In her previous life, Bethany was a top-tier survivor in an apocalyptic world where clean water and food was rarer than diamonds and betrayal came quicker than bullets. Ruthless, smart, and fiercely adaptive, she rose to become the leader of The Red Dawn Alliance, a powerful syndicate of Awakened ability users. But just when she thought she'd secured peace for her people, her most trusted aide and the only friend she dared to have stabbed her in the back in exchange for power. Literally. Now, Bethany wakes up… not dead, not in the apocalypse but inside a historical Chinese novel called Crimson Blossoms Under Heaven, a dark revenge drama she had once binge-read for the plot (and the hot male lead). She’s not the heroine. Nope. Instead, she had become Lan Yue, a lowly handmaiden doomed to die after betraying her mistress, the novel’s brilliant heroine. A cannon fodder side character destined to be nothing more than a footnote. But Lan Yue had no intention of playing her role. Why fight for someone else’s glory? Why throw herself into dog-blood drama filled with betrayal, revenge, and endless schemes? All she wanted was simple: Eat good food. Sleep as much as she wanted. Live quietly, far away from the chaos. Unfortunately… the heroine had other ideas. At first, her smiles were sweet, her words dripping with warmth. But the more time passed, the more Lan Yue noticed something was wrong. The heroine’s touches lingered too long. Her gaze burned hotter than it should. And instead of chasing the male lead, she clung closer and closer to her. “Lan Yue,” the heroine’s lips curled in a chilling smile, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re mine.” Lan Yue: “...” Wait. Weren’t you supposed to love the hero?! Please also check out my other books Why Is Every Male Lead Obsessed With Me?!

Jim Oliver is the golden boy of his community—vibrant, well-liked, and the pride of his devout Christian family. Since the age of eleven, Jim has been under the strict tutelage of his father, a pastor at the Grace Covenant Church, grooming him to inherit the same mantle of faith and service. For Jim, the path of righteousness is narrow, clear, and absolute. That clarity vanishes with the arrival of his older cousin, Mauwa Gene. Sent to live with the Olivers while attending a nearby university, Mauwa is a magnetic presence that Jim cannot reconcile with his world. While Jim is friendly to everyone else, he treats Mauwa with a cold, desperate distance. To Jim, Mauwa is a walking paradox: simultaneously attractive and repulsive. The closer Mauwa gets, the more Jim feels the foundations of his religious upbringing tremble. Terrified that this infatuation is a "distraction" that will compromise his soul and his father's expectations, Jim takes drastic measures to silence his heart—including forcing himself into a relationship with a girlfriend he doesn't truly want. Yet, no matter how harshly Jim pushes him away, Mauwa refuses to leave his side. As the tension between them nears a breaking point, Jim is forced to confront a haunting question: Is he running from his cousin, or is he running from a version of himself he was never allowed to meet?
