I Shall Master This Family, Volume 1 (The Novel)

She was overlooked, cast aside, and left to watch her family crumble—until fate gave her a second chance. This time, she won’t just survive...she’ll take everything. Now available in English print for the first time, I Shall Master This Family—the hit Korean web novel behind the bestselling comic—is a smart, addictive fantasy about power, strategy, and a girl determined to rise to the top.

Tia knows exactly how her story ends...and she refuses to let it happen again.

After a lifetime of being overlooked in the powerful Lombardi family, Tia dies full of regret...only to wake up as her younger self, with all her memories intact. This time, she’s determined to change everything. Armed with knowledge of the future, she begins carefully building alliances, earning her grandfather’s trust, and outmaneuvering the relatives who once brought her family to ruin.

But rewriting the future is a dangerous game. Every choice matters—and one misstep could cost her everything.
