Chapter 00: "The Awakening" The rain poured relentlessly down on the gray streets. Maria Davis, twenty-five years old, hurried along under her broken umbrella. Her hair was a mess, her simple work clothes were wet and torn, and her eyes burned with exhaustion. It was always the same: go, work, live for others. Her family barely even looked at her unless it was to sacrifice her for her sister. She had studied and worked for years so her sister wouldn't have to struggle. But tonight... everything changed. Suddenly, the blinding light of a car's headlights hit her eyes. SCREECH! BANG! Her body went numb. In the darkness, she thought it was over. But a strange voice, like the whisper of the wind, echoed in her ear: "Do you want to live?" Her heart beat faster. She didn't want to give up like this. With all her might, she screamed: "Yes! Let me live! I promise this time, I'll be for myself!" A white light engulfed everything. When she opened her eyes, she was no longer Maria. In the mirror, the face of Elina Blackwood-the villain from a story she had just read-stared back at her: shining silver hair, a luxurious, ornate dress, and eyes filled with pride. The opulent room spun around her. She screamed in horror: "What is going on here?!!!" And silence... only silence. Her new life, in the body of a villain, had begun.

Adrian died believing the villain deserved a happy ending. Then he woke up inside his favorite novel-not as the hero, but as the Crown Prince destined to kill the Demon Lord. Bound by a ruthless World System that demands the original tragedy, Adrian must choose between following the story... or saving the man who was never meant to be loved. But every attempt to change fate awakens an ancient soul bond, and the more Adrian saves the villain, the more dangerously obsessed Cassian Nyx becomes with him. When the entire world wants the Demon Lord dead... will Adrian rewrite destiny, or die trying?
