One moment, Lina was living a normal life. The next, she woke up as Evelina Ashbourne—the villainess of a fantasy novel she had already read. The problem? Evelina's fate is already decided. Execution. Refusing to accept such an ending, Lina decides to change the story no matter what it takes. But every choice she makes pushes the world further away from the original plot, uncovering secrets that were never meant to exist. As the line between fiction and reality slowly disappears, one question remains: Can she find her way back home... or is she destined to stay forever?
