In a world where nearly everyone manifests magical powers by fifteen, Rikue Raito never did. No mana. No rank. No future. While others became Hunters, diving into dungeons and rising through the ranks, Raito stayed behind, cleaning their weapons for pocket change. Three years passed. He was mocked. Ignored. Left behind. Even Ayane, the girl he once promised to fight beside, started to lose faith. But everything changed the day his power finally manifested. Now, Raito doesn’t need to catch up. He doesn’t need to follow anyone’s path. Now the ones who looked down on him… will have to watch him rise.

Over time, heroes rise and villains fall. Heroes are remembered and immortalized in the hearts of the people, but no one truly remembers the countless "villains" they put down. If the villains are forgotten, can a hero truly remain one?

Three years ago, rising actress Xena Winter watched her entire world and a breakout role in a film by Hollywood’s most sought-after director, Xade Michael, implode when a sex tape surfaced, shattering her world.  No one knew the truth: the masked man in the video was Xade himself—drugged, unaware, and just as much a victim. That night cost them both everything… and left Xena with a secret he never knew existed—a daughter. Now, living under a false name and struggling to survive, Xena will do anything to protect her little girl.

One electrifying audition later, he casts her as his lead—unaware their shared past is about to explode.

Expecting a rival, he instead finds the fiery woman who visits his secret bakery—the one he can’t stop thinking about. Caught between two powerful men, hunted by her past, and desperate to protect her child, Xena must uncover the truth before it destroys them all. Because the night that ruined her… also bound her heart to both of them—in scandal, sin, and unforgotten desire.
