What if the only person who couldn’t remember magic... was the one who wrote it all? In a world where magic is not learned, but remembered from your past life, children undergo the Rite of Remembrance at age 12 to awaken the spells and power they once wielded. The more powerful your past life, the higher your place in the academy — and society. But Ash Veil remembers nothing. No visions. No echoes. No name fragments. He is declared Empty — a failed reincarnation, a disgrace, and is sent to Crownshade Academy only as a joke. The lowest-ranked student in a system that worships inherited memory. Except… Ash isn’t a failure. He’s something worse — or better. > He has no past life because he was never reborn. He is the Original. The forgotten creator of the Codex of All Magic. A soul so powerful the Twelve Archmages shattered and sealed it across time to stop him. Now, as magic collapses under its own repetition, and the “remembered” spells become corrupted, Ash begins creating spells no one has ever seen. Silent spells. Spells without words. Spells that erase other spells. And the world calls it forbidden. Hunted by the memory-bound elite and shadowed by broken ghosts of his past fragments, Ash must master the Empty Spell — a spell that could rewrite the laws of existence. But to do so, he must first survive an academy built to erase him.

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.
