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

Raine refused to flinch. If Zayne and Kairo wanted to play mind games, she'd play too.

She leaned in slightly, her smirk sharp. "If I'm pretending, what does that make you two?"

Kairo tilted his head. "But that's the fun part, isn't it? Figuring out who's real… and who's just a better liar."

Her fingers curled into fists. They were testing her. Prodding for cracks.

"Sounds exhausting." She shrugged. "I prefer winning over guessing."

Zayne's smirk widened. "Then you'll love what's coming next."

A chill crawled down her spine. What the hell was that supposed to mean?

Before she could ask, the instructor clapped. "Alright, enough flirting. Time for the next round of eliminations."

The air in the room thickened. Tension. Pressure. The weight of competition.

Fine. Let them watch her. Let them doubt her.

She wasn't here to survive. She was here to take the crown.
