Silence fell. The entire ballroom went still. All eyes turned to them, wide with shock. Public proposals weren’t uncommon, but the reaction they’d garnered tonight was anything but ordinary. And it wasn’t simply because a woman had proposed to a man. Edward knew the exact reason. It was because the flower of high society had just proposed to the most undesirable bachelor in the empire. Ever since the current emperor had taken the throne, any noble lady in her right mind had avoided even the…-

About ten years ago, just before the college entrance exams. I was exhausted from spending hours either locked in a staring contest with my math homework or wrestling with my thoughts. So I decided to turn to romance fantasy novels. And I was immediately hooked. ‘How did I not know something this amazing existed?!’ Honestly, anything would’ve fascinated me back then. I wanted to forget the harsh reality of being 100 days away from the college entrance exams, so I obsessed over romantic stories…-

‘I’m not allowed to leave until I become an archmage? Who came up with that nonsense?!’ Ordinary apprentices needed at least a decade of training to become an archmage. Luckily, Cecilia had reached that level in just five. But aside from finally being allowed to leave, nothing had really changed. And that wasn’t the end of it. Even as an archmage, she was entirely cut off from the outside world while living in the Guardian Tower. Which meant that right now, Cecilia had no idea what's…

Some say this: While Cecilia’s brilliance and achievements are undeniable, there was no denying her that her striking appearance played a major role in doubling the number of her followers. A face both elegant and proud. Flawless, porcelain-smooth skin. Eyes so clear and blue they rivaled even the finest aquamarines… And that radiant silver hair, a mark of her powerful magical presence as an archmage. She was beautiful, without a single flaw. “Lady Cecil…” One apprentice finally mustered…

A small smile crossed Cecilia’s face. “You’re better at this act than I expected.” “I could say the same to you.” “I have to be...” Cecilia murmured the words softly. It sounded less like she was answering him and more like she was reminding herself. For a split second, a bitter smile flickered across her face before she suddenly twisted her right ankle and visibly stumbled. “Lady Cecilia!” Edward moved instinctively, catching her fall, only to realize that this too had been part…

My jaw dropped. The world beyond the large window looked like something straight out of the apocalypse. Everything within sight was charred black. On a burnt hill stood the crumbling remains of what used to be a house. Now it was just a pile of rubble and ash, burnt beyond recognition. If someone was trapped inside while it happened… “N-no. This can’t be.” I shook my head, staggering back. As hard as it was to believe, this wasn’t just a world on the verge of collapse. It was already…

How could someone be this ridiculously good looking? His skin was as pale as the moonlight. His thick, arched brows were sharp, and his nose was high and elegant. His lips were full and a striking shade of red, almost like he was wearing lipstick, and to top it off, a distinct beauty mark sat just beside his mouth, adding to his charm. This was bad. He wasn’t just handsome. He was downright dangerous. “Hey! Open your eyes!” Now my curiosity was eating at me to find out who he was. There was no…

Arc 1. A Possession Gone Wrong “The world is in ruins!” Rain poured down like madness beyond the cracked windowpane. The dark interior of the parlor was eerily silent. Only the occasional crackle from the fireplace and the low rumble of thunder broke the heavy silence. Scratch, scratch. As everyone stared at the archbishop with fear on their faces, a massive, scarred hand the size of a pot lid continued working incessantly. “And?” The man asked without lifting his head, his face hidden by the…

“Has the day finally come for me too…?” The moment I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling, I was so excited that I covered my mouth and kicked my legs with glee. For a decade, I’ve been a hardcore romance fantasy reader. At last, my time has come. I climbed down from a bed so massive it looked like two king-sized beds pushed together, and stood in front of a mirror. The second I saw my face, I clenched my fists and cheered. “Oh my gosh, I’m so pretty!” Long, fluffy waves of baby pink…

“Duke Ceres, marry me.” Just as the day was winding down peacefully, a surprise visitor appeared out of nowhere and threw out a sentence so shocking, it brought Edward Ceres’s thoughts to a screeching halt. His gaze fixated on the woman in front of him. Cecilia Graham. There probably wasn’t a single soul in the empire’s social circles who didn’t recognize that face. A charming beauty with honey-blonde hair that shimmered like sunlight and piercing blue eyes that looked like they’d been…
