Aurora died at ninety-six with a pen in her hand and zero regrets — except for the TV show she never finished. She woke up inside a melodrama as the Sterling family's long-lost biological daughter, cast as the villainess everyone despises. The adopted daughter Chelsea cries on cue, the fiancé takes Chelsea's side, and the whole family tells Aurora to be the bigger person. In the script, this is where she snaps, loses everything, and dies in the street. Too bad Aurora already built and buried a corporate empire in her last life, and she doesn't break for tears. She records every scheme, exposes every lie at her own homecoming banquet, dumps the fiancé onstage, and turns the family's failing business into a twenty-billion-dollar energy company. They wrote her as the villain. She wrote herself the ending.
