Transmigrated Into a Cannon Fodder Phoenix, Stuck With the Ice Dragon

Seraphina Vale, a struggling writer accustomed to unfulfilled dreams and solitude, finds her reality shattered when a mysterious glass bottle containing phoenix tears transports her to a fantastical world. In this new realm, mythical creatures dominate the corporate landscape, but Seraphina is relegated to the role of a defective phoenix side character, destined to be cannon fodder. Her only path home, according to a cryptic System, is death. However, phoenixes possess a regenerative cycle, trapping her in an endless loop of rebirth. Adding to her predicament is Lucian Drake, the cold and seemingly perfect Ice Dragon CEO, her boss. The original narrative dictated his affection was a calculated ploy to ensnare the true heroine. Despite the System's warnings and the knowledge of his intended betrayal, Seraphina finds herself drawn to Lucian's genuine moments. She dares to believe their story might deviate from its script, allowing her to forge her own path. Yet, the truth of her role as a mere substitute and pawn in his scheme is revealed, causing profound pain. When their fabricated reality collapses, Lucian is left to pursue the phoenix he inadvertently destroyed. To escape, Seraphina must navigate corporate intrigue, recurring deaths, and a love that was never hers, facing the possibility that even a cold-hearted dragon's late realization of love might come too late for her to stay.
