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.

Lessons in CEO Survival

Amara squinted at the fluorescent lights of Lyselle Media's boardroom, a cup of coffee clutched like a lifeline. It wasn't even 8 a.m., and she already felt like she'd run a marathon. Across from her, Helena Lyselle sat primly, her impeccable suit practically glowing with authority. Gerald, meanwhile, was flipping through a thick folder with the disinterest of someone reviewing ancient relics.

"Lesson one," Helena began crisply, her tone sharp enough to slice glass. "The first impression is everything. Your posture is atrocious, Amara. Straighten up. You're a CEO-in-training, not a bored teenager."

Amara groaned and reluctantly sat up, though she made sure her expression conveyed maximum suffering. "Why does sitting upright feel like a punishment?"

"Because it's a skill you've never practiced," Helena shot back, her eyes narrowing. "Posture exudes power. If you look like you don't care, your employees won't either."
