“You should count yourself lucky we’re even letting you marry Mr. Urban. That’s the best break you’ll ever get. Refuse, and you might as well rot here and die!”
The venom–dripping voice echoed in the darkness, snapping Alisa out of her daze.
Moments later, the speaker’s footsteps faded, leaving only the suffocating silence of the basement.
The darkness was absolute–Alisa Roffe couldn’t even see her own hands–and there she lay, feeling crushed like a worm, only dawning on the truth after a brief, stunned pause.
Damn it!
I’d transmigrate into a book.
Her whole body throbbed with pain, but she knew help would come soon.
Who would believe this? One late–night binge–read, and she wakes up in the body of a side character with her exact same
name.
The novel was called “Unmasking the CEO’s Hidden Wife“-a high–society drama where the heroine’s rise to power came at the expense of everyone else.
The “Alisa” in the book? A tragic figure.
Born as the only daughter of the heiress of the Roffes, she should have grown up in luxury. But her mother, blinded by romance, ran away from home to marry a social climber.
Three years later, after giving birth to Alisa, Belinda Roffe was diagnosed with late–stage cervical cancer and died soon after.
Within the same year, Alisa’s father remarried–fast.
The new wife despised Alisa, viewed her as a thorn in her side, and eventually “lost” her.
At age three, she was sold to the Nelsons as a child bride for their mentally disabled son.
It was a shameful arrangement no one spoke of. The Nelsons kept her hidden away, gave her a new name called “Coco,” and made her live like a maid for the next 15 years.
On her 18th birthday, the Nelsons decided she would marry Urban Nelson and continue the family line.
Alisa fought with everything she had. In response, they beat her mercilessly and locked her in the basement without food or water until she agreed.
In the original plot, she was on the brink of giving in–half–dead–when the Roffes suddenly appeared like avenging angels and took her away.
Once they learned what had been done to her, the Roffes unleashed hell on the Nelsons, dragging everyone into the feud- including the story’s all–powerful female lead, Sabrina Nelson,
The Nelsons teetered on bankruptcy, and Sabrina was nearly sold off to a nightclub to pay their debts.
But Sabrina wasn’t just any woman.
She was the star of the show–the brilliant, untouchable heroine.
Born under a powerful fate, she’d been trained for ten years by a mysterious mountain seer, only to vanish for eight more after an accident.

Everyone thought she was dead–until she returned just as the Nelsons were collapsing.

From there, she revealed one hidden identity after another, crushing rivals, humbling enemies, and earning a reputation in Qodon as someone no one dared to cross.
She was the dream of every wealthy heir in the city. Any character who disliked her was branded vicious and met a miserable end.
Alisa? She had been one of the worst casualties–driven to leap from a building, her body shattered beyond recognition. One by one, her close relatives were ruined, until her family was completely wiped out.
After returning to the Nelsons, Sabrina humiliated the supporting character, kicked scumbags, toppled the infamous Roffes and led her family to new heights–ending up with both career and love in hand, crowned the ultimate winner.
Alisa had read the entire book in one night.
She figured it was probably because she shared the same name as the side character. When she finished reading, she didn’t feel even a shred of satisfaction.
Instead, frustration knotted in her chest, so tight she couldn’t sleep all night.
Why did that Alisa in the story have to be tortured by the Nelsons‘ foolish son in the first half of the story, only to be crushed by Sabrina in the second?
She hadn’t even done anything wrong!
Without question, she was the most miserable character in the whole novel.
The whole story existed for one reason—to glorify the heroine. No matter what the side character did, she was wrong.
“If I were her, I’d never let it end like that.”
That offhand complaint was all it took for fate to shove her right into the novel–into Alisa’s bruised and battered body.
When she first came to her mind nearly cracked under the shock.
But once she got her bearings, a fierce, stubborn spark lit inside her. She dragged her frail body toward the door, gritting her teeth. “Damn! It hurts like hell, but once I’m out, none of the Nelsons are walking away unscathed. Even the dog’s getting a
kick.”
The basement was so dark she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face.
Just as she was about to collapse for good, hurried footsteps rang out from beyond the door, followed by raised voices.
“Hey! You can’t go in there! That’s private property!”
“Break that door down!!
The crisp, cutting voice of a woman rang out, and two bodyguards kicked the basement door wide open.
Bam! With a deafening bang, blinding light flooded in. For Alisa, it was like a beam straight from heaven.
She forced her eyes toward the doorway, catching sight of the woman just as she called out-
“Alisa!”
Cordelia Roffe rushed to her side, dropped to her knees, and pulled the bruised, bloodied girl into her arms.
Alisa was on the verge of collapse–starving, parched, and covered in whip marks and bruises.
The sight of her fragile state made Cordelia’s anger ignite like a storm.
The Nelsons‘ butler barged in with half a dozen maids, pointing an accusing finger at Cordelia. “This is outrageous! How dare

