside, unloved, a mere stepping stone for the real female lead. When death finally came, she thought it was the end.
But then she woke up.
This world is nothing more than a novel, and she was written to suffer. Not this time. Now, she will rewrite her fate, take revenge on those who abandoned her, and make the male lead regret ever overlooking her.
But breaking free from the story is not so simple. Someone is watching, and this time, she's no longer a forgotten side character-she's the villainess rewriting her own destiny.
