Nothing ruins your day like getting hit by an ice cream truck.

For Amara Lyselle, a 24-year-old history professor tired of her routine, life comes to an abrupt end just when she decides to indulge in some luxury chocolate. But instead of a peaceful afterlife, Amara finds herself thrust into an alternate world that looks a lot like hers except she’s now one of the rivals vying for the affection of the world’s dashing hero.

As if being dead and reincarnated as a romantic antagonist wasn’t bad enough, she has to navigate a confusing new reality with the help of an annoying "system" that seems to have a personality of its own. The good news? She has a second chance at life. The bad news? She has no idea how to survive in this strange world, avoid falling into ridiculous romantic drama, or even get back to her old life if that’s even possible.

Life After Death by Ice Cream

Amara sat at her desk, staring at her computer screen but not really seeing anything. Her mind was still replaying the bizarre events with Nicholas from earlier. She sighed and leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temples. She wasn't sure what was more exhausting handling Nicholas's misguided affection or Elara's fiery jealousy from halfway across the world.

The morning sunlight streamed into her office, casting long shadows on the sleek, modern furniture. The hum of activity outside her door reminded her that the rest of Lyselle Media was carrying on as usual, blissfully unaware of the absurd soap opera playing out in her life.

"Maybe I should just retire," she muttered to herself.

[Retirement? At 24? Bold move. I assume you'll live off the wealth of your growing media empire, hmm?]

Amara blinked at the sudden reappearance of her system. "Oh, now you show up," she muttered. "Where were you when I was fending off Nicholas and Elara simultaneously?"
