Ahn Jungwo was a nobody—just an ordinary high school student who never stood out, had no friends, and felt more at home in fictional worlds than in reality. His only escape from a dull and cruel life was reading novels in the quiet corner of the library.

But one seemingly ordinary afternoon, his life came to an abrupt, unexpected end.

The sky suddenly cracked open. Colossal metal pipes burst down from black clouds, piercing into the earth. Jungwo simply stared, unmoving—as if accepting that the world wouldn’t care if he vanished.

Then, just before his consciousness faded, a voice echoed in the void:

[Do you wish to accept this System?]



Without hesitation, he pressed “Yes.”

When he opened his eyes, the world had changed. He had awakened not as himself—but as a stunningly beautiful noblewoman, graceful… and fragile.

[Welcome, Celestienne Aurelith.]



Yet before he could even catch his breath, the cold voice of the system resounded again:

[Survive the Forest of Death. Kill all monsters within. Receive your initial reward upon success. Do you accept?]



With the unfamiliar, delicate body of a woman, Jungwo—now Celestienne—had to survive a place even trained knights feared to tread.

Alone. No weapons. Only a system he had yet to understand.

With trembling breaths, eyes alight with determination, and anger simmering in his chest, he stepped into the darkness.

Would he emerge as a queen of destiny—or perish as the first casualty in this merciless world?

My name is Ivan, and I am the captain of the writing team for this novel. We are aware that in some recent chapters, there may be missing character visuals or parts of the text that might not be perfect.


We kindly ask for your understanding. This happens because once we review a chapter and feel it is ready, we send it immediately, which sometimes means the character visuals are not included yet. We realize this might make it difficult for some readers to imagine characters such as the second concubine or Lucifer the dragon.


We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and truly appreciate your patience and continued support. We will keep striving to provide more complete and satisfying content in the future.


Thank you for your attention and understanding.
