Maple lived a quiet, repetitive life—work, sleep, repeat—until one day, it all just… ended.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself inside her favorite novel.
But not as the heroine.
Not even as the villain.
She woke up as the male lead’s mother—a side character who was only meant to die and leave her son broken.
She knows exactly how the story goes. She knows how she dies.
So she decides early on—she won’t stay long enough for that to happen.
She’ll leave. Disappear. Change her fate.
But there’s a problem.
Her son, Lucien, isn’t just a character anymore.
He’s warm. Clingy. A little stubborn.
And… painfully cute.
The more time she spends with him—helping him, holding him, watching him grow—the harder it becomes to walk away.
Because leaving might save his future…
But it also means abandoning him.
And staying?
Staying means becoming the very tragedy that will shape him into someone cold and broken.
Now Maple is stuck between two choices—
Run away and live
Or stay, love him as his mother… and face the ending she already knows.
