Liu Yu woke up one day to find herself transported into the novel she had been reading before bed. As the evil stepsister to the Cinderella-like heroine, she had, earlier that day, let her cat maul her sister's pet sparrow, and later that evening, ordered the gouging out of the eyes of a destitute young man. Little did she know that both the cat and the young man were incarnations of the world's ruler, the God of Light!

Facing the looming prospect of being drained dry and hanged in a month's time, Liu Yu weighed her options:

1. The Night Duke had already been thoroughly charmed by the beautiful and kind Cinderella, so that route was closed.

2. Prince Carlo was scouring the land with a glass slipper, searching for its owner, so that option was off the table as well.

3. Only the male lead, the God of Light, hadn't yet fallen under her sister's spell.

Liu Yu looked at the destitute young man before her, who had lost his eyes and all his memories, and decided to play the part of the savior. She put on a dramatic voice:

"Oh! Goodness! Who could have done this to you, you poor soul!"

The destitute young man: "Did you save me?"

"Yes, it was me."

Young Gaius:

When I fell in love with her, I truly believed she was the kindest, gentlest, and purest girl in the world.

God of Light Gaius:

I have never seen a woman as wicked, deceitful, and absurd as Bellia. She could gouge out my eyes and still claim to love me.

I wanted to kill her,

but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

This is a story that begins with deception and ends with true love.
