Drown in the darkness, the plot of the story flash in my head.

I was transmigrated to the world the same world I came from.

Maina Collin, the protagonist of the story and the only biological daughter of the Collins. The female protagonist's nanny swaps her newly born granddaughter to her place resulting Maina's supposedly princessly life full of fairy tales turn to become simple and quiet in the countryside.

Evo Matte, the male protagonist, just like in every teen romance story, the male lead is a young master of a powerful family. Unknown to outsiders, Evo is not the biological son of Mr. Matte's legal wife as she can't conceive a child. Leaving with no choice, Evo was recognized by her father's legal wife as her own. In public, they are a loving family of three but in reality the family of three neither 'loving' nor 'family' and not even 'three'. While the legal wife is the known perfect wife and mother by the public, the uneducated social climber but loving mistress stood as a caring mother and wife inside their mansion.

The male lead and female lead first met when Evo was twelve and Maina was eleven. The young beautiful quick witted playful girl happened to meet the young master on his sorry state who lost his way from his team in the wild. The little girl with big heart saved him attend to his injuries 'til his team rescued him.

The main characters met again at the capital when Maina was 'adopted' by her biological family. With a reason of the female protagonist growing up from the countryside, her parents are not confident with her thus can only recognize her as their adopted daughter while the smart, talented, and beautiful granddaughter of their maid was their recognized legal daughter whom not only seize the female protagonist's position in her family but also her fiance.

Heiro Klin, the second male lead of the story and also the supposed fiance of the female protagonist. He wouldn't be called the second male lead if he's not the perfect young master who have everything aside from the female lead's true love. Having the one sided love his main role is to be an additional factor of jealousy of the main leads' young love story.

The story goes on as the the main characters fell in love deeper to each other but soon to be disturbed by the real deal villain of the story, Yuri Cooper, fiancee of the male lead. A beautiful rich young heiress, the perfect match to the male lead in the eyes of everyone but unfortunately not in the eyes of her own fiance, Evo Matte. No one in the circle didn't know that the young heiress have unrequited love to her fiance since childhood.

The beautiful young princess also didn't have her easy life as her parents did have their own third parties that ended up to be known by the public. When the twelve years old Yuri gets to know about this, she runs to the male lead aka her first love expecting to be comforted but because the male lead himself is a son of a mistress, he even get more irritated to the words spouted by Yuri. The young confuse Yuri went home only to know her parents already decided to transfer her to another country 'til the scandal subsided.

When she came back after six years, the spoiled brat young heiress is now smarter and calmer while plotting her schemes to gain her fiance back but only failed with the male lead and second male lead protecting the female protagonist.

Opening my eyes, a two story tall high metal gate is in front of me. Memories of the owner's body flooded my head. After organizing the information, my excitement arouse more.

"Of course this cliche teen romance story would be boring if I'm not the villain of the story, Yuri Cooper."

Chapter 2: Rewriting the Farewell Scene

The twelve years old Yuri took public transportation for the first time all the way to the male lead's residence after knowing the third parties of her parents. In the original story, she ended up angering her fiance with her careless words regarding third parties as the male lead is sensitive in this topic as he himself is a son of a third party. Before things went unfavourable to the villain of the story, the original Yuri was replaced by another soul who have a fully understanding of the overall situation.

Currently, inside the Matte's mansion, the butler inform Grandma Matte of the arrival of the young lady of the Coopers. The old madam didn't waste time and told his grandson to accompany his fiancee as the affairs of the young heiress' parents are now the headlines of the news, naturally the old madam understood the reason of the young lady's sudden visit.

Now on her sorry state, 'Yuri' was personally invited by the the male protagonist himself.

"I—is grandma inside?"

Evo, although confuse, nodded and escorted her to his grandmother.

Yuri seeing the old lady, her action was still restrained with Evo's presence. She then silently asked,

"C—can Yuri have some g—grandma's time?"

Although confuse as the grandmother-grandson pair both expected the young lady is here for her fiance, they both understood Yuri's request.

Sighing softly, the old madam look at her grandson and softly tap the back of his hand. The young master is not bothered at all, he walks out of the scene but did not get too far.

Yuri sadly look at Evo's departing back and when he's no longer in view she hurriedly run towards the old lady. The old madam did open her arms to be able to accomodate the little girl's small frame.

"G—grandma. Grandma." a low sob came from Yuri as her tears continuously flow from her eyes.

Grandma Matte tighten her hug to comfort her more as she caress her hair. "Yes. I'm here my granddaughter. I'm here."

A louder sob heard from the hall as the young lady state vague words but some are still recognizable. Just as expected, the reason of her visit was connected to her parents' affairs.

When Yuri calm down the two broke from their hug. The old madam took a tissue from the side and carefully wipe Yuri's tears but soon her hand abruptly froze when the young lady state her next words.

"Grandma, I—I want to b—break the engagement with big brother."

Evo, from afar about to step back from his eavesdropping spot ready to go upstair, stops. His eyebrows almost meet and a confusion is now visible on his face. He want to confirm if he heard it right.

"My granddadughter, wh—what are you saying?"

"Grandma. I don't want to be like mom and dad. I—I want to get married to the person I love and...and to—to the person who also loves me."

A shock appeared on the old madam's eyes as she held Yuri's hand.

"My granddaughter Yuri—"

Yuri raise her head and look at her hands being caress by the old lady. "Grandma, I—I know. Everyone knows. I know Big Brother Evo d—don't like me." She lower her head more. "I like him but he don't like me. I know it."

The old lady's eyes soften as her other hand started to caress the young lady's hair again. When Yuri's hurt and full of sadness eyes met hers, the old madam's eyes almost teared for the child.

