From starving village girl to feared ruler, Euphemia trails a path of pain and deceit. A senseless good deed cost her life but also earned her a second chance with a magic cheat. It all spells a smooth path to success if not by a long-lasting system of nobility and privilege that will break way before it bends. Euphemia will learn the ruthlessness of the world and try to survive by becoming ruthless herself while struggling to maintain a heart. To hers, she shall become the brightest light in a dark night, but her enemies shall only know despair. During the day, she will bow and conform to Aristocracy rules, but in the shadows, she will have her way.
