"Paulo, a call center agent who lives for late-night manga marathons, despises the villain CEO of his current favorite series - a cocky, ruthless man also named Paulo who'll do anything to steal Heart from the kind main guy, Kennan. After pulling an all-nighter taking calls and ranting about how 'that bastard ruins everything,' he dozes off with the manga open on his chest.
He wakes up in a penthouse office, wearing a suit that makes him feel suffocated - and staring at a mirror showing the face of the very villain he hates. He's trapped as the CEO he loathes. Panicked, he decides his only goal is to fix the story: help Kennan win Heart's heart, so he can get back to his real life and never have to be this terrible character again.
But the moment he starts working behind the scenes - setting up dates for Kennan and Heart, stepping back from his own advances - the story begins to shift. As he spends more time with Kennan, teaching him how to impress Heart, he notices the way Kennan's eyes crinkle when he laughs, how he always offers to share his coffee, how he looks at Paulo like he's more than just a rival.
Slowly, the plan to help Kennan win Heart fades into the background. Instead, Paulo finds himself wanting to be the one making Kennan smile - and suddenly, being trapped as this villain doesn't feel like a curse anymore... it feels like a second chance at something he never saw coming."
