THE GHOST OF VALTARA

Lily_Lia_9102
Seraphine Valtara is dead. Or rather, she was supposed to be. Waking up in the body of the infamous villainess from a popular fantasy novel, "The Crown of Swords and Silk," our protagonist, Lily, quickly discovers her predetermined fate: a tragic death to pave the way for the novel's 'fated' hero and heroine. But armed with future knowledge and a mysterious, game-like "System" providing cryptic quests and warnings, Lily refuses to play the victim. Under the guise of the deceased Seraphine, she finds an unlikely, powerful ally in Duke Cassian, the kingdom's enigmatic "Master of Shadows." Together, they begin to unravel the Crown Prince's insidious plot to seize absolute power through forbidden Aetheric rituals and manipulated Ley lines. From faking a monstrous bear attack to exposing a royal betrothal built on lies and dark magic, Seraphine systematically dismantles the very narrative she was meant to serve, forging an unbreakable bond with the powerful Duke along the way. But just as Seraphine celebrates her hard-won victory and a blossoming romance, the "System" that guided her begins to glitch. Its detached, mechanical voice cracks, revealing a terrifying truth: her true name, a forbidden memory, and a chilling warning. Was she truly just a reader, or a player trapped in a much larger, more sinister game? And if the narrative itself is a cage, who is the true puppet master pulling the strings?
