Prologue

(PROLOGUE)

Lena Carter sat in her cozy apartment, surrounded by stacks of romance novels. She sighed as she flipped through the pages of "Eclipsed Love," a tale of forbidden romance between Lady Elise and Duke Harrison Ravenscroft. The story was familiar, and she knew it well. The melodrama, the heartache, and the eventual happiness of the characters. Little did Lena know, as she closed the book and prepared for bed, that her love for the story would lead her into its world.

When Lena woke, she found herself in a grand bedroom adorned with opulent decor. Confusion quickly turned to realization as she recognized the setting from the book. The realization struck her hard—she had transmigrated into the world of "Eclipsed Love." Now a secondary character, Lena had to navigate this new world with the knowledge of the story's outcome, especially since she was thrust into the role of antagonist, poised to make or break the love story she admired.
