He becomes increasingly fascinated, not just by her, but by strange anomalies appearing in his photos—glitches, light distortions, and spectral figures.

After Caelan's car accident left him disabled, I cared for him for seven whole years. With meticulous attention and love, I touched his heart. He gave me the family heirloom jade bracelet. He swore that once he could stand again, he'd marry me, dedicating his life to repay my devotion. But his first act upon recovery was to go street racing with his first love. I rushed to stop them, heavily pregnant, only to be hit by the out-of-control car and miscarry. While in the hospital, I accidentally overheard Caelan chatting with a friend. "Goldie's got real feelings for you. It's bad enough you secretly got hitched to Vivienne, but how could you use such a vicious method to make her miscarry?" Caelan chuckled indifferently, "The maid's daughter? Just a plaything. She can't compare to Vivienne." "Letting her stay by my side for seven years was already a blessing for her. As for anything else, she doesn't deserve it."

The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?"
