In her first life, Elise de Clorance was a spoiled, wicked noblewoman whose jealousy and tyranny led to her execution by her own husband, the Emperor. Reincarnated in modern-day South Korea, she spent her second life atoning for her sins by saving lives as Dr. Song Jihyun, a brilliant surgeon and the youngest professor at a top medical college. However, fate has a twisted sense of humor; just as she finds redemption, a plane crash ends her life, sending her back to her original body as Elise, ten years before her execution.
Armed with modern medical knowledge and a desperate desire to change her future, Elise vows to abandon her wicked ways. Her goal is simple: break off her engagement to Prince Linden de Romanoff to avoid her eventual death and dedicate her life to medicine. To achieve this, she strikes a wager with the Emperor—she must prove her worth as a doctor within six months, or she will be forced to marry the Prince and ascend the throne.
As "The Royal Lady with the Lamp," Elise introduces revolutionary medical practices to a fantasy world stuck in the past, battling epidemics and treating wounded soldiers. But her transformation from a villainess to a savior doesn't just shock the medical community; it captures the attention of Prince Linden himself. As the cold prince begins to see the woman he once despised in a new light, Elise finds that healing the empire might be easier than healing her own tangled fate.
