The first thing Eva felt.
Not the pain of being hit.
Not the pain of falling.
But the pain of every bone in her body being torn apart and stitched back together.
Her eyelids fluttered.
Bright silver light flooded her vision.
For a moment, she thought she was in a hospital.
Then she realized hospitals didn't have three moons.
"...What?"
Eva slowly sat up.
A vast futuristic city stretched before her.
Towering crystal skyscrapers pierced the clouds.
Flying vehicles crossed the sky.
Giant holographic advertisements floated between buildings.
And above everything hung three enormous moons.
Eva stared.
Then stared harder.
Then pinched her cheek.
Hard.
"Ouch."
Unfortunately, the city remained.
A cold mechanical voice echoed in her mind.
Synchronization Complete.
Soul Integration Successful.
Eva nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Who said that?"
No response.
Instead another notification appeared.
Current Location:
Astra Prime
Capital Planet of the Galactic Federation
Eva froze.
Planet?
Planet?
She looked down.
The ground beneath her wasn't Earth.
The air wasn't Earth.
Nothing was Earth.
She had somehow transmigrated to another planet.
"...No way."
The voice returned.
Correction.
Probability: 100%.
Eva covered her face.
She had read enough novels to recognize what was happening.
Either she had gone insane.
Or she had become the protagonist.
Given her luck, insanity seemed more likely.
Suddenly a flood of memories exploded inside her head.
Names.
Faces.
Events.
Power.
Fear.
Hatred.
Money.
Lots and lots of money.
Eva clutched her head.
When the pain finally subsided, her expression became strange.
Because she now knew exactly whose body she occupied.
Lady Eva Aurelia Von Astra.
The most hated woman in the Federation.
"Are you kidding me?"
The original owner possessed:
Three husbands.
Hundreds of enemies.
A terrible reputation.
Countless scandals.
And apparently...
An absurd amount of wealth.
Eva paused.
The last point softened the blow considerably.
A holographic screen suddenly appeared before her.
Personal Wealth:
428,793,224,091 Credits
Eva blinked.
Then blinked again.
"...I can work with this."
The System remained silent for several seconds.
As if it were questioning her priorities.
Before it could speak again—
A loud crash echoed from the balcony.
Someone had landed there.
Eva turned sharply.
A tall man dressed in black military attire stood outside.
Sharp eyes.
Broad shoulders.
Dangerous presence.
He looked relieved the moment he saw her awake.
"Eva."
Another figure appeared behind him.
A silver-haired scientist carrying a medical scanner.
Then a third.
A stunning blond man whose face was famous across the galaxy.
All three rushed toward her.
The memories of the original owner immediately supplied their identities.
Kael Orion.
Adrian Vale.
Lucas Sterling.
Her husbands.
Eva nearly choked.
No amount of memories could prepare her for that realization.
Three men.
Three husbands.
One extremely confused woman.
Silence filled the room.
The three men stared at her.
Eva stared back.
Finally Lucas spoke.
"Why are you looking at us like that?"
Eva answered honestly.
"Because I just remembered that I'm married."
The room fell silent.
Again.
Adrian frowned.
Kael looked concerned.
Luca looked offended.
"You forgot your husbands before you forgot your bank accounts?"
Eva hesitated.
"Maybe."
The three men looked horrified.
Meanwhile, inside her mind, the System quietly activated.
Main Quest Activated.
Rebuild House Astra.
Restore Family Honor.
Discover the Truth Behind the Fall of House Astra.
Reward:
Return Home.
Eva froze.
For the first time since arriving, her smile disappeared.
Return Home.
Back to Earth.
Back to her original life.
Back to everything she lost.
She looked at the quest.
Then at the three husbands.
Then at the unfamiliar city outside.
A strange feeling settled in her chest.
Whatever this world was.
Whatever secrets it held.
One thing was certain.
Her life had just become very complicated.
And somehow...
Very expensive.
"Fine."
Eva cracked her knuckles.
"If I have to save this family, solve a conspiracy, and survive three husbands..."
Her eyes gleamed.
"...I'm charging interest."
