This is the story of three people. Gray was a young man whose only wish was to make everyone around him happy through his kindness. But one day, that very kindness would become the reason his entire life was destroyed. Ava was a sweet and innocent girl with dreams of becoming someone extraordinary. Together, she and Gray dreamed of building a small world where they could live in peace. And then there was Emma—a girl who never understood what emotions truly were. Yet somehow, love found its way into her heart... and slowly transformed into an obsession. But who is the one she is obsessed with? More importantly... Is everything you're seeing really the truth? Or is it all just a mask hiding something far darker? The answers await within this novel.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
