Born and raised as a nameless shadow guard for his kingdom’s crown prince, his life’s purpose was to be used and discarded at the whims of his liege.
And his meaningless life ended when the gaze of a princess lingered on him for too long. The crown prince had him beheaded without a second thought, as if throwing out trash.
Transmigrating into the body of a baby girl, the nameless shadow finally had a name, a family, and a place to call her own. Throwing away his past, the shadow guard was now called ‘Emilia’, and walked on a new path to seek fulfillment.
It was not meant to be, however, as the girl whom she had loved with all her heart and soul ended up mercilessly plunging a dagger through Emilia's love-struck heart at the highest point in her life.
The crowd clamored at the ‘deserved death of the villainess’, and at that moment, the shadow could only wonder… why?
Why am I always the one to dedicate myself fully to someone, only to be thrown away like trash in the end?
And thus, as her soul floated away while cursing in resentment, ‘Emilia’ vowed to herself that in her next life she shall never be the one to fully dedicate herself.
Whatever she likes shall be held in her palm, and shall never escape!
The moment the vow was made, a self-proclaimed villainess system proposed to partner with her, to explore and conquer the worlds through their anchors—the heroes and heroines.
And by cultivating this energy, she shall one day go back. Back to the world she was born as ‘Emilia’ in, and face the so-called heroine once more.
The second time they meet, Emilia won’t be the one drowning in regret!

"Why do you even bring her here? Other than creating problems and running away, she has nothing better to do! I already told Domenic that she doesn't deserve to be here, she can't be a part of this family."
Emilia flinched as Mark's angry words pierced through her heart, making her clasp her hand over her mouth to not reveal her presence.

Emily's life could only be described as a Tragedy. It's the term she had witnessed the most in her life and finally had accepted it as the bitter truth of her life.
She was barely a few months old when her mom left her father and took her along. She witnessed the downfall of her mother in the world of alcohol and drugs as she was growing up.
Her life was never perfect. It was even worse than what people considered as the worst, but it took a sudden change when her mother died in a car accident when she was barely nine years old.
For the next six years, she stumbled across various foster homes and orphanages. And then suddenly someone appeared in her life claiming her as the lost princess of the famous Alessandro family.
Sent to live with her six brothers she never knew about, she realized that her entire life was full of lies.
Her so-called brothers changed her life forever. They were cold-blooded monsters who could go to any length to protect their little sister.
Little did they know that what they needed to protect her from wasn't the demons of the outer world but the demons that were killing her slowly from the inside.
Could they heal their broken angel or would become the reason behind her shattered self?
And what would happen when another party would decide to enter into the picture - The Sullivans.
Kaiden and Rylan Sullivan were just as powerful as the Alessandro's and they too were hiding their own secrets.
But their biggest secret was the connection that they shared with Emily.
This is a story about a young teenager who's running from her past, her new family, her pain, and the suffering that it brought. But how could someone run from reality? You could hide from it but never run from it.

Born into a life that anyone would pray for; being the only daughter of the mafia boss and drug cartel lord, Fariello De Santigo, Emilia had never fallen short of wealth, protection, and respect.
When she flees from her home in search of freedom, a sane person would be quick to believe she had lost her mind.
With a new identity and relationship in the works, Emilia is soon reminded of the past she's left behind when she's discovered a year after and forced to move back to Italy. She imagines only the worst as her punishment for defying her family's expectations.
But her alleged retribution comes in the form of Leonelli Gianpiero, the mafia boss who is penned as the kingpin of New York City. A ruthless and cunning man whose motives are as insidious as his reputation precedes.
Now in the middle of a game orchestrated by him, set as a pawn and bait for a much greater purpose, Emilia finds herself backed in a corner with her choices limited.
With an unlikely connection and brewing trouble from the past, Emilia faces more than she can handle, but a De Santigo never backs down when conflicted and she is certainly not planning to.

Emilia died, but made one last request: a new chance.
When she worked as a librarian, the only records she had to write before she died were the number of deaths from the Second World War.
Ema had many regrets, especially not trying to find her brother who went missing during the war, even though she had access to the records.
In the blink of an eye, the girl wakes up in the modest room of her house, at just 16 years old. She needed to do things differently this time—save her family and herself from the disaster that was coming. This time, she had a chance, and she couldn’t waste it!
She vowed to be better mother than her own, but when a stalker takes things too far and her son is taken, Emilia nearly gave up on the dream of motherhood.
However, two years later she meets a group of peculiar children: the oldest is constantly angry and avoids sunlight like the plague; the second one howls at night and behaves as if raised by animals; the third never speaks but smiles the most among them; the fourth giggles uncontrollably and is far too concerned with her looks; and the youngest, the sweetest child but has the unfortunate hobby to play with fire.
Emilia cannot help it. She takes them in when they are threatened to be separated.
It is an uphill battle for them all.
And someone lurks in the dark, waiting for the perfect chance to strike.
She's smart.
She's brave.
