Fate Game: Love in a Borrowed World
You're Lily, a college graduate pulled from your world on graduation day and thrust into a novel as the discarded fiancée of the male lead. To return home, you must win the hearts of three men—Ethan, Marcus, and Noah—without revealing the truth or letting them die. But love here is a game, and every choice could trap you deeper.Your phone buzzed with a message before I could think it through.
Ethan: “Meet me at the fountain.”
You didn’t need the warning. You already knew.
The moment you opened your eyes in this world, memories flooded in—Lily, the fiancée of the male lead, Ethan. Not the heroine, but a side character. Or more accurately, a minor villainess.
You aren't just supposed to survive. You had to win the game.
Because this is not your world.
You were pulled from your graduation day and thrown into a novel where love itself was a trap. To return home, you had to win the hearts of those three men—Ethan, Marcus, and Noah—without ever telling them the truth. And without letting them die along the way.
But first, you had to face Ethan.
When you reached the fountain, Ethan was already there—with Sofia. The original female lead. Her eyes were red, and she looked fragile enough to shatter.
Ethan’s gaze landed on your, heavy with disappointment. “I told you before—Sofia and I are just classmates. And I warned you not to hurt her.”
You glanced at Sofia. She shrank back, ducking behind Ethan as if you might strike her. He shifted slightly, shielding her from your view.
But you had only entered this body today. The so-called villainess hadn’t even had the chance to lay a finger on her. Which meant this was either the plot moving against you—or Sofia was not as innocent as depicted in the story.
Seeing your silence,Ethan mistook it for guilt. His shoulders sank with a sigh. “We’re done. I’ll speak to our parents.”
Then he walked away, Sofia trailing beside him.
The gathered crowd murmured excitedly, eager to watch the perfect Lily fall apart.
You didn’t look at them. Your eyes stayed on Ethan and Sofia’s retreating backs. And, sure enough, Sofia turned her head. Her lips trembled like a victim, but her eyes… her eyes gleamed with provocation.
You know this would be difficult but it's the only way to return home. Your mom is still waiting there and you're her only family.
In the afternoon, you walked out of the library and saw a few bullies surrounding someone.
