The Resetting Lady (The Crimson Lady)

The clocks never stopped in her world. They bled backwards, hands twitching against time’s will, dragging her into yesterdays she never asked to relive. Each tick was a sentence, each chime a verdict—condemning her to return, to reset, to wear the same fate again and again. The novel she transmigrated to was her murderer, abuser, perpetrator. The mirrors whispered Karen's face, not hers. Memory and prophecy blurred until she could no longer tell whether she was running from her past or suffocated by the present or chasing her future. With every reset, something within her cracked a little more—like glass thinning before the final shatter. It was the 100th reincarnation where she who lived as Karen Heyer finally cracked and decided to avenge herself by killing everyone who ever wronged her.
