Heartbeat Protocol

A sharp-witted outsider stumbles into a glittering metropolis that’s not what it seems—beneath its polished surface lies a high-stakes simulation where every move is scripted and deviation means deletion. Forced to play a villain’s role, she defies fate with chaotic charm, disrupting cold algorithms with warmth, wit, and unexpected heart. As she climbs from corporate outcast to industry disruptor, she uncovers a haunting truth: the world is a prison built to control a doomed genius. Now, she must master the rules of power—capital, influence, and connection—to rewrite destiny itself. Blending razor-sharp business drama with sci-fi mystery and tender emotional stakes, this genre-bending romance turns the tropes of urban fiction inside out.
