She even joined the survival show, Tomorrow’s Idol, just be in the same frame as him. One night she came to know that she was never a part of what she thought was her family. She was an outsider who took advantage of the little kindness shown to her. Then she got into a road accident. Maevie was notified of being bounded by a system which strived to correct the paths of villains and villainess and lead a happy, successful, and evil free life. The system told her that she was a villainess character in a world where Yi Ran was the protagonist. Her karmic value was negative and would invite only hatred from others. To redeem herself, she was sent to ten different worlds as training and got a skill as a reward for each world she successfully completed. After what seemed like centuries, she was finally back to her own world. She woke up in a hospital. Her centuries of journey were merely 10 hours in her real world.

He deliberately appears in front of her to see her reaction. She still smiles at him when she gave him the lunch box. But he was not the only one she gives it to. It was clear that she still idolized him. But he was not special to her anymore. Luther had never thought that such a day would finally come. His tail of 12 years was finally leaving his side. But there was one thing he did not expect. He never expected that he would be the one to hate this change.
