Morphology

in + your + world

The literal composition 'in' + 'your' + 'world' clearly yields the idea of something being inside someone’s personal perspective or experience, so a B1 learner who knows the parts can infer the basic meaning. However, the common pragmatic/sarcastic use (implying the idea is unrealistic or true only for that person) requires pragmatic inference and is not fully predictable from the words alone, so the phrase is only partially transparent.

Etymology

In your world comes from the picture of someone living inside their own little world, like a person in a room or bubble where things look different. So saying in your world means 'from your point of view' or 'in your imagination', often when that view is not the same as real life.
