Asteria Vale was the world’s top idol, a queen of the stage adored by millions. But at the peak of her success, she was betrayed, drugged, and left to die in an alley—discarded like trash by the very people she trusted.

When she opens her eyes again, she’s no longer Asteria. Instead, she has reincarnated into the body of a nameless girl—one who was supposed to be dead. This new body isn’t just a random identity; it holds secrets connected to a powerful mafia family, an underground revenge plot, and a mysterious contract that binds her fate.

Now, under the new identity of Raine Vesper, she enters the entertainment industry once again, determined to reclaim her throne while hunting down those who betrayed her. But things get complicated when Zayne Kross, a cold-hearted music producer with ties to the mafia, takes a dangerous interest in her.

As secrets unravel, Raine finds herself torn between her burning desire for revenge and the dark romance pulling her into Zayne’s world. With every performance, every whispered lie, and every deadly confrontation, she must ask herself—is she playing the game, or is she being played?

The Reincarnated Idol’s Secret

The next phase of the audition wasn't just about singing. It was about survival.

Raine stood in the center of the massive dance studio, surrounded by other trainees. The air was thick with nerves as the instructor, a sharp-eyed woman named Madam Lei, tapped her clipboard.

"Your voice got you through the first round," she said coldly. "But if you can't dance, you're useless."

Raine kept her face blank, but inside, she was calculating. Dancing had never been her strongest suit as Asteria Vale. She had relied on natural charisma, letting her voice carry her. But now? She couldn't afford weaknesses.

"Groups of three," Madam Lei continued. "You'll be evaluated on synchronization, stage presence, and execution."

The trainees scrambled to pair up. Raine barely had time to react before a shadow loomed over her.

"Looks like we're partners, sweetheart."

That lazy drawl. That infuriatingly smug tone.

Raine turned, already biting back a curse. The infamous idol trainee—cold, arrogant, and lethal on stage. His blood-red hair was tousled just enough to look effortlessly cool, and his silver earrings glinted under the studio lights.

Next to him stood Kairo Lin, smirking like he had just won a game Raine didn't even know she was playing.

"Lucky you," Kairo murmured, his golden eyes glinting. "Two of the best trainees as your partners."

Raine clenched her jaw. This wasn't luck. This was a trap.

They were testing her. And she refused to lose.

"Let's get this over with," she said coolly, stepping between them.

Kairo chuckled. "This will be fun."

They had no idea who they were dealing with.
