Manhattan's top people-pleaser, the timid junior PR assistant Chloe, was hit by a cyclist influencer who was livestreaming while riding. Horrifyingly, her soul popped out of her body—but her body not only didn't die, it activated a hidden "utterly selfish, brutally honest, rejection-of-self-doubt" Autopilot Mode, renaming itself "Roxy." Soulless Roxy wore the hottest short skirts and dominated the workplace, using razor-sharp clarity to destroy her toxic boss's workplace manipulation, then went viral on TikTok overnight as "the cold-faced rebel who won't bow to capitalism." Chloe, now a transparent ghost, could only float helplessly yet gleefully above, like a wild sports commentator breaking the fourth wall and roasting herself for the short drama audience. When Chloe discovered that Roxy, completely devoid of emotion or anxiety, was rapidly "system-formatting" her soul, her only counterattack was to hack Roxy's TikTok editing algorithm and post on Reddit to force emotional glitches. In this "digital body-snatching war with myself," even Julian—the old-money elite male lead suffering from severe mental overthinking—was drawn to Roxy's dangerous, morality-free charm, triggering a madness that swept across America's digital world.
