Synopsis
Reborn as villainess Satiana, Hwayoung must scheme to win crown prince's heart and protect her new family.
After her boyfriend cheats on her with her best friend, Hwayoung gets drunk and accidentally drowns herself in the Han River. But instead of going to heaven or hell, she wakes up in another world as the infamous villainess Satiana Altisee Kaylon. Just as she decides to give up her villainous ways to live in peace, she is chosen as a candidate for the next empress, along with the kind-hearted Irene Staena. But are Irene’s intentions as pure as they seem? In a palace full of schemers and liars, and with her family’s safety at stake, Satiana must become the villainess to steal the crown prince’s heart and save her newfound family. (Source: Tappytoon)
