Summary
Once, she was Princess Stella, the youngest of a fading imperial line. Then, at the tender age of ten, she was brutally abandoned amidst the flames of rebellion, forced to shed her royal identity and live as the commoner Ethel. For a decade, she survived, forgotten by the very family who cast her aside.
Now, a summons arrives from the opulent palace she once called home. Her elder sister, the First Princess, demands her return—not as Stella, but as a mere stand-in for a missing sibling. The offer is laced with threats, holding her newfound family hostage. Ethel has no choice but to re-enter the gilded cage, playing the part of a princess no one recognizes.
But this isn’t a story of forgiveness. They may have discarded her, but Stella has returned with a sharpened wit and a burning desire for retribution. She will expose their hypocrisy, humiliate those who scorned her, and ultimately, abandon them just as they abandoned her. This time, the ‘extra’ will dictate her own splendid return and claim her happiness on her own terms.
