"Keep your happily ever after, it ain't mine." 

Doomed to live forever as a side character, a dragon-shifter resigns herself to her fate. Story after story, she creates the main characters' happy endings, even at the cost of sacrificing her own.

In her latest story, she inhabits the body of Jia, the best friend and third wheel in a cheap romance tale. However, when characters deviate from the script, 'Jia' must navigate the unpredictable plot twists to prevent the system from crumbling. Failure could mean being trapped in that world forever which forces her to enlist the help of a mysterious thief lurking in the shadows who holds the key to her escape.

Thrown into the spotlight for the first time,  will she rise to the challenge? Or will succumb to her inevitable fate, forever the side character?

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of their unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car crash. But this isn't the end of her story. Her spirit is picked up by her brother, a beginner god who needs help raising the hero of his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her an opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a semi-ageless body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else.
