Ai Yin is the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light.
She prays diligently, heals the sick, and listens to others... Until the day she dies, she wears thick holy robes and never takes off her iron mask, hiding the figure and appearance the bishop frowns upon and condemns as "improper."
But she is a sacrificial pawn.
A reborn villainess becomes the darling of everyone, while the original heroine, who transmigrated into a book, tries to reclaim her status.
In their conflict, the dark side of the Temple of Light is inadvertently exposed.
When a magic stone detects that Ai Yin has succubus blood, the temple makes her its scapegoat without hesitation.
She remembers the agony of the iron mask burning her skin until the flesh fell away.
She remembers her snow-white holy robes slowly yellowing and crumbling to ash in the flames.
Then she returns to the day she was chosen as the Holy Maiden.
Lane is a newly appointed knight.
On his first day at the temple, he meets the Holy Maiden.
A warm golden glow dazzles and blurs the senses. The girl's translucent hem flutters like the delicate wings of a fairy. Her fair wrists, revealed as she prays, radiate holiness, while her rosy lips and exquisitely curvaceous figure are dangerously seductive.
She opens her deeply closed eyes. Her clear, pure gaze ripples with his reflection, and her solemn words turn tender and sweet in her soft voice.
"I sincerely hope that the light will shine across the whole earth."
"Young knight, would you like to help me make that happen?"
One knight isn't enough.
Ai Yin needs every extraordinary person on this continent worthy of being called a "hero." That will make it easier for her to create a world of absolute light.
No one can refuse an invitation from a darkened Holy Maiden.
P.S.:
1. Many one-sided crushes; male lead undecided.
2. The heroine has no heart and is chaotic good.
Theme: Be your own light.
