This is the story of Lara, a young woman from modern times, raised with one singular purpose: to exact revenge on the family of the general who destroyed her own.

But fate had other plans. On her way to carry out her mission of vengeance, a twist in the plan led to disaster. Lara was struck by a military truck escorting the very general she intended to assassinate.

When she awoke, she found herself in an entirely different world—one where her identity and purpose were starkly different from the life she had known and how she had been molded to be.

Abducted by human traffickers, she outsmarted them and escaped. Then, she encountered a mysterious martial arts master whose ancient skills far surpassed her own. For two years, she trained with him in the remote mountains. 

One fateful day, while hunting deep in Mount Ourea, Lara stumbled upon the Prince of Northem, disguised as a commoner. He was gravely injured while pursuing a notorious group of bandits. Lara saved him then vanished without a trace.

Haunted by his savior, the Prince of Northem searched for her but to no avail. Duty called, and he rejoined the Northem army, embroiled in a fierce battle against the bandits and soldiers of Estalis in the Alta-Sierra mountain range.

Amid the chaos, Lara was mistakenly swept onto the battlefield, disguised as a soldier. The Prince of Northem, intrigued by the disguised warrior, recruited him as his guard.

During the battle, fate played another cruel hand. Lara came face to face with General Odin and his two sons—only to discover that General Odin was the spitting image of the general she had been trained to assassinate. Could the man from her world be a descendant of this brave general?

Torn between her mission and her newfound reality, Lara faced an impossible question: How could she kill her biological father?

Her internal conflict deepened when she uncovered an elaborate plot to frame General Odin and his sons as traitors. The true culprits? His own subordinates and trusted allies.

In an ironic twist of fate, Lara found herself becoming the 'protector' of the family that, in modern times, she was supposed to ruin.

After the war, Lara returned as a hero, ready to reveal her identity to General Odin, but she learned of another betrayal. Her cousin, Mira—the orchestrator of her abduction—had taken over her identity. Mira lived in her home under the guise of comforting Lara's grief-stricken mother because of the death of her only daughter. Not only that, she also did a lot of scheming and eventually claimed Lara's betrothal to Prince Alaric.

With her identity stolen and her mission turned upside down, Lara faced a new challenge: reclaiming her life and honor and protecting her new family.

Return of the General's Daughter

In the blink of an eye, Reya was behind Lara, her body shaking uncontrollably like a sieve being shaken.

"Mi.. Miss Lara, sna.. snake," she stammered.

Lara approached the snake, which she had carelessly thrown to the ground. She wrapped it in a leaf to avoid scaring Reya and Sandoz, but unfortunately, her maid was too curious for her own good.

"It's dead, Reya. It can't hurt you now. See?" Lara said, her voice calm but firm as if willing Reya's fear to dissipate through sheer reason.

Lara picked up the upper half of the snake and walked steadily to where Reya and Sandoz were.

"To overcome your fear, you have to embrace it. Come here, Reya. Touch the snake." Lara beckoned Reya.

Reya stood frozen beside Sandoz. Meanwhile, the little boy took four steps forward, and with trembling hands, he touched the cold body of the dead reptile, which Lara wrapped around her waist, the snake's head in her hand.
