When the world begins to crack in places no one else can see, Aira is the only one who notices the whispers calling her name. Then she meets Rimuru — a mysterious girl with white hair, blue eyes that shimmer like another sky, and a smile that hides more than it reveals. Rimuru isn’t fully real. Each time she uses her power to fight the “Echoes” leaking through the Veil between worlds, her body flickers — as if reality itself is rejecting her. But near Aira, something changes. She becomes stable. Solid. Alive. As the Veil weakens and ancient shadows stir, the truth begins to surface: Aira is more than human, and Rimuru is more than lost. Together, they might be the only ones who can stop the world from unraveling — if their connection doesn’t rewrite it first. A story of light and memory, of laughter born in chaos, and of love powerful enough to defy the laws of existence.

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.
