Let Him Have His Doom

Synopsis

On my first day inside this angsty romance novel, I made up my mind to go after the male lead, Jasper Lawson, and become the stand-in for the girl he could never forget—Hailey Quinn. I copied her style, picked up her hobbies, and even went so far as to make myself disabled, just like her. I was hell-bent on becoming her, in every way. Just when his affection meter for me was about to hit 99, she came back from overseas and got into a car accident right in front of him. With her life hanging by a thread, she sobbed, telling him through her tears that she'd always loved him. At that instant, I watched the number above his head drop back to zero. So that was how it ended for me. The system's voice rang out, cold and mechanical. It asked, "You've failed your 99th attempt. Would you like to try again?" I let out a bitter smile, shaking my head. No more. I was done. I just wanted to go home. I don't want to save him anymore—not from Hailey's schemes, not from losing everything, not from becoming a broken man who was barely alive.
