Lyra Vale has always lived with fire in her dreams. Burning skies. Shifting shadows. A voice she cannot place calling her name from beyond a world she was never meant to understand. In the remote village of Ember Hollow, she is told to ignore it. To stay quiet. To stay safe. But when the mountains begin to breathe and strange ash appears on her skin with no source, Lyra realizes something ancient is waking-and it knows her. Sent to investigate the growing fractures between realms, Kael Draven is a dragon shifter bound by duty, scars, and a past he refuses to speak of. He expects a threat. He does not expect her. Nor does he expect Tunrida Raevann-a figure whispered through fractured histories and forbidden oaths, a name tied to the earliest warnings of the Veil itself. Where Kael seeks order, Tunrida represents something far older... and far more dangerous: a truth that was never meant to survive the sealing of the worlds. Because Lyra is not just part of the unraveling Veil- She is tied to both sides of it. Dragons rule the skies. Devil-born walk the shadows beneath them. And the barrier that once kept their worlds apart is beginning to fail. As secrets unravel and forbidden power rises within her, Lyra is pulled between two forces that should never meet... and one man who should never care. But some bonds are not chosen. Some are remembered. And when the Veil finally breaks- it will not decide who survives. It will decide what remains.

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.
