Da-young was South Korea’s finest agent. Accustomed to dangerous missions, betrayal, and death, she had nevertheless believed that she had finally found someone she could trust. But during her final mission in Afghanistan, the man she loved betrayed her and condemned her to die.
As she drew her final breath, a single thought crossed her mind:
“So this is how my life ends... If I ever get another life, I’ll never believe in love again.”
But death was not the end.
Da-young awakens in a completely different world, inside the body of Stella Von Thalion, the legitimate heir to a powerful ducal house.
Stella once had everything a young noblewoman could ever desire: a title, an inheritance, and an important place within her family.
But everything was taken from her.
Accused of a crime she did not commit, Stella was humiliated before the nobility. Her own father refused to believe her. Her stepmother despised her. And her half-sister, Angelia, the woman who pretended to be sweet and innocent, gradually took everything that belonged to Stella.
Her title.
Her inheritance.
Her place within the family.
And even the man who had once been destined to stand by her side.
Eventually, Stella was sentenced to exile, far from the capital and everyone she knew.
But when Da-young discovers Stella’s memories, she quickly realizes that Stella was never the true villain of this story.
She was simply the perfect victim.
And Da-young refuses to suffer the same fate.
Now, she is Stella.
A new life begins.
A new Stella—colder, more determined, and above all, far more dangerous.
She also possesses something no one in this world knows about: her grandmother’s ring.
A mysterious ring capable of summoning whatever objects she desires, though its powers still hide countless secrets.
With her experience as an agent, her knowledge of the modern world, her mysterious power, and her newfound magical potential, Stella decides to completely change her circumstances.
First, she will take back control of the Von Thalion Duchy.
Then, she will reclaim her inheritance.
And finally, she will bring down, one by one, everyone who played a part in her downfall.
But Stella does not simply want revenge.
She wants to build something that belongs entirely to her.
She no longer needs her father’s approval.
She no longer needs the Emperor’s love.
She no longer needs the nobility’s recognition.
Everything that was stolen from her will return to her hands.
And while Angelia continues to play the role of the perfect empress before the court, Stella silently prepares for her return.
Because this time, the former victim will not ask for justice.
She will take it herself.
They exiled her, believing she would disappear.
They forgot one thing.
A true villainess does not need to be loved.
She only needs to become powerful enough that everyone is forced to respect her.
I am Stella Von Thalion.
And I’m going to take everything back.
