Thea Shaw travels from the modern society to the Women's Respect Country, diligently working for thirty years to reach the position of Great National Master. She is forced to travel back again. Before traveling, she was the Miss Sutton who was mistakenly taken by another family, spending twenty years in the countryside, while a fake heiress replaced her in the elite Sutton Family. Her parents are indifferent to her, relatives awkwardly look down on her, and the fake heiress is superior in every way, treating her with politeness. Originally feeling indignant and extreme about her fate and ready to fight for everything, Thea's sharpness is blunted by thirty years of living in a female-dominant society. She thinks, just get by, what else can you do? So the Sutton Family is astonished to find that the daughter lost in the countryside for twenty years is not demanding her status or proving herself, but is instead waving the banner of feudalism. Great National Master—controls national destiny, primarily fortune-telling, with a side of persuasion. Later on, everyone is talking: "Have you had your fortune told by Thea Shaw? She's really accurate, but when you go see her, you must wear formal attire." —— Landon Ford, the heir to the Ford Family, the strongest in Aethelgard. He is known for being erratic in temperament, with a terrible temper, mostly dealing with others without a smile, infamous for being a lunatic. The first time he met her, she had an ethereal aura about her as if she could ascend at any moment, solemnly requesting him to button up his open collar, and sincerely advising: "Boys, reputation is the most important." Landon Ford slants his eyes, grabbing her hand and pressing it against his heart: "Now, I have no reputation, and you must take responsibility." Thea Shaw: … Young people these days lack virtue in their actions. (Silly and Zen-like Little Fairy X Crazy and Rebellious Heir)

This world has always been ordinary. Ancient myths and whispers through campfire tales, was never real. Only a reflection of longing, fear, and wonder passed down through generations. In truth, the world moved forward untouched by the supernatural, devoid of mystery. Belief, however, lingers. It settles quietly in forgotten corners of the mind, dormant in fiction and ritual, waiting for a spark. Stories may press against the edges of reality, but they are never capable of crossing it. For generations, the boundary has held firm—until now. As inexplicable events ripple across society—subtle at first, then undeniable—the world begins to bend. Old stories reemerge with new weight. Monsters once trapped in myth are glimpsed in alleyways. Symbols gain power. And every lie told with conviction becomes harder to distinguish from truth. The world is changing. And no one—not the skeptics, not the authorities, not even those who set it in motion—can stop it.
