Carmen Wade thought she had it all—a perfect job, a loyal best friend, and a husband she adored. Everything was perfect! But her world shatters the night she discovers her husband's ultimate betrayal with her best friend, Millie. Fearing Carmen will expose their affair, the two decide to kill her, forcing her into an oncoming truck. She bleeds to death. But when Carmen opens her eyes, she’s no longer in her own world.

She’s been reborn as Lady Daphne Vasquez—The infamous villainess from her favorite fantasy novel, destined to meet a brutal end in the hands of her fiancé. Determined to change her fate, Carmen (now Daphne) shocks the kingdom by first calling off her engagement with Lord Michael Ruiz, who bears an uncanny resemblance to her treacherous husband, Cody Wade. Her actions draw the attention of King Rafe Crowe, a powerful ruler from a neighboring land who becomes suspicious of Daphne’s sudden transformation. 

As Carmen navigates a world of greedy nobles and magic, she must use her knowledge of the story’s end to outsmart those who would see her fall, including her former fiancé and the heroine of the novel—who eerily mirrors Millie. But her greatest challenge may be resisting the charm of King Rafe, whose keen eyes seem to see right through her facade and changing the narrative of the story she once knew it’s end. 

In a world where allies and enemies blend together, Carmen’s second chance at life becomes a high-stakes game of survival, vengeance, unexpected romance and avoiding a dark prophecy. 


The Revenge of the Reincarnated Villainess

The heavy doors creaked open, their sound reverberating through the room and catching everyone’s attention, particularly Carmen’s. She hadn’t left the room since she woke up, having spent her time inside. While the interior of her room was stunning, it was nothing compared to the grandeur of the hallways that stretched ahead, leading to God knows where. 


She took a deep breath, following the maids as they motioned for her to step through. For a moment, she hesitated. The unusual grandeur and architectural style still left her feeling unsettled, but from what she’d gathered, she was in a truly unfamiliar place—far, far from Manhattan. This wasn’t Manhattan. It felt as though she had stepped into a scene from a weird fantasy movie. 


Taking a steadying breath, she stepped forward.
