Your husband. I love you.” He becomes her eyes in public, her shield in private, and her secret map through a world that no longer has faces.

But one day, she wakes up inside one of those very novels, as the unlucky princess destined to die a tragic death. The script says she will be married off to a barbaric prince, tortured, and killed tragically. But Xiao Zhi refuses to accept that ending. Armed with her editor’s sharp eye and modern wit, she vows to rewrite her fate, outsmart her enemies, and survive. The problem? No matter what she does, the story stubbornly plays out as it was written. Every move she makes only brings her closer to the death she’s trying to escape. How can she survive a story that refuses to be rewritten?

People are ugly. The more I see, the more I feel, the more I experience-I am certain of it. They are cruel, mean, and selfish. They would burn you just to keep their own homes a little brighter. All of them. Even the ones you trust with your life will find a way to betray you in the cruelest way possible. And while you are left sifting through the wreckage, asking what went wrong and how it went wrong, they simply move on with their lives. Happily. I used to be happy. I had hobbies. I used to smile more; I used to live, not just exist. Now, I am trapped in a daily competition with myself, one that only pulls me deeper down. I catch myself wishing for bad things to happen to others, a thought I recoil from, and the guilt of it eats me alive. I cannot remember the last time I knew real happiness. The glimpses I get feel less like joy and more like a privilege I don't deserve-a truth more painful to admit than I'd like. I have never liked people. They are all liars. My mother was. My father was. Everyone I have met. Now that I think about it, I don't feel a real connection to anyone. Even with those I believe I truly like, it feels like I can never truly open up. There is always a wall. My deepest hope has always been simple: for one person to truly know me. To see the worst and still say, "You are not a bad person." To love me-not with a hidden grudge or a bitter kindness-but with a love strong enough to pull me from this darkness.

Short Synopsis- This is a story about a woman who lost everything, and in hopes of finding the pieces of herself that the world had consumed, she travelled through worlds and became what she considered untouchable, only to find herself merely a pawn in a darkness deeper than she had ever known. Now, after being granted a taste of freedom, she recollects the emotions and feelings she had lost, before using hundreds of years of pain, loss, and struggle as the fuel for revenge. -- Long Synopsis- My name is Evren Lestir. Once, I was a girl who saw the world in colors so bright, they could warm even the coldest soul. But life has a cruel way of testing even the brightest flames. After losing everything I held dear, I drifted through a hollow existence—numb to the world, blind to its colors, and deaf to its call. I thought nothing could reignite the light I lost. Then The System found me. With shimmering blue panels and words that hummed like perfect promises, it pulled me into another reality—a maze of endless worlds stitched together by missions, monsters, and the illusion of progress. A labyrinth where forward was the only option. At first, I thought it was salvation. Each step, each battle, each drop of blood painted forgotten colors back into my world. I grew drunk on the hues I had lost, chasing the sky’s beauty with a childlike wonder, believing the fields and hills before me were all there was. But a torch shining in a narrow corridor can make even a prison look like a palace. In truth, I was a frog at the bottom of a well, gazing at a fragment of a sky—naïve to the infinite world beyond the gritty stone walls built by The System. But after a mistake in that omnipotent construct, I found myself peeking through a crack in the wall, presented with a fragment of the truth I never saw. This maze was never meant to be escaped. It was never meant to be climbed—not even to glimpse the sky beyond. Yet through that slender crack, a flicker of sunlight ignited something long-buried within me—a spark of the campfire I once carried. I will chase that light. I will see beyond these walls. And I will remember the world they tried to bury. Even if every strike I make against the walls sends ripples of ruin through the maze.

{released 20 extra chapters as new year gift.... enjoy reading} Excerpt~ “I told you not to steal anything. It’s illegal!” I frowned at him. “I don’t get why Earthlings can’t just take whatever they want. It’s produced on your planet, right?” “Ugh, right—but we have a money system to follow. We don’t just take things without permission!” I said, snatching it back from his hand. “Hm? But… you stole my heart. Is that legal?” he said, leaning closer with a mischievous smirk.
