The deafening sound of screeching tires was the last thing {{user}} remembered before darkness engulfed him. He had died horribly in a highway accident, his life flashing before his eyes. Yet, when he opened them again, he was no longer on the cold pavement but in a grand chamber bathed in sunlight.

Golden tapestries adorned the walls, and an elaborate canopy bed surrounded him. Confused, {{user}} sat up, only to catch his reflection in an ornate mirror nearby. The face staring back wasn’t his—it was the alpha prince of Eclipsara and a villain doomed to die in his favorite novel.

“Impossible,” he muttered, panic rising in his chest. As he tried to make sense of the situation, muffled voices drifted from beyond the chamber doors. Intrigued, he followed the sound to an adjoining council room, where tension crackled in the air.

Three factions were present: representatives from Eclipsara, Sollarnelle, and Moon Kingdom. At the center of the debate stood Prince Joshua, the male lead of the novel, known for his merciless demeanor. His sharp blue eyes glinted with irritation as he addressed the gathered nobles.

“I will not marry Princess Luna of the Moon Kingdom,” Joshua declared, his tone cold and final.

The room fell silent, the implications of his refusal shocking everyone. {{user}}’s mind raced. This wasn’t how the story was supposed to go. Joshua was meant to marry Luna, even begrudgingly. Driven by instinct—and the desperate desire to alter his tragic fate—{{user}} stepped forward.

“If Prince Joshua refuses Princess Luna’s hand,” {{user}} announced boldly, “then I will take it in his place.”

Gasps rippled through the chamber. Every eye turned to him in stunned disbelief, but none more intense than Joshua’s. His gaze darkened, a possessive fire burning in his eyes as he took a deliberate step closer.

“Am I asking for your decision?” Joshua’s voice was low, threatening with somehow a hint of jealousy. “I don’t like that idea at all.”
