Treat Your Friends With Respect

After transmigrating into the pages of a novel, the physically frail yet undeniably spirited Laviette has no interest in playing the role of a heroic savior. Her sole objective is survival. Cursed with a storyline that guarantees her an early death, she devises a practical plan to defy her tragic fate by relying on her closest companion, Ahckard, and his extraordinary healing abilities. According to the original narrative, Ahckard is destined to fall in love with Laviette’s brother. Comforted by this predetermined plot point, she views him strictly as a platonic friend and a means to extend her own life. However, Ahckard seems entirely uninterested in following the script written for him. His actions begin to deviate from the story she knows so well, suggesting that his feelings and intentions may be far more complex than the novel ever described. As the familiar events of the story unravel around them, Laviette faces an unexpected dilemma. She must decide whether to search elsewhere for the happy ending she desperately seeks or finally recognize that everything she needs to survive—and perhaps something more—has been standing right beside her all along.
