Rosalia Aragona remembers the taste of salt and the weight of a room going quiet. She doesn’t remember the man. One night is enough to leave her pregnant—and blank where the truth should be. In a small town that values reputation over breath, her family rushes to marry her off to an old man who can swallow scandal like wine. On her wedding day, the church doors open to a stranger’s calm. Giuseppe Falcone crosses the aisle, puts a bullet through her would-be husband, and steals Rosalia away to a private island where the Falcone dynasty lives like royalty behind locked gates. Giuseppe doesn’t ask if the child is his. He claims it. He claims her. And in the Falcone court, claims are law. But Rosalia is not built to break prettily. With every rule she learns, she bargains for another inch of autonomy. With every secret she uncovers, she turns survival into leverage. Because someone engineered her disgrace. Someone took her memory. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes—until law, rivals, and bloodline politics converge on the one thing no one can afford to lose. In a world where love is a liability and safety is never free, Rosalia and Giuseppe must decide what kind of family they will be—publicly, permanently—while knowing some consequences will follow them forever.

Synopsis **Lina Marchesi doesn’t remember the night her fiancé died. She only knows he drowned near their private beach house on the Amalfi Coast—and that she was found barefoot, bloodied, and unresponsive in a boat nearby. There were no signs of foul play, and Lina, an American expat novelist, hasn't been able to write since. A year later, under the weight of trauma, gaps in her memory, and public suspicion, she returns to the same village—not to heal, but to hide. But the quiet isn’t quiet for long. Whispers trail her in the market, her old neighbors keep their distance, and someone keeps leaving pages from her *unfinished manuscript* on her doorstep—pages she doesn't remember writing. Enter **Milo Caruso**, a former war photographer turned reclusive innkeeper with his own ghosts. He’s disfigured from an explosion, hiding out in the crumbling hills above the sea. Their paths cross when Lina takes up residence at his isolated property, and tension builds—first in silence, then in sharp, probing conversations over wine and cigarettes. Their connection is messy, magnetic, and deeply flawed. Milo is blunt and emotionally unavailable; Lina is unraveling but seductive, using charm as armor. They orbit each other—drawn, repelled, resisting. But both know what it’s like to live with something unspeakable. As Lina pieces together her fractured memory, it becomes clear that her fiancé’s death wasn’t as accidental as the police claimed. And someone in the village wants the truth buried. And as she and Milo fall into a love that’s as brutal as it is tender, Lina begins to ask herself the scariest question of all: **What if she killed him?**

To clear her mother's name, Mara will have to learn the Concord's oldest secret: struck islands don't vanish. They go somewhere. And the people in charge of truth will erase anyone who asks where.

She died with one text message left unanswered. She woke up with nothing owed and nothing owing, in a world where that makes her either invisible or the most dangerous thing anyone has ever seen. In the world behind the door, nothing is free. Every favor, every promise, every debt of blood or love hangs visible over a person's head, woven into threads that priests can read and weavers can steal. Your worth is written on you whether you like it or not. Mireille Auvray spent eleven years as an ER nurse learning exactly how little a person's death has to do with fairness. She thought she understood the weight of an ending. Then she died in a hospital hallway at 4 AM and woke up somewhere else, in a body with no page, no thread, no weight at all. To the system that runs this entire world, she does not exist. That should make her nothing. Instead, in a world built on obligation, a woman who owes nothing and is owed nothing might be the one thing capable of breaking the whole ledger open. The temple wants to study her. The capital's weavers want to own her. And something older than either of them has already noticed the empty page walking around in a stolen dress. She has no power. No magic. No debts to leverage and no favors to call in. She has exactly one advantage nobody in this world has ever had to plan for. She has nothing left to lose, and for the first time, that's not a tragedy. That's a weapon.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
