In her past life, art student Hannah Mercer was emotionally manipulated by her sister, Willa Mercer, in the name of pride and ethics. Refusing to run errands for wealthy heiress Natalie Grant, Hannah slaved away to support her ungrateful family—only to die alone from overwork in a cold, rented room on New Year's Eve. Reborn on the first day of her freshman year, Hannah discards her misplaced guilt and seizes every chance to earn money through hard work by teaming up with Natalie. Step by step, she slaps down her hypocritical sister and biased parents, severing ties with her toxic family once and for all. Driven by jealousy, Willa spirals downward into her own ruin, while Hannah transforms into a thriving entrepreneur—standing proud as Natalie's equal and claiming the independent life she truly deserves.
