She woke up in an unfamiliar room, her body aching, her memories fragmented. The moment she looked in the mirror, she realized—this wasn’t her face.

Once, this body belonged to the precious daughter of the Shen family—an heiress admired by all, engaged to Mo Ziqian, heir of the illustrious Mo family. But the moment her family crumbled into bankruptcy—something he had secretly planned—the engagement was coldly broken off.

"You're no longer worthy to stand by my side," Mo Ziqian had said, turning his back without a trace of guilt.

As if that betrayal wasn’t enough, the original girl was framed, humiliated, and violated—her pain turned into a scandalous video that spread like wildfire. With no dignity left, she chose to end it all.

Just when she stood on the edge of death, Mo Zixuan, the younger brother of her ex-fiancé, reached out his hand.

"Trust me. I’ll marry you, I’ll protect you."

Desperate and drowning, she clung to that lifeline—only to discover she’d stepped into an even darker abyss. His love was a lie, too.

"Even you…" she whispered, tears merging with the sea that swallowed her.

But fate had other plans.

A new soul awoke in the body—vengeful, cold, and calculating. She wasn’t here to mourn. She was here to make them all pay.

"You ruined her. Now, I'll ruin you."

But something is wrong.

As she begins to seek revenge, memories surface that don’t belong to the original girl. Memories of places she’s never been. Names she’s never heard. Emotions that feel too real to ignore.

“Whose life am I really living…? Who am I?”

Is she truly just an outsider inhabiting a stranger’s body—or is something far deeper at play?

What happens when vengeance awakens something older, darker, and more dangerous?

She doesn’t just want justice anymore.

She wants answers. And she will burn the world to get them.
