On the day of my marking ceremony, I don't receive flowers or a mate's embrace. Instead, I receive news that my boyfriend, Liam Hagerty, was caught in a snowstorm and his body was never found. I lose the man I love, and the pup in my belly loses its father. The grief nearly destroys me, but everyone keeps saying, "Aurora, stay strong—at least for the pup." On the day of the funeral, Liam's twin brother, Jasper Hagerty, returns from the border patrol with his mate. Every time I see Jasper's face—the exact same face as Liam's—my heart aches all over again. Then one night, I accidentally overhear a conversation between my mother-in-law—the old Luna—and Jasper. "Liam, you have to go through with this. Your brother died saving you, and your sister-in-law's been through so much. Let her give birth and have something to rely on. Then, you can host your marking ceremony with Aurora." Silence follows. Then "Jasper" speaks. "But what about Aurora? She's carrying my pup..." His mother sighs. "Aurora is strong and considerate. She'll understand." Jasper says in resignation, "Alright, Mom. I'll do as you say." That's when I realize Liam never died. The man I thought was my brother-in-law, Jasper, is just Liam putting on an act. Heartbroken beyond words, I call my older brother, Axel Maddox. "Axel, I want to come home. Liam is already dead, so there's no reason for me to stay here anymore."

Once overweight and insecure, Jung Soo-min is bullied by heiress Kang Yoo-jin at work and pushed off a rooftop to her death. Reborn as orphan Han So-eun, she is granted a "Heart Points Exchange System" that rewards her for winning others' affection. With her mesmerizing voice, she lands a job at an exclusive private club and systematically seduces Kang Yoo-jin's arranged fiancé, her standby suitor, her cousin, and her junior—each conquest earning points that gradually transform her appearance and physique. Using the influence of these four wealthy men, she tears off Kang's mask of hypocrisy, exposes her crimes of assault and oppression, sabotages Sejin Group's partnerships, and forces Kang into overseas "recovery." In the end, the heroine lets go of her bitterness, finds companionship with those she has redeemed, and achieves both self-salvation and total revenge.
