When Nero wakes up in the body of a teenager named Navarro, he quickly realizes that the world he now inhabits is the setting of a horror romance novel he once read. In that story, Navarro was nothing more than a minor villain—the neglected son of a wealthy, conflict-ridden family—whose tragic demise served only to further the protagonist’s development.
But Nero has no intention of following the predetermined script. With his new identity, he is determined to escape Navarro’s doomed fate, even if it means avoiding conflict with the protagonist and the other main characters.
The problem is, Navarro’s life is far from easy. Ignored by a family that cares more for their other children, he has grown into a lonely and wounded figure. Now, Nero must navigate Navarro’s isolation and suffering while struggling to survive in a world seemingly designed to break him.
Armed with his intelligence and a personality unlike the original Navarro’s, Nero seeks to rewrite his fate—not as a villain, but as someone worthy of a happy ending. Yet, can he defy a story that seems intent on dragging him back into his old role?
Through this journey, Nero learns that being Navarro isn’t just about avoiding a tragic death—it’s about discovering what it truly means to live.
