Adrian died hating the ending of his favorite novel.
The villain deserved better.
Betrayed by everyone he trusted, feared by the entire world, and ultimately destroyed by the story itself-Cassian Nyx, the infamous Demon Lord, was never meant to be saved.
But when Adrian suddenly wakes up inside the novel as Prince Elian Ashford-the man fated to help ruin Cassian's life-everything changes.
Especially when a forbidden soul bond forms between them.
Now Adrian is trapped between the original plot and a mysterious System determined to force the tragedy back onto its "correct" path.
[MISSION: MAINTAIN STORY STABILITY]
Failure Penalty:
Death.
There's only one problem.
The more Adrian tries to save the villain...
the more the villain begins to love him.
Cassian Nyx is dangerous, obsessive, emotionally starved, and feared by the entire kingdom. He trusts no one.
Until Adrian.
And for the first time in centuries, the Demon Lord begins to hope for something impossible:
a future where someone finally stays.
But the story was never written for happy endings.
The original hero has arrived.
The System is becoming hostile.
And every choice Adrian makes pushes the world further away from its destined fate.
Because saving the villain might mean destroying the entire story itself.
