Once upon a time, Cinder and Abigail made a vow to each other to find a happy ending, no matter the cost. For Abigail, this meant the kind of life out of a children's tale. For Cinder, this meant clinging onto the life she has.Except, on the dawn of a new year of high school, Cinder finds Abigail bruised and beaten. Attempting to figure out what happened that day, Cinder finds herself catching the attention of the Headmaster of Aster Academy.

A man who claims he was gifted this world, his one goal is create a place of fairytales. With Abigail as his original choice for a main character, he makes a deal with Cinder. Abigail may get her happy ending without any suffering, but only if Cinder agrees to test his stories. The structure is simple; a villain to harm, a guardian to guide her, the prince of her dreams, and the school as the stage. All her choices will remain her own, except if she doesn't reach a happy ending, she'll be forced to start from the beginning, in the confines of a new story. With Abigail's happiness as the prize, Cinder goes through the Headmaster's tales, trying to discover how to tell his perfect story.

And the fairytale he wants to tell, may be very different from Cinder's own.
