In a world where Espers are either weapons on the battlefield or sacrifices to hold back the Demon King, Valencia survives as a “useless” F-rank Guide in the slums—hiding the truth that she is no Guide at all, but a Void Esper. She was never meant to guide anyone. But when Kael, the Duke’s son and the kingdom’s revered S-rank Light Esper, begins to unravel after years without a Guide, he is inexplicably drawn to her. To him, she is the answer he’s been searching for. To Valencia, he is a risk she cannot afford. Because if anyone discovers what she truly is, she won’t be protected—she’ll be erased. Forced into the palace and bound to a role she was never meant to play, Valencia must navigate a fragile connection that defies everything the world believes about Espers and Guides. And the closer she gets to Kael, the more dangerous that truth becomes.

Seo Yikyung was once the most celebrated abstract artist in Seoul. Now he is just a man who hasn’t painted anything worth keeping in four months, staring at blank canvases in a city that expects too much from him. On an impulse he can’t fully explain, he trades Seoul for Naeun-ri — a small, unhurried coastal village where nobody knows his name and the sea moves like it has nowhere else to be. He isn’t expecting to find anything there. Then he sees Riwoo. Jeon Riwoo — known to every soul in Naeun-ri as Daun, (the beautiful one) carries his quiet grief and his open heart through the village like it costs him nothing. He doesn’t know what to make of the silent city man who keeps returning to his grandmother’s stall. Slowly he started becoming the shape of everything Yikyung had lost. What begins as inspiration becomes something neither of them has a name for yet. But names have a way of finding you.

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.

While he keeps his distance, she keeps herself busy, saving lives with medical knowledge centuries ahead of its time, collecting debts from those who wronged the original body's owner, and planning her exit strategy. Later, he became the New Emperor— "Qing Qing, from now on, you are my Empress." "Not interested."
