When Laura Evans opens her eyes, it feels like an entire novel has been stuffed into her brain. Lines of text flash past her, every word cutting deep. She discovers that she is the heroine of an old-school tragedy romance, doomed to be framed, humiliated, abandoned, and destroyed for the sake of a cold-hearted man named Charles Renner and his perfect childhood sweetheart, Charlotte Sinclair. In the story, Laura kneels in the rain, cries in hospital beds, gets publicly shamed at a wedding, takes a knife for Charles, gives up a kidney, and even loses her corneas. In the end, she dies in his arms smiling, while he becomes the tragic hero readers can't forget. After reading the final line, Laura wakes in a panic and sees the date on her phone: October 15, 2024. The first nightmare scene is less than two days away. At Renner Corporation's charity gala, Charlotte will set her up and Charles will humiliate her for the first time. But as Laura stares at the contact name "Charles" on her phone, all her memories come back. She remembers who she really was: an ordinary office worker who died from overwork and somehow transmigrated into this novel. The old Laura was nothing but a puppet controlled by the plot. But now the plot has broken, and she has finally awakened.
