The Story of Lady Lucetta
“Lady Lucetta, Back from the Dead” tells the captivating tale of Lucetta Ambridge, a noblewoman from a once-illustrious family facing destitution. To save her family, Lucetta agrees to a political marriage with the wealthy businessman, Kyle Wisley, who desires a noble title.
A Second Chance at Life
Tragedy strikes on the day their loveless marriage is meant to begin when Lucetta is killed by a gunman with a grudge against Kyle. However, instead of an end, Lucetta is sent back two years in time.
Fortune-Telling and Fates Intertwined
Armed with knowledge of the future, Lucetta is determined to alter her destiny. Her new goal is to pay off her family’s debts independently by secretly becoming a highly accurate fortune-teller, allowing her to break off her engagement and marry for love. The plot thickens when Kyle himself seeks her prophetic advice, unwittingly revealing his secret, long-standing love for Lucetta. The series explores the comedic and romantic entanglements as the “besotted Kyle” pursues Lucetta, who is equally determined to escape their predetermined match.
