### Summary
Following her successful use of forbidden magic, Artezia Rosan awakens in her 18-year-old body, surprised to have survived the sacrificial spell. She immediately resolves to rewrite the future by making Grand Duke Cedric Ebron the emperor, vowing to become the "devil" who dirties her hands on his behalf. This chapter shifts focus to the dysfunctional dynamics of the Rosan household, introducing Artezia's narcissistic mother, Miraila. Characterized by reader commentary as a jealous "boy mom," Miraila openly belittles Artezia, calling her ugly while doting on her illegitimate son and Artezia's half-brother, Laurence. The narrative highlights the oppressive family environment, where Artezia, the legitimate heir, must seek permission to leave her own home. The chapter also introduces Alice, Artezia's loyal maid and sole source of affection in her first life, who was previously poisoned. Now, with her memories intact, Artezia is determined to protect Alice. The central conflict is established as Artezia must now convince Cedric, who currently has no political ambition, to accept her alliance and challenge her brother for the throne.
