In a world where stories leave scars, love is the deepest wound of all. Readers are born cursed-unable to resist the pull of fiction, unable to distinguish the page from reality. Every novel they consume is lived in full: every heartbreak, every death, every betrayal etched into their body and soul as if it were their own. While Authors create pain with ink, Readers bleed for it. She is one such Reader-worn down by thousands of lives she never asked to live, hearts she never wanted to love, and endings she was forced to endure. He is an Author-cold, untouched, immune to emotion by design. Until he sees her. Until something cracks. When an unfinished manuscript draws them together, the impossible happens: he begins to feel. She begins to break. As their worlds collide, one finds purpose, the other seeks escape. But in a story built on imbalance-where one can only feel too much and the other nothing at all-love was never meant to save them. Only ruin them.Complete
