Synopsis
Aristia, raised to be empress, faces betrayal and gets a second chance to rewrite her destined future.
From childhood, Aristia La Monique has been raised with one purpose: to become the perfect empress. Every moment of her life has been dedicated to mastering the arts, politics, and etiquette required to stand beside Crown Prince Ruvellis Kamaludin Shana Castina as his equal. However, her carefully planned future begins to crumble when another enters the prince's life, threatening to unravel everything she's worked for. As the world she knows shifts beneath her feet, Aristia must navigate the treacherous waters of court politics and personal relationships. But when fate offers her an unexpected second chance, she finds herself returned to the past with memories of what might come. Now armed with knowledge of possible futures, the young noblewoman faces the ultimate challenge: can she forge a different path, or are some destinies impossible to escape?