"My Yuri. Oh my Yuri. You are still young and so with my grandson Evo. Big brother may not like you now but when—" Grandma Matte stops on her next words when Yuri's eyes grew more hurt as she slowly shake her head.

"Grandma, love can't be force just like mom and dad."

Yuri showed a forced smile to the old lady "I can still be grandma's granddaughter even without marrying big brother. Don't be lonely grandma, hmm?"

A weak smile appeared on the old madam's face and just caress Yuri's hair, "Ofcourse, Yuri is my favorite granddaughter and would only be my granddaughter. Let me accompany you on your way home. I'm sure your parents are worried about you. I also wanted to talk to your parents." 

The old madam stood up as Yuri carefully supported her walking on their way out.

Not from afar, Evo's line of sight was on the departing back of the petite young girl unknown to him his knuckles are subconsciously tighten.

The moment the old lady's focus was on instructing the helpers, a smirk appeared on Yuri's face. She tried not to look at the boy's direction from afar acting oblivious of his stare, Yuri look back to the direction of Evo's room as she gave a smile full of sadness like she's bidding a farewell to the owner of the room

Just like that, the soul inside Yuri rewrite the male protagonist and the villain's farewell scene.

Chapter 3: The Debutante

"Breaking the engagement? Is this because of about—us?" Mother Cooper awkwardly asked but with the hint of anger, pain, disappointment, and guilt.

The old madam slowly shook her head thrice softly sighing.

A soft voice interrupted the scene of the adults,

"M—mom, it's not grandma who said it. I—it's me." the little girl when she saw her mother's eyes looking at hers, she averted her eyes. Looking down on her entwined fingers fiddling them and like an afraid little kid thinking of an excuse, she said in a trembling voice, "I—I no longer like big brother."

The old lady sigh once again massaging her own forehead with the tips of her fingers she's having a headache of the obvious lie of the kid. Yuri's parents are no dumb to not understand their daughter's lie.

Father Cooper then carefully said, "If that's our Yuri's thought..."

"Matias!" Yuri's mother glare at her husband.

"Hear me out first. We'll be out of the country and settle there for some years to lay low. After we came back and if our Yuri still wanted to break the engagement then we'll then officially break the en—"

"Matias!"

"What?"

"You're saying nonsense!"

"What nonsense? We just talked about this."

"We didn't discuss about this!"

"About going abroad, yes we just did."

"About breaking the engagement, no. About going abroad, this is not the right time to say that."

The old lady just look at the pair bantering at each other, sighing softly she look at the girl on her side pitying her more. Going abroad is every rich families last resort when a scandal broke so this decision of the Cooper couple are not too surprising. It's just that the young girl is the most affected in her parents affairs.

"Mom. Dad." a soft voice interrupted the husband and wife pair. "C—can we stay here for another month?"

The two's glaring competition broke. Father Cooper look at his wife arrogantly like all he said earlier are the best words to say. When he realize a thing, he then asked his daughter.

"A month? If our Yuri is thinking of her school, no worries we already talk to the Harris and you would still be considered as a graduate of Harriet Academy. But a month? Isn't there are two more months for the—" the dumb Father Cooper stop when he realize a thing. Still on his stoic face, he cough awkwardly not meeting his wife's deathly glare.

Grandma Matte getting a headache of this view of the couple. One month later is her grandson Evo Matte's birthday and never in Yuri's existence did she get absent from the celebration. She even remember the young girl got sick before because of her grandson pushing her in the pool but she didn't even get angry to her fiance and even attended his birthday and give him a thousand origami cranes folded by the young heiress herself. Every year, the young girl didn't stop to amaze the Matte family of her cute lovely full of effort gifts.

"My granddaughter Yuri, go upstair first and grandma have something to discuss with your parents. Grandma knows our Yuri is tired and sleepy. Come come let me give you a good night hug."

After giving a goodbye gestures to the three she left with small steps and her head down. The three adults can only look at the departing back of the child full of pity and guilt.

When Yuri at last arrived at her bedroom she dropped all her pretence and calmly look at the numbers in the air. When she transmigrated to this world, she firstly notice these numbers floating in the air which is only visible to her.

She notice the numbers started to fluctuate the moment she said her first statement to the grandmother-grandson pair. It did increase a lot while conversing with the old lady regarding the breaking of the engagement. Now conversing with Yuri's parents with the same topic, it did still increase but unlike the fluctuation in the Matte's mansion, it's too weak.

With this information, the soul inside Yuri end up to many conclusion and sticking to the most realistic one,

These numbers are those creatures fluctuation of emotions related to the main characters of the story. The bigger the role to the story, the more they can affect these numbers. Of who and what creatures, she can only name them- Psychotic Weird Aliens. For getting reborn for almost a thousand times, she was more open to possibilities and existence of higher species.

She stick to this conclusion with the hints she accumulated from the notification she received after her 999th death.

First, it says she just finished the first stage namely reborn. Second, using mental power to encode her username.

This means she was reborn for hell a 999 times to have this level of mental power and finally reach the second stage.

Third hint, the second stage is labeled as debut. Fourth hint, these stages end result if all passed is to become a qualified transmigrator.

It means she's being introduce right now to hell who they are or where those freaks are. From the world she came from, she can only compare this to the movie hunger games transported them to a different place to entertain those rich psychotics with weird fashions but this situation of her is much easier with much more complications of unknown back stories.

Those aliens want emotions.

Then she'll give them emotions.

The soul named Kira inside the body of little Yuri closed her eyes, her lips are curving, her mind is full of plays of how to bully and play the main characters under her hand.

That night, she packed her clothes ready for her tomorrow's escapade. She can't lose to the original Yuri's effort in giving a birthday gift to the male protagonist, is she?
