When Fairy Tales Began to Run in Reverse

In the Kingdom of Liuguang, fairy tales’ perfect endings are the cornerstone of the realm’s order. Until the day magic reversed itself in full view of everyone: Cinderella Ella’s finery turned back into rags, and the love in the prince’s eyes was replaced by something strange. She was the only one who remembered everything.

When Snow White began to flee and the Frog Prince started croaking again, Ella realized that the so-called happy ending was a lie. She had to gather a team of “problem protagonists” and break into the Fate Bureau, where the origins of everything were recorded, to face the chilling truth behind a cycle that had lasted a thousand years: the happiness of every character was nothing more than fuel being collected.

Now she had two choices: repair the stories, so everyone could keep circling through sweet lies, or personally burn the Book of Origins and lead them toward a future with no script, full of dangers, yet truly their own.
