After completing an ordeal known as the Crucible, a mage is given a Prestige License which allows them endless freedoms and opportunity with the expectation they protect life on Lokyer.With the four-hundred-year war against the signum nearing its end, problems ignored during this time have arisen.

It's hard to trust, when all you've known is pain. Not just any pain but that pain that cripples you and renders you immobile. The one you just can't for the life of you explain why it is happening. When you're hurt... that wound will heal. Now what can you do, when its constantly reopened? When it comes from who is supposed to protect you? How can a wound so deep heal? Learn to fight, if you want to survive... I heard once... Learn to hold your tongue, if you want to live... I heard second... Hate can be a relief but it can also rot your soul... I heard third... Learning to forgive is for the intelligent... So, why is it so tricky to accomplish? I learned the hard way to fight and to look out for myself. Now that will never crumble, I'll make sure of that!

What if you are suddenly transported in a different universe? Will you stay there or will you leave? What will you choose? The one that is right but will hurt you? Or the one that is wrong but feels so awfully right? What if you found love... but in a wrong universe?

To survive, he must face a world where great power is never granted without sacrifice. Can Kael endure the trials ahead and uncover the truth behind his parents’ disappearance?

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.
