Tahun 2026. Di balik jalanan dan bangunan bersejarah Kota Picana, kedamaian hanyalah ilusi yang dipertontonkan kepada dunia. Mayoritas penduduknya merupakan warga keturunan dan berdarah campuran (mixed blood). Kelompok yang selama bertahun-tahun hidup di bawah bayang-bayang diskriminasi negara. Namun, di balik citra harmoninya, Picana menjadi pusat perlawanan terhadap pemerintahan yang selama bertahun-tahun melakukan diskriminasi dan penindasan terhadap warga keturunan. Di tengah penindasan itu, organisasi bawah tanah bernama Night Revenge mulai bangkit sebagai simbol perlawanan terhadap rezim yang mengatasnamakan stabilitas demi membenarkan kekerasannya. Di tengah konflik tersebut, Ian, seorang pemuda berdarah campuran, menyaksikan keluarganya hilang dalam operasi militer yang menelan ratusan korban sipil. Malam itu mengubah seluruh hidupnya. Bertekad mencegah tragedi serupa terulang, ia memilih bergabung dengan pasukan pertahanan negara. Ia percaya bahwa musuh terbesar bukanlah negara, melainkan orang-orang yang menyalahgunakan kekuasaan di dalamnya. Namun, semakin tinggi jabatannya, semakin jelas ia melihat bahwa kekerasan, manipulasi, dan kebohongan telah mengakar di tubuh pemerintahan yang ia bela. Ketika sebuah serangan drone besar melanda Picana, seluruh warga baik warga keturunan maupun aparat negara terpaksa mengesampingkan permusuhan demi menyelamatkan nyawa satu sama lain. Untuk sesaat, harapan akan perdamaian seolah menjadi kenyataan. Namun, setelah bencana merenggut ratusan korban jiwa, pemerintah memanfaatkan situasi tersebut untuk memperkuat propaganda bahwa konflik telah berakhir. Kedamaian yang diberitakan media hanyalah ilusi. Di balik layar, operasi penangkapan, penghilangan paksa, dan pembantaian terhadap warga keturunan terus berlangsung secara sistematis. Pemberontakan tidak pernah benar-benar padam, melainkan tumbuh dalam bayang-bayang ketakutan. Sembilan tahun kemudian, Ian telah menjadi perwira menengah yang dihormati. Di balik kariernya yang cemerlang, ia menemukan dokumen rahasia yang mengungkap bahwa perang selama bertahun-tahun bukanlah kegagalan pemerintah, melainkan konflik yang sengaja dipelihara demi mempertahankan kekuasaan.

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.
