XLIFE

As she awakens in a world of Twilight’s Chronicle she once knew from a novel, Luna is shocked to find herself reincarnated as the villainess, instead of being the heroine of the story. By relying solely upon her memories of the story, she is determined to change her fate and escape the tragic ending that’s awaiting her.
But things don’t unfold as expected. As the young woman navigates her new life, she must hide her true identity while mastering sword and magic. With enemies lurking in every shadow and a growing threat to the magical world she lives in now, Luna faces an impossible choice: will she become the villain everyone expects, or will she forge a new path as a twisted heroine and defy destiny itself?
