Joy Cha Kim wakes up in the body of Ravenna Solarius, a disgraced princess of the Ancorna Empire and a minor villainess in the novel she once read. Doomed to live out her days on the desolate Jola Islands, Ravenna was fated to vanish without leaving a mark on the original story. But this time, things are different. Armed with memories of her past life and a mysterious reputation system she discovers while struggling to survive, Joy refuses to fade into obscurity. Every decision she makes impacts her reputation, unlocking unexpected opportunities—and dangers. With her wits, the system, and the will to rewrite her destiny, can she carve out a new path on the sands of exile? Or will her story end as the novel foretold?
