After a devastating betrayal and heartbreak in her modern life, Isabella thought her story had come to a tragic end. But fate had other plans. She awakens in the body of Lady October Catherine Windsor—an outcast noblewoman in a world pulled straight from the pages of a manhwa.
October’s life is far from a fairy tale. Born of a scandalous love between a Duke and a common pianist, she is scorned by the nobility and tormented by her own family—especially her twin sister, May, and the cunning Anna Marie. Her existence in the Windsor estate is a careful dance of survival.
But Isabella is no longer the girl who suffered in silence.
With her soul reborn in October’s body, she carries the strength of two lives, determined not to repeat the heartbreak of the past. As she navigates courtly intrigue, cruel siblings, and the weight of her family's legacy, she refuses to bend to those who want her broken.
Everything changes when she meets Emperor Baldwin of the Northern Kingdom—stoic, guarded, and dangerously alluring. What begins as a chance encounter soon becomes something deeper. In Baldwin, October finds not only unexpected tenderness, but the possibility of a second chance at love.
But love in this world comes with a price.
Enemies lurk in silks and shadows, and her presence threatens delicate alliances. October must choose—cling to her past, or risk everything for the future she never dreamed she'd get.
Will she rewrite her fate, or be swallowed once again by a world that was never kind to girls like her?
