The first meeting was at a small bar. A friend nudged his arm, smiling somewhat suggestively: A woman like Daisy Ginger should be kept in a vase, constantly admired, and toyed with at any moment. At that time, she seemed to be drunk and was persuaded by her friend to take to the dance floor and perform a dance. He propped up his face, watching the glamorous woman with casual indifference under the dazzling lights. Daisy Ginger. The name is spicy enough. The figure. Also spicy enough. * Banyan City’s young Master Wen, afflicted with a severe illness, was deemed by doctors at birth to not live past the age of thirty.

In a world ruled by Seven Elements, balance comes at a cruel price: one soul must die again and again. Xanthe Aurelisse has lived many lives—but remembers none of them. Born seemingly ordinary, she is haunted by dreams of starlight, death, and a man standing in the dark, calling her name like both a promise and a curse. That man is Sailor Noctyrr Valecrest—an immortal bound to the Void, feared as the gods’ enforcer. For centuries, he has watched Xanthe reincarnate, love, and die… all to sustain a world that feeds on her sacrifice. Xanthe is the Star Soul, bearer of Aether, the origin of all elements. Her rebirth stabilizes magic. Her death renews it. And Sailor—who once defied the gods to save her—was cursed with immortality so he would remember every lifetime she forgot. When fate pulls them together once more, Xanthe’s awakening disrupts the elements themselves. Fire rages, seas rebel, and the gods grow afraid—for when Aether and Void resonate, even divinity can fall. As fragments of her past lives surface and forbidden love blooms again, Xanthe must choose: continue the cycle and save the world, or break it—and doom the elements forever. Because this time, she remembers one thing clearly: She has always loved him. And he has always waited.

Veera Herrera had the perfect childhood and upbringing. Even though her mother had left her life very early on she had the most amazing father. And her father had the most amazing best friend. His name was Theodore Harrison, and he worked in the same company as her father. Growing up she called him Uncle Theo. Everything in her life was perfect. Until, it wasn't. The day after her graduation, Veera's father got into an accident and tragically died. Veera was devastated. Theodore was devastated. They had nobody but each other to lean on as they struggled through the grieving process. Veera was grateful to still have her Uncle Theo with her and embraced him tightly. Theo too was grateful to still have his adoptive daughter with him. Though she had always called him Uncle, he always saw himself as her second father. He did what he'd always done and stroked the top of her head. But the moment Veera looked up at him with her teary eyes, something changed. She didn't look like a little girl anymore. And he no longer looked like her Uncle anymore. In that subtle moment of grief and vulnerability, something within then changed and they were not able to look at each other the same way again. What they were feeling was wrong. The atmosphere between them was charged. Neither one acknowledged the change. They did not dare to point out the obvious. They couldn't. What would people think? What would her dead father think? But feelings cannot simply be evaded. Especially not those built on love. All it took was one bottle of wine and a rainstorm. They sat across from each other, on the anniversary of the deceased and shared stories of the past. There was laughter and tears. A lot of tears. And then the gentle pairs of hands which reached out to comfort each other suddenly could not let go. Veera had great respect for her Uncle Theodore. But what was happening now? Why was she in his bed? Why did her body feel so hot? Why was she returning his every kiss and touch and stroke? Why did he hold her so tightly and yet it didn't feel tight enough? And the aching emptiness inside of her, it was gone. At what point did respect turn into romance.

I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right? Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.* Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to get me fired. Rude? Oh, you bet. But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.) So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it. The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure. But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."
