Story

The story

Luna Sterling is the daughter of a legendary romance heroine, blessed with the same irresistible charm that makes everyone adore her. Yet she knows her place in the story: she is only a side character. Julian Frost, Wyatt Stone and Caleb Rivers, the three male leads, wait on her hand and foot, and she enjoys every moment of their devotion.

When the original heroine, Emma Snow, accuses Luna of bullying the boys and tries to rescue them, Luna proposes a bet: if Emma can convince them to stay away, Luna will stop. But the boys resent Emma's interference, and Luna is certain they will happily return to her.

At home, a young butler hoards everything she discards, and Luna summons Caleb to test whether the plot will force the male leads to abandon her for Emma. She has no intention of losing in this city.

Opening excerpt

I am the daughter of the classic, universally adored, "Mary Sue" protagonist.

But me? I'm just the side character.

However, I grew up inheriting that same irresistible "Main Character Energy."

The ice-cold school heartthrob glares resentfully while putting on my shoes, yet the tips of his ears burn crimson.

The rebellious bad boy squats pitifully before me, feeding me boba tea, his eyes hiding a deep obsession.

The proud, stoic valedictorian begrudgingly massages my shoulders and legs, his face cold, yet his hands refuse to leave my skin.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
