"Luck and gifts you will have it all.
Everything you desire and put your mind on.
But that one craving, you will never own.
As fate and the gods will collude to derail your goal."

Lyrica was ecstatic when she found out that after finishing a reverse harem royal romance novel, she woke up in the body of her favorite character who shares the same name as her! Even more so when she met face to face with her adored (bias) character--the attractive General Calais Parcell!

However, soon, she finds out that every human in the new world hates her even without a valid reason! Not one, not even her own parents and siblings!

Being loved and well-liked by everyone in her previous life, watch her struggle in this new world where everyone hates and wants to kill her!


Snippets:
“You should be ashamed of yourself, Calais! Have you ever... Have you ever taken a look inside of you and wondered what kind of person you are?!”

“No, Lyrica. I can see how you look at me, and I know that I am not that bad after all.”

"But all I see is a charming mask! And no matter how beguiling that lovely mask looks, once you take that off, inside, you are still what you are, someone hollow and empty, with no principles other than what other people project on you!"

"We can't do this," I whisper, pushing Calais away from me. "You need to leave Calais."

He clenches his jaw but doesn't make a move. His eyes remain fixed on me, as if confused and can't understand himself. I can't even understand if he's angry or being possessive. Right now, he is a picture of chaos.

"I can't," he finally says, his voice gruff. "I am utterly attached to you. I know I shouldn't do this, but I can't help it."

His words shock me, and my chest constricts in pain. Calais is attached to me? So, his motivation is still not love, huh?

We stay there, gazing at each other for what feels like eternity, until the servant knocks on the door again.

"Leave it there," I order, my eyes not leaving Calais.

The servant obeys and leaves the tray of food outside the door. As soon as he's gone, Calais takes a step closer, his eyes dark with desire.

"You don't have to resist me," he says, his voice low and seductive. "I don't want you to."
