Synopsis
I spent ten years chasing the devoted second male lead. When Evander Hayes finally gave me the fairy-tale wedding I’d always dreamed of, I thought I had won.
After we married, he treated me like I was the center of his universe—lavish gifts, gentle affection, unwavering devotion. To everyone else, we were perfect. But the unease in my heart never faded.
Because the System’s progress bar still showed zero.
On our first wedding anniversary, I found a diary hidden in the drawer of his study. That’s when everything unraveled.
Evander had awakened.
He knew this world was nothing more than a novel. He knew I was the vicious female supporting character destined to hurt the heroine, Sophia Reed. And he knew the woman he truly loved had always been her.
To protect Sophia, he had spent the past decade pretending—pretending to adore me, to cherish me, to build a life with me—just to keep me under control.
The moment the truth sank in, the System’s cold notification echoed in my mind:
Mission failed. You will be erased in forty-eight hours.
