Can someone please help me on my synopsis a bit?

Yeah, well, I have started my first not-dropped project in seven years, and it is the first I haven't written in my mother's tongue as well, so it kind of felt unusual to do it from the start. But now I have written for over a month (it's written as it is updated, I only stack a few at best, when I get to have the time to write a bit more, but it was uploaded and realeased originally on Webnovel and moved here last Saturday).
I say that to make a point of how many times I have literally gone and changed the summary, added, deleted, replaced, and brought back again what I already had, in just those "few" days. And yet, I'm not happy in the slightest!
I need help, please. Seriously. :blob_teary:

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a hint on what might be a good thing to highlight. You don't need to give me feedback or anything (of course it would be cool, don't get me wrong), as the work I'm asking for is already a lot, but this isn't my first rodeo. I've had a few stories already and my summary's always suck. I would need a living, breathing person to tell me what might be a fitting aspect to highlight or if the summary I have is okay at all. :sweating_profusely:

*Edit: I forgot to say "please", that is not okay, so I changed that.

My impression is that it is kinda info dumpy. It gets the point across that this is a story about waking up as a book character but I think a lot of the details not relevant to why a reader should be interested in reading this book could be dropped.

Yeah, that's exactly my problem. I mean, don't get me wrong I can write a story, or at least I like to think I somewhat can, but I am literally incapable of pointing out what would be interesting about a story. That is why they all flatout suck. :sweating_profusely:

"Despite her power and prestige, Rowena (rest of name) might have a few minor personality...quirks. She might have caused her death by using those quirks against the female lead, which ended her story- unfortunately that doesn't mean the end of Celia's as after a devastating heart attack she woke up in Rowena's body with an impending marriage with a distant tyrant looming over her new body. Determined not to let fate play another trick on her, Celia decides to fight for a future worth having."
Use however you like, mash it mix it scorch it either way these words are free

Hippoty, hoppity, that text is now my property.

Er, jokes aside, I'd actually like to use that. I will also probably temper around with it over time, as I always do, I just can't let anything ever stay the way it is. But anyway, my first thought was: "But Rowena didn't have prestige or power :blob_popcorn_two:," but then I realized that she did have it. She simply refused to use it, because she stayedin her annex like some super rich hikikomori.
But yeah, it kind of even emulates the protagonists sense of... humor, if you wanna call it that. A bit anyway.

Thaaaaaaank you soooooooooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuch! :blob_melt::blob_aww::blob_salute:
