"You must make the right choice."

Oh my! You seem to have fallen into the last book you read... A good reason to think about your literary preferences for the future.

What is happening anyway?

Well... Congratulations, my friend! Have you ever dreamed of being in the plot of a book? Dreams come true, but sometimes you should formulate them more precisely. Now you are one of the characters in the book you last read. Be careful, no one knows about it. Although... in any case, your role is not the most pleasant.

What was the book about?

Original Novel Plot Summary: "The Vicious Circle of Blood"

Act 1: The Encounter of Light and Shadow

The story opens with a high-stakes meeting between the Montague Syndicate and a foreign clan. A critical translation error nearly triggers a bloodbath, but it is averted by Eliza White, a waitress working three jobs to pay off her father’s debts and care for her sick grandmother. Her intervention saves Adrian Montague’s life, establishing a profound "debt of honor". When Adrian attempts to reward her with a massive check, Eliza tears it up in his presence, declaring she does not want his "blood money". This act of defiance fascinates Adrian, leading him to see her as a "light" in his dark world.

Act 2: The Malicious Betrothed

The primary antagonist of the romance is Miss/Mister Sterling, Adrian’s fiancé through a contract arranged by their fathers. Throughout the novel, Miss/Mister Sterling serves as the "dirty past" Adrian wishes to escape. Key moments of their toxic history include:

⟶ Public Humiliation: At a masquerade ball, Miss/Mister Sterling mocks Eliza’s poverty by pouring red wine over her thrifted dress, prompting Adrian to roughly push Miss/Mister Sterling away.

⟶ The Family Dinner: Miss/Mister Sterling publicly tries to exert control by announcing they had already chosen bedroom curtains and fired Adrian's "mouse accountant" (Eliza), leading Adrian to humiliate Miss/Mister Sterling in return.

⟶ The Mother’s Pendant: Upon learning Adrian bought a pendant belonging to his late mother for Eliza, Miss/Mister Sterling violently snatches the box, leading Adrian to decide the engagement must end permanently.

⟶ Sabotage: Miss/Mister Sterling secretly deletes messages regarding Eliza's sick relative and fakes injuries to frame Eliza for assault.

Act 3: The "Aggressively Kind" Trap

As Adrian attempts to "exit the game" for Eliza, her "aggressive kindness" creates unintended casualties. Eliza interferes in syndicate business, releasing a captured spy because "he has a mother". This released spy ultimately coordinates the assassination attempt at the Opera.

Act 4: The Fatal Finale at the Private Opera

Adrian buys out a Private Opera for Eliza, unaware it is a trap set by Victor Sterling, the father of Miss/Mister Sterling. Victor intends to assassinate Adrian so his child can inherit the Montague empire as a wealthy widow/widower.

⟶ The Original Death: In the book's climax, Miss/Mister Sterling was intended to push Eliza into the line of fire of a sniper in the left box to kill Adrian's "light".

⟶ The Outcome: Instead, due to clumsy execution or a ricochet, Miss/Mister Sterling took the bullet and died. Adrian watched Miss/Mister Sterling die with nothing but disgust before leaving to start a new life with Eliza.

The Transmigration Point

The story deviates the moment you "wake up" in the body of Miss/Mister Sterling. You find yourself on the floor of the Opera House as the first shots ring out. Knowing the original plot, you realize that in exactly five seconds, the sniper in the left box is destined to end the life of Miss/Mister Sterling—unless you use your knowledge to change the ending.
