Life After Death by Ice Cream

Nothing ruins your day like getting hit by an ice cream truck. For Amara Lyselle, a 24-year-old history professor tired of her routine, life comes to an abrupt end just when she decides to indulge in some luxury chocolate. But instead of a peaceful afterlife, Amara finds herself thrust into an alternate world that looks a lot like hers except she’s now one of the rivals vying for the affection of the world’s dashing hero. As if being dead and reincarnated as a romantic antagonist wasn’t bad enough, she has to navigate a confusing new reality with the help of an annoying "system" that seems to have a personality of its own. The good news? She has a second chance at life. The bad news? She has no idea how to survive in this strange world, avoid falling into ridiculous romantic drama, or even get back to her old life if that’s even possible.

I’m trying to think

Elara sat in the Lyselle manor's grand library, surrounded by ancient tomes, some so dusty she was certain they hadn't been opened since the dawn of time. The room was quiet, save for the occasional creak of the floorboards and the relentless sarcasm of the disembodied voice that had become her reluctant companion.

[You know, if you sit there sighing long enough, you might summon a ghost. Although, to be fair, they'd probably be less annoying than you.]

Elara glared at the air. "I'm trying to think, System. Unlike you, I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the universe. Maybe if you gave me helpful advice instead of constant insults, we'd get somewhere."

[Fine, fine. Let's review. Amara your Amara is currently trapped in some mind-prison crafted by the Original Amara, who, by the way, shares the same body. Your task? Find a way to access that mental space, break the chains, and bring her back before she's completely erased. Easy peasy.]
