Chloe has read The Villainess's Ruin a dozen times. She knows exactly how it ends: the spoiled heiress Amber loses her fiancé, her family, and her reputation, while her sweet stepsister Sophia gets the happy ending she deserves. It's a satisfying story — right up until the night Chloe misses her own life's biggest opportunity to help a stranger, falls asleep furious and heartbroken over a book, and wakes up in Amber's bed, wearing Amber's face, three months before the engagement that ruins everything. She knows what's coming. She knows who to avoid, who to trust, and exactly which choice destroys Amber's life. So she'll simply choose differently — save the villainess by refusing to be one. It should be easy. It isn't. Amber wasn't innocent, and the world Chloe's living in doesn't match the book chapter for chapter. People she remembers as harmless start making choices no one wrote for them. A stepsister who was supposed to be a saint has secrets of her own. And the deeper Chloe digs into the mother Amber lost too young, the more she suspects the novel she memorized left out the one story that actually matters — including why a coldly brilliant CEO named Williams keeps looking at her like he already knows the answer. Chloe came here to rewrite a villainess's fate. She's starting to wonder if she was ever told the real one.
