Once, there was a girl named Concordia.
She was not born in a palace, but her father made one. He took a crown, a kingdom, and a title that didn't belong to him-and gave her the only life she was allowed to live: the life of a princess.
Draped in silver, robed in silk, and sharpened like a blade, she's raised to smile, bow, and bleed for the throne.
Every day, it's the same old lesson: be perfect, or be replaced
Then the Rew return.
They are not monsters, exactly. They are older than monsters-older than memory, than truth, than thrones. With their arrival, the kingdom collapses overnight. Her family is slaughtered. Her people vanish. And Concordia, the girl who was never meant to rule, is left alone to face a world steeped in blood and ruin.
No longer hidden behind her role, she's left with a secret only she seems to understand.
But the deeper she looks, the more the lines blur between myth and memory, between duty and destiny, between who she is and who she was never allowed to become.
If Concordia wants to stop the Rew, she'll have to learn how to cry. How to fight. How to fail gloriously.
Because being a princess isn't who she is.
It's just where her story begins.

Her System, His Obsession
Prologue - The Beginning They said she was weak. They said she was unwanted, unloved, unworthy. But when Ji Yunxi opened her eyes in a body that wasn't her own, she learned the truth- she was bound to a System. A cruel, merciless voice whispered in her mind: > [Complete your missions. Cross the worlds. Face slap the fakes.] Every task seemed small. Protect a sibling. Pass an exam. Survive a night.

And in the end, when the final world comes, when her true mission is revealed... she will have to decide: Will she walk away, or will she finally admit that across a thousand worlds, his obsession became her fate?Complete
