In the heart of Manila, beneath a flickering bridge, two lives collide. Kiano is clever and determined, dreaming of becoming a lawyer, a dream that feels impossible against the weight of the streets. Dax is fierce and protective, a survivor who has claimed the bridge as his own. When Kiano arrives seeking shelter, their worlds clash. Dax sees defiance and cleverness where Kiano sees survival, Kiano sees care and courage where Dax sees only dominance. Forced together by storms, street gangs, and the relentless city, they must navigate tension, trust, and desire. As rain pours over steel beams, Kiano and Dax discover intimacy in stolen glances, shared shelter, and quiet gestures, love growing in the margins of a city that forgets them. Even amidst hardship and neglect, they learn that connection can bloom, hearts can open, and hope can endure. Where the rain falls first, so do hearts, and sometimes, they fall together.

For an extra inside a novel, there is no concept of life and death, and the clock never stops ticking with or without them. That's what Callista had to learn the hard way when she got transmigrated as an extra inside the last novel she was reading. What's supposed to be another shot of lifetime becomes a never-ending cycle of death, wherein she has to die during major turning points in the story in order to advance the plot. And so, she dies and comes back to life in the same body, only to wake up in a different setting each time. Such is the cruel fate of an extra, whom everyone forgets as each chapter progresses. However, in every story, there's always a twist. For Callista, he was the twist, the second male lead of the novel and the person who's willing to find her every time the story arc ends: Alistair, the Grand Duke of the Averill duchy.
