Benin City, 1895. Adesuwa Eghosa reads cowries in the market square, inheriting both her mother's gift and her mother's disgrace. Iyeman Eghosa was cast out of the palace's inner court fifteen years ago for reasons no one would ever explain. When master bronze-caster Idehen is found dead among his molds with the Ivie-Oba, the Oba's sacred coral regalia, shattered beside him, the palace has one moon to solve it: the anniversary rites are coming, and a British trade delegation is already asking pointed questions about what treasures Benin still holds. Captain Osaretin Ediae, the Iyase's son, gets six days of nothing. At the chief priest's insistence and over Osaretin's open scepticism. Adesuwa is brought into the workshop, where she reads what his evidence can't: no fear in the room, only argument. Idehen knew his killer, and the killer left through a door only an insider would use. Their investigation uncovers not a robbery but a year-long haemorrhage: fourteen treasury "restoration orders" in eleven months, all bearing the seal of Chief Iyoha, the Keeper of the Treasury, and the uncle who raised Osaretin after his mother's death. Idehen had been quietly weighing pieces, suspecting substitutions, and was due to bring it to the Oba directly the morning after he died. At the far end of the chain sits Aldous Kerr, a British trade agent buying palace antiquities through a river trader. As Adesuwa and Osaretin fall for each other across an unbridgeable rank divide, the palace closes ranks: a fifteen-year-old apprentice is framed, Adesuwa is dragged before a hostile priestly council, and a coral bead is left on her mother's divining cloth as a warning. Osaretin stakes his standing before the full court to defend her, and they finish the case as outsiders working the alleys instead of the offices intercepting Iyoha's next shipment on the river with his own ledger inside. Iyoha doesn't deny it. He argues he was selling what the British would seize anyway, building a fund to outlast an invasion he sees coming and admits he never intended to kill Idehen, only to reason with him. He's exiled, stripped of title. The coral is repaired with bronze beads where real coral couldn't be recovered, and the rites proceed unblemished before the delegation. Eleven pieces are already gone forever, bound for glass cases abroad. Adesuwa accepts a court appointment as consultant to the priesthood on condition she keeps her market stall and she and Osaretin end the book together, with a foreign ship still at anchor in the harbour.

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.

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?"
