An Ning opened her eyes and found herself transmigrated into a novel which she had just read. In the novel, the original An Ning nothing more than cannon fodder - a quiet girl whose silence was painted as arrogance.

Old wounds reopen, and long-buried truths threaten to unravel. Isidore must decide whether to keep his walls intact—or face the storm of a past that refuses to stay silent. In a city of gleaming towers and shadows, love and vengeance are tangled threads. And Isidore learns that sometimes the most dangerous battlefield is not the courtroom or the screen—but the heart itself.

Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com
