(When the Shade Speaks, Book I) Skyria, the floating island hidden from human eyes, is the cradle of the immortal Quarties—beings bound by blood, root, and prophecy. They worship the Tree of Carfein, whose roots touch the earth below and whose lifeblood grants them centuries of power. But kingdoms rot from within. When Aria, a human girl, is dragged into Skyria by the cruel prince Lirien to decipher an ancient diary, she uncovers secrets that should have stayed buried—secrets of the first king, of forbidden powers, and of a shadowed friend who never walks in the light.

Yet as betrayal shatters the crown, blood stains the throne, and Carfein begins to fall, Aria and Xyren are forced into exile together. Enemies by fate. Partners by necessity. And beneath the roots, the prophecy stirs— “Blood shall bind, and the root shall break.”

Shocking! The rough husband is the hidden master in the time-travel novel. She is the sacrificial victim for the male lead's pursuit of true love, the pitiful person who transforms grief and indignation into motivation, the obsessive person who constantly wants to slap the male lead's face with money, the lemon essence contrasting the female lead’s gentleness and generosity. Xu Qinghuan: Emma, is this talking about me? Xu Qinghuan transmigrated into a book, into a time-travel novel written by her best friend, where her father died early, her mother remarried, and she was raised in her second uncle's home since childhood. Her cousin and fiancé are entangled? "Break off the engagement, whoever wants the central air conditioner can take it!" Her biological mother manipulates her with work? Isn't it just going to the countryside? The Great Northeast's black land is fertile, where every year you can lie on the heated kang and eat for half the year. Which corporate slave wouldn’t love it? Most importantly, there is a big shot she wants to cling to. Jiang Xingye is someone that even the male lead admires, the future global richest man, the hidden master in the book. After going to the countryside, Xu Qinghuan goes straight to Jiang Xingye. Her original plan was to be a little follower for the big shot and never thought of developing an inappropriate relationship with him.

What about having a strong career ambition and no time for romance? What about being a 007 workaholic who doesn’t even return home?
