Kruxier 'Kros' Morgrave, a renowed poet known for his hauntingly beautiful verses, lives a double life. Beneath his carefully crafted image lies his hidden identity as a necromancer-capable of communing with spirits and wielding forbidden powers. Consumed by grief over the untimely death of his beloved wife Priscilla Kartha, Kruxier becomes obsessed with the idea of resurrecting her soul. Desperate and reckless, he buys his wife's twin sister existence named Porscha Krishanta-who harbors a secret obsession towards him to the point she willingly offers herself as a vessel for the ritual, hoping it will forge an unbreakable bond between them.
Unaware of his nonstopped rituals that goes horribly wrong, instead of Priscilla's soul, a different entity takes shape-a sinister doppelgänger of Kruxier himself, bearing his face, his voice, and even his memories. This dark mirror quickly begins to unravel the life Kruxier has maintained, and it becomes dangerously fixated on Porscha, who cannot see the difference between the real Kruxier and this twisted double. As the doppelgänger begins to scheme, claiming Kruxier's life and attempting to replace him, Kruxier must face his own fractured soul and find a way to undo his reckless act before he loses everything-including the one person who remains bound to him, by love and by obsession.
Will Kruxier be able to reclaim his life and lay his wife's memory to rest? Or will his own dark creation succeed in stealing not only his identity but also the twisted affections of the woman who was once his only hope for redemption-his porcelain bride?
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.
