…Never once Stella thought that she would give up the prosperous future she fought for all these years and go back in time to save the woman she once despised.

Stella was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Northland, and she was the most adored among her siblings. However, her life took a turn completely after her father passed away in a tragic accident and her older half-brother, Anthony, became the next duke instead. He didn’t hesitate to get rid of her by sending Stella to the Chevalier for political marriage and she was then engaged to Ophelia Chevalier, the deranged possessive villainess. It was the three most painful years of Stella’s life being imprisoned by the Chevalier and becoming Ophelia’s alpha pet. Being treated like a prisoner and abused by everyone, she had to endure all these inhumane treatments as her desire for revenge grew immensely.

Once she turned 18, Stella exposed her brother and the Chevalier’s evildoings and corruption with the support of her friends and allies. At last, she reclaimed her rightful title as the true Duchess of Northland as she was the true successor. She was convinced that was the end of her dark times and the beginning of her bright future with her soulmate…until she learned the truth.

Who would’ve thought that the mastermind behind her happy ending would be the villainess herself?

By the time she realized that it was too late. Unbearable guilt struck her even harder when she realized she had a part in contributing to Ophelia’s tragic death. She couldn’t forgive both herself and the villainess.

None of this would’ve happened if they chose to work together than to be enemies.

Now that she was given a chance to redo her past, she gave up the future with her soulmate and returned to when she was 15 – to the beginning of her three years of nightmare. As she retained all the memories of the past, Stella decided to stop from Ophelia walking down the path to her lonely and cruel end.

“…It’s my turn to return the favor and save you.”
