The world is controlled by the elements-there are kingdoms of fire, water, air, earth, light, and ice. Theodore is the charming Prince of Light, but he has a secret-a secret that will not give his kingdom, Althea, heirs. Dorian Blackwood is a child of Fire and Earth, a combination of chaos. And yet, he is a Knight of Althea. His lineage is a secret-the only reason he is a Knight in Althea. But when his path crosses with the royals, what will happen? Solara Keahi is tasked with protecting her chief with her fire. When everything goes wrong, she has to face her past, relieve it once more. Prince Aurelian, the cold Prince of Ice, is ruthless for a reason-reasons shaped by the monarchy. When he's thrust into a marriage alliance, he is obliged to go with it against his wishes because he believes that's what his duty is. Aella Ciel, a powerful assassin. Tasked with killing a princess, she somehow manages to protect the royal, and not kill her. Isadora Callingn is a powerful princess. And, also a threat to the patriarchal throne. Unexpectedly driven into a marriage alliance, she must figure out a way to remain celibate. However, all it takes for the World to fracture is a broken marriage alliance, a Knight's unsheathed swords, and a few illusions. When the alliance is sabotaged, the four must play a dangerous game of chess, one where the pawn isn't expendable. And amidst it all is Isadora.

Please do not vote ***** Yan Heqing suddenly awakens right before signing a substitute contract and realizes he is a cannon fodder character in a novel. In the story, he becomes Lu Muchi's substitute for his beloved for three years, suffering humiliation, abuse, and manipulation. Despite everything, he falls in love with Lu Muchi due to Stockholm Syndrome. Abandoned as a child with his twin brother, Yan Heqing sacrificed many opportunities for his brother, only to be betrayed. In the end, he even donated his eyes to help his brother and died at 21. But after awakening, Yan Heqing decides he will no longer be a victim. This time, he will take revenge on everyone who ruined his life-his abusive foster family, his selfish brother, and Lu Muchi.
