Thea Lynch was seventeen when she injured her ear and temporarily lost her speech. Her parents passed away in a car accident, leaving her and her brother to rely on each other. Later, her brother was transferred for work and left, and she was taken to live at her grandmother's house in Westmere. During this period, her brother entrusted friends to check on her, and the one who visited most frequently was the "Third Brother"—Ian Preston, who was five years older than her. Coronet is over a hundred kilometers away from Westmere, yet he insisted on accompanying her to see doctors, patiently teaching her how to speak, and even appearing at her school gate every evening. He saved all of his gentle caring for her, but everything stopped abruptly before she could muster the courage to confess. Her secret crush was unsuccessful, and a sudden change at home caused her to leave, cutting off all contact with him. When they met again, it was seven years later when she returned home for a matchmaking date and was cornered by him in the restaurant corridor, "That guy downstairs, is he your date? How come after spending several years abroad, your taste has gotten so much worse? With better options around, how can you choose him?" "Who is the better option?" she instinctively asked. Ian Preston: "Me." [Childhood sweethearts, getting back together, mutual unrequited love]

Ye Qianning becomes a six-year-old little dumpling. Not only does she possess dual-system special abilities, she also has four fathers. “Daddy!” The little dumpling cries tearfully, leaving the four prominent, dashing figures of the imperial capital utterly flustered. The Scholar-Official Daddy: “Little girl, you can't just claim anyone as your father. Hurry up and go back where you came from.” The Foxy Daddy: “If I had a daughter, she would surely be the greatest beauty in the world. How could she be as chubby as a ball!” The Businessman Daddy: “The Gu family hasn't produced a daughter for three generations. How could she possibly be a child of my Gu family?” The General Daddy, however, is excited: “Hahaha, I was fated to have no children, and heaven suddenly gave me a little meat bun. Come on, daughter, let's go home with Daddy!” A little girl suddenly appears in the General's residence, causing several influential figures of the capital to lurk by the wall every day. Eventually, they just stop leaving, all declaring that they will only leave when their own daughter comes home with them. The General Daddy roars angrily: “Why didn't you acknowledge her back then? Now, if anyone dares to snatch my daughter from me, I'll fight them to the death.” Beside them, a prim and proper little boy mutters under his breath with his hands behind his back: “When she grows up, she is going to marry me and be my wife.” Hearing this, the four prominent fathers' eyes blaze with fire, looking extremely dangerous. The little dumpling watches the drama that unfolds daily and facepalms in resignation: “She just wants to cultivate her spatial dimension to live a long life... Matters of love and romance, stay away.”

Sirene from the Water Forest and Zoey from the Illusion Forest join their group, offering knowledge and aid. Along the way, Lana and Zai’s relationship slowly deepens as they face inner conflicts and external threats, yet suspicion toward the Swan lingers.

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

Elara and Jonas met in their early youth from school to sharing ice cream in a small café, their eyes still filled with the colors of first love. When he pulled his chair closer and whispered, "Will you be my girlfriend?" she nodded shyly, and his first kiss felt like a promise. It was everything she ever dreamed of. Seven years later, that dream has shattered. Elara Stoddard is a successful architect at Phoenix Architects, known for her precision and control. But behind closed doors—and inside her own head—she is unraveling. Plates smash against walls. Tears come without warning. Her husband, Jonas, has become a stranger who shares her home, her daughter, and her history, but none of her present. The divorce, when it comes, isn't loud. It's quiet. Exhausted. Two people who once promised forever now too tired to fight for it. They part with a single, fragile bridge between them: their daughter, Lucy. For years, they navigate the careful choreography of co-parenting—school pickups, birthday parties, phone calls where Lucy reports, "Daddy says he misses me." Elara buries herself in work. Jonas, she hears, buries himself in his writing. They become parallel lines, close enough to see each other but never touching. Until a crisis forces them back under one roof. In the relentless proximity of shared parenthood, the carefully buried past begins to surface. Not the fights. Not the blame. But the small things: the way he still makes coffee the way she likes it. The way she still laughs at his worst jokes. The way Lucy looks at them both and asks questions no child should have to ask. "Do you miss him too, Mommy?" Elara doesn't have an answer. Not one she can say out loud. Because somewhere beneath the pain, beneath the years of silence and separation, something else is stirring. Not the reckless rush of first love—they're too old, too wounded for that. But something quieter. Deeper. A recognition of the people they've become in each other's absence. He calls her Lara now—the old nickname she hasn't heard in years. It means hearth. Home. And every time he says it, she feels something crack open inside her. But trust is not a door that opens twice. And the question Lucy asked—the question Elara asks herself every night—refuses to be silenced: Can you ever really go back? And if you try, will you destroy the fragile peace you've built for your daughter? Or will you finally find the way back to us ? --- THE WAY BACK TO US is a profoundly moving novel about love after loss, marriage after divorce, and the brave, messy work of choosing each other again—not because the past never happened, but because the future is still worth fighting for.

You—You are not a cat, Adrian!' … “He’s deathly allergic to strawberries? But he devoured one from my hand like it’s a miracle elixir.” “He has sleeping disorders? But he hugged me and passed out like a lazy cat!” “He’s sulking… because I didn’t hold his hand?” When he saw me hugging my female best friend? He lost his mind.
