When Eris, goddess of strife and discord, learned she wasn't invited to Peleus and Thetis' wedding, she became more envious than she had ever been. She became enraged and clever at the same time when she discovered that she was the only one who had never been offered an invitation to attend. Infamous for her golden apple, she created the war beheld before people of the new generation started, the Trojan War. But all went well as the war ended, making mortals and immortals live in peace. Lives live in their realm where they should be: Mortal, Olympus, and Underworld.
Lives were never fair and that little narrative made living not unfair to everyone. But the greatest discord and strife never felt peace. She not only threw the golden apple to the three goddesses fighting pride, wisdom, and beauty, but she also held back all of her fury and her hideous intentions for the realms there could be.
The gods, goddesses, and titans, minor or not, were at peace. They live the routine they believed was the best. Little did everyone know that Eris did not just throw the golden apple to the goddesses that caused the Trojan War, she also threw her dark chaos to Eros; the god of love himself making him lose to his own battles. As a result, he shot arrows at twelve immortals, making them bore the lives of the demigods who should never set foot to Earth. They had no idea that the Trojan War had not only come to an end but had also sparked a brand-new conflict in which everyone was but a pawn in the hands of the Queen and King of the chessboard Strife and Discord herself had designed.
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.

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?
