Lila is confident and just a little bit clumsy. Love? She's not interested until everything changes when her calm high school life turns into chaos — all thanks to two boys with very different hearts. One is Theo, her childhood best friend who’s been secretly in love with her for years. Quiet, loyal, and always there when she falls (which is often). The other? Kai — the new, cocky transfer student who teases her every chance he gets… and calls her “chaos girl.” Caught between jealousy, unexpected moments, and fluttering feelings, Lila has no clue that both boys are falling — fast. Too bad she’s too busy tripping over her own shoelaces to notice.

In a world still healing from a war that killed thirty-two gods, a new goddess is born. She does not arrive with thunder or proclamation. She arrives because one man spent twenty years praying into silence — and one evening the silence answered. Her name is Aelith, goddess of light. On the night of her first year, a blind elven infant is left on her altar. The child grows up within the quiet halls of the church: raised by a priest who becomes a father, and watched over by a goddess who slowly becomes something closer to a best friend. Her name is Lira. Blind since birth, she learns to navigate the world through warmth rather than sight, mapping people and places by the heat they leave behind. By the time she is seventeen she has become Aelith's oracle — not through ritual, but through a childhood of whispered conversations beside a stone altar. Then she leaves. Lira registers as an adventurer and walks out into a world that is far less gentle than the church she grew up in. Gods are rising again. Churches compete for power. And some of them are willing to spill blood to claim it. Behind her, Aelith waits. Not passively. A goddess who has only ever existed as warmth and light has been promised something. A body. A morning. A chance to walk the same world as the girl she has watched grow up. And when that day comes, she intends to find Lira. ------------------------------------------------ [Disclaimer:] [Protagonist is not overpowered] [Action does not happen immediatly in the story, it has a slow start] [The romance may take some chapters to appear but I promise that when it happens it will be good]

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?