you break into the basement? Put her down! Where are you taking her?”
Cordelia flicked a glance at her bodyguards, signaling them to take Alisa
Then she straightened, swung her arm, and slapped the butler across the face.
Smack!
“And just who do you think you are? Get out of my sight.”
The butler froze, stunned.
That slap–first–ask–later woman! Could this be … that infamous woman from the Roffes?

One of the maids, clearly offended, stepped forward. “You’ve gone too far! Who are you to barge into our house and-”
Before she could finish, Cordelia gave her a slap too.
Smack!
“Who let this tramp out? You can leave too.”
Another maid couldn’t bear this; she jabbed a finger at her. “You can’t just hit people-”
Smack!
“You can fuck off with them.”
Cradled in the solid grip of the bodyguard, Alisa managed to open her eyes and glance at Cordelia.

Yes–this was exactly like in the book. Alisa’s eldest cousin, who never hesitated to slap anyone who dared point a finger at her.
Cordelia didn’t stop until every last one of them had gone pale with fear, too intimidated to speak.
At the doorway, Cordelia cast one last icy glare.
“The Nelsons, is it? From this day forward, we’re enemies.”
Alisa was taken back to the Roffe estate.
The doctor’s examination was grim–severe anemia, multiple lash marks across her body, and clear signs she hadn’t eaten in at least four days.
The Roffes were furious.
But no one more so than Vania Roffe, Alisa’s grandmother. She stayed by Alisa’s bedside the entire night, never letting go of
her hand.
Her silver hair shimmered in the lamplight, her eyes faintly red as she spoke to her daughter, Rhea Roffe, who sat beside her.
“She’s the spitting image of your oldest sister when she was young. Poor girl! Every time I think about that awful man who tricked her into running away, I get so mad I could grind my teeth to dust.”
Rhea nodded, her gaze softening on the fragile figure in the bed. “Yes, after Belinda disappeared, she vanished without a trace
we never even saw her one last time. We searched for her daughter everywhere. Who would have thought she’d been right under our noses all this time? Thank God she’s finally coming home.”
Vania had four children in all.
The eldest, Belinda, was the pride of the family.

Belinda had been the one Vania placed all her hopes on–only to watch her throw it away for love.
When she fled from her arranged marriage, her family searched for her relentlessly.
But Belinda, convinced the
only wanted to drag her back, stayed hidden. She was already pregnant by then and refused to be separated from the man she loved. She never contacted her family again.
The next time the Roffes heard her name was a year after her death. It had taken a massive effort–combing through global hospital databases–just to track her
By then, she was nothing but a grav
a grave. They hadn’t even seen her one last time.
And Alisa? She had already been sold off by her stepmother.
When Vania learned the truth, she was so furious she nearly lost her mind. She made sure that despicable pair paid dearly- especially the wretched man who had stolen her daughter and then sold her granddaughter. Some things could never be forgiven.
Their downfall was absolute and deserved.
But even their ruin hadn’t cooled the fire in her chest.
From that day on, they began searching for Alisa for 15 long years.
