However, her life takes an unexpected turn when a drunk driver crashes into her car, sending her soul hurtling into the pages of a Victorian romance novel she once read. Eleanor awakens in the body of Evelyn, the villainess wife of the Duke of Blackwood. In the novel, Evelyn is destined to be killed for her relentless harassment of the heroine, Amelia.

However, escaping her predetermined villainous role isn't as simple as she anticipated. The deeper she delves into the story, the more she uncovers hidden truths. Amelia might not be the innocent victim she appears to be, and the reasons behind Eleanor's ostracization in both worlds begin to intertwine. Eleanor must confront her own past mistakes and prejudices while navigating the complex web of societal expectations and blossoming love. Can she break free from the shackles of her predetermined fate and find redemption, not just in the eyes of others, but within herself?
