Five years ago, introverted and awkward Ben avoided commitment and broke up with Nora, the woman he loved, on a rain-soaked graduation night. Five years later, he is a cynical star advertising copywriter. While leading the campaign for Re:Text, an app designed to reunite exes, he unexpectedly crosses paths with Nora, now an art director. One unguarded confession gives Ben the power to travel back in time: whenever he voices his truest feelings, his consciousness is thrown into his younger body, giving him another chance to rewrite their love story. Determined to win Nora back, Ben uses his adult dating experience to keep interfering with the past, only to find himself fighting his earnest, timid younger self for control of the same body. Each clever fix makes things worse, triggering mismatched dates, apparent split personalities, a disastrous proposal, and other absurd calamities. The butterfly effect keeps rewriting both their memories and their present. Meanwhile, present-day Ben and Nora are forced into a ""fake dating"" contract. As they complete one couple's challenge after another, old feelings return - and the misunderstanding and secret behind their breakup slowly come to light. Just as Nora is finally willing to meet the real Ben again, his declaration ""I love you"" triggers another temporal shockwave. In the new reality, the Re:Text project never existed, and Nora has vanished from everyone's memory. Faced with a timeline he destroyed with his own choices, Ben must find her, recover the past they shared, and finally understand that love is not choosing the ""right"" future for someone else. It is having the courage, even in the face of truth and regret, to choose together.

I was reborn on the very day my sister Tilda Wright and I were supposed to pick our husbands. And that was when I unlocked an incredible ability—I could hear everyone’s inner thoughts. I caught Tilda’s greedy voice in my head: This time, I’m definitely snatching the best husband for myself first! Before I could even react, she dashed over and stole the sweet man I’d married in my past life. Meanwhile, I was stuck with the abusive brute who’d beaten her black and blue every single day back then. I let out a cold, mocking laugh. Did she really think the man I once married was some flawless prince charming? How naive.

When I was three months pregnant, a pack of Rogues ambushed me. In the last moments before my consciousness began to fade, I begged for rescue through my mind-link to my Alpha mate, Adrian. But he never answered. I was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, only to be informed that the Saint-Tier Healer had been forcefully taken South by Adrian to treat Evelyn, his first love, after she lost her mate. When I woke to the pain of losing my pup, my fingers shook as I checked social media, then I saw Evelyn's post: [I knew that no matter how far away I am or how much time has passed, Adrian would always come for me. He even brought a Saint-Tier Healer to ease the pain in my heart.] In the photo, Adrian's dark eyes, which were usually cold and distant, were focused on the woman beside him with tenderness. While I was fighting for my life and losing our cub, my Alpha was protecting another pregnant wolf. I chuckled at myself bitterly. It felt as if the bond mark on my chest was withering away.

My husband—the mafia boss—loses his first love to suicide. Celeste Reyes couldn't accept that he was marrying me. Since then, Darius Sterling mourns her publicly every day, and we become the kind of couple that despises each other more than anyone else. However, when the Moretti family of Eastbourne sends assassins after me, Darius takes the bullet meant for me. The bullet is poisoned. As he lies weakly in my arms, he whispers, "I saved your life. My debt to your mother is repaid. In our next life, let's not meet again. "I don't want to hate you anymore. I just hope you'll always be the girl next door. Now, it's time for me to be with Celeste." And just like that, he dies in my arms. I cry my heart out, but Darius never looks at me again. Only then do I realize how foolish and childish our hatred has been all these years. Later, after I eliminate the Morettis, I take my own life for him. Yet, when I open my eyes again, I'm back at 20—the year of our engagement. I reject my father's plan for an arranged marriage and choose to go to New Verden to manage the family business. This time, I'll stay far away from Darius and give him and Celeste my blessings.
