Welcome to Stella Academy: Where Legends Are Forged
Nestled within the heart of Theurgy, Stella Academy is the pinnacle of excellence-a sprawling institution where brilliance meets ambition. From its silver spires that pierce the heavens to its ancient halls steeped in lore, it is a place where magic, intellect, and power intertwine.
But behind its majestic facade lies fierce competition, ancient secrets, and the unrelenting pressure to rise above. Here, students aren't just learning-they're fighting for their place in a kingdom built on hierarchy and influence. To succeed is to secure a future among the elite; to fail is to fade into obscurity.
For Maxine Von Schmit, an unranked middle-class girl adopted into a noble family, entering Stella Academy is not just about education-it's her chance to prove she belongs. As she navigates the world of peerages, magical duels, and political intrigue, Maxine discovers that the academy holds more than just opportunities-it hides truths about her past, dangers lurking in its shadows, and challenges that will test her in ways she never imagined.
Lavender is in love with Yuan, the perfect guy--kind, sweet, charming, and a musician like her. The problem? He's not real. He only exists in her dreams.

Lavender Laxamana can't sing or play the guitar in front of anyone anymore. She hides in her dreams where she can perform and play music to her heart's desire with Yuan. Lavender has already accepted that the man she loves is just a figment of her imagination, but when she crosses paths with Aki, a starting artist who goes by the name of Musikero and looks and sounds like Yuan, Lavender is hopeful they can finally be together in real life. But reality slaps her in the face when she finds out Aki is the exact opposite of Yuan, and he loathes her.
While Lavender struggles to find the connection between Yuan and Aki, can she finally find the courage to stop escaping from reality--no matter that Aki may be in love with another woman? And can she finally face the rhythm and beats of her heart and pursue her passion again? How far will she go--or not go--for her dreams?
