"If you’re given a chance to live once more, will you take it? Even if… it comes at a cost?" ________________ After working herself to death at a young age, Senara Lee woke up in her younger self. Thankful for a second chance, she made a promise that in this life, she would live for herself. While trying to rediscover her long-lost self, she befriended Kaiden Ma—a pro gamer she met online. What she didn’t know was that he was also the world-known handsome genius and the richest heir of the East. However, he had a little problem. One—he was way too grumpy; and two—he was mysophobic (hates touching). With his condition making it hard to find a partner, and his family pushing him for one, he made a deal with Senara to be his fake ‘girlfriend.’ And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game of fake relationship (with a twist) begins. As Senara journeyed through her second life, alongside Kaiden and their friends, the “Guardians of Fate” laid in wait. What would they do with this romance that wasn’t supposed to be? And what was the cost of this new life she was given? ______________________________ Don't forget to VOTE, COMMENT, and REVIEW Instagram / TiktTok: macy_bae_writes _____________ Please do not plagiarize this book or post it on different platforms.

'It's amazing how his presence calmed me down in an instant. I don't know why but I feel comfortable with him. I usually don't get along with men except for Ken who was my childhood friend, but with him… I can talk freely, act freely, and just be myself without any restriction. And when I'm in serious trouble or danger… somehow he's always there. From the incident with my dad, and my argument with my mom, during the awarding ceremony, and now this. I wonder if…'
