Why?
The image of the green vines wrapping around her limbs instantly flashed through Vivienne's mind.
Because everything happening right now was a brand-new plotline generated by the Narrative Realm to suppress her resistance.
Whether it was the original *A Saga of Power and Passion* or the spin-off realm she currently inhabited, the trajectory was no longer set in stone.
Initially, she had only acted on a desperate gamble. But the moment the Gate of Narrative summoned her into the void, she knew she had guessed right.
For three years, Vivienne had fought tooth and nail to alter the storyline. But no matter how hard she tried, the pivotal events inevitably played out. The only difference was that the tragedies meant for her were simply outsourced to other characters.
At first, she thought she was actually making progress. But as the 'fake heiress' trope began to unfold, she realized she had made a fatal logical error.
In *A Saga of Power and Passion*, she was written as the vicious antagonist. It was only natural that she was meant to be a stepping stone for the protagonists.
But the current narrative had shifted to *I Just Wanted to Wreak Havoc, How Did I Become the Perfect First Love?* She had transitioned from a disposable villain to the untouchable first love.
In this new script, every other girl was a supporting character—not just Bianca, Aurelia, or Mina, but even the original female lead.
Which meant, according to the current plot armor, the brutal main storyline of *A Saga of Power and Passion* would still execute flawlessly. The only person granted immunity was her.
Therefore, her grandfather was still destined to die. And so was Talia.
But she had been given a second chance at life. She didn't care if she was the shiny new protagonist of a fabricated universe. From the very beginning, she only cared about saving that one person.
And as her emotional ties deepened, saving one person had evolved into saving an entire group of people.
Yet, she still had no idea how many Moles were hiding within the Ravenshire family. She had zero clues about the anti-Ravenshire alliance outside of the Whitmore and Montclair families.
Who was going to orchestrate Talia's death? How would they do it? She was completely in the dark.
Especially after what happened to Mina, Vivienne's sense of impending doom had skyrocketed.
It wasn't until she used the excuse of fetching her bag from The Black Room and discovered the hidden camera that the blueprint for an entirely new narrative spontaneously formed in her mind.
Her new plotline had to be explosive! It had to be visceral! It had to possess a profound, sweeping impact! She needed every single participant in this world to bear witness to it.
In this version of the story, she didn't need to be the hero, and she didn't care about being misunderstood. As long as the blast radius was large enough to obliterate the original plot point, it would work!
She had to try. Throwing herself directly into the fire was her only chance to outplay fate.
The Narrative Realm rejected any external interference aside from the Gate of Narrative. That meant this was her solo revolution.
She couldn't breathe a word of this to anyone.
Vivienne offered a small, reassuring smile to lighten the mood. "I know this makes it hard for Dorian and the others..."
"They don't matter," Talia cut in, her face deadly serious. She looked Vivienne straight in the eye. "You matter."
