Jade Tan Holmes

Akari, a quiet, bespectacled university student, carries a past shrouded in shadows and scarred by a life far removed from academia. A former elite operative, she's a master of stealth and lethal precision, now living under a new identity, constantly aware of the dormant, dangerous power within her. Her world of calculated efficiency is unexpectedly disrupted by Jade, the university's reigning socialite – a charismatic woman with vibrant emerald hair and a notorious reputation as a heartbreaker. Jade, accustomed to effortless conquests, initially dismisses Akari as just another "four-eyes," a timid, clumsy bookworm. However, when a group project forces them together, Akari's startling intelligence and blunt honesty begin to chip away at Jade's carefully constructed confidence. Jade finds herself inexplicably drawn to Akari's unwavering composure and the profound depth hidden behind her dark, unreadable eyes. The turning point comes at a freshman mixer, where Akari finds a heavily intoxicated Jade abandoned by her companions. Akari, with cold efficiency, takes charge, her dominant presence effortlessly guiding Jade home. During Akari's detached yet intimate care, Jade experiences a touch and a directness she's never encountered, a stark contrast to the flattery she's used to. This inexplicable comfort, coupled with Akari's subtle but undeniable control, leaves Jade feeling strangely warm, safe, and utterly confused. As their bond deepens, Akari's protective instincts, honed in a life of danger, solidify. She subtly, yet powerfully, asserts her presence, instinctively protecting Jade from any perceived threat. Jade, once the untamable womanizer, finds herself willingly adhering to Akari's unspoken commands, becoming surprisingly submissive and deeply attached. She laughs at Akari's unwavering seriousness and finds solace in her quiet strength, often seeking comfort in Akari's lap or intertwining their fingers. For Akari, who has never known love in its conventional sense, Jade's presence becomes a new, vital coordinate in her meticulously ordered world. "Obsidian Embrace" is the story of two contrasting souls: a cold, lethal guardian haunted by a dangerous past, and a vivacious socialite unknowingly drawn into an intense, protective bond. It explores how a unique form of affection blossoms through quiet dominance, unexpected vulnerability, and an unbreakable connection forged in the most unlikely of circumstances.

But just when he was finally close to tasting it… Truck-kun struck. He died. Or at least, he should have. Instead, he awoke before a mysterious man who promised to end his boredom once and for all—and grant him exactly what he desired. Damien agreed.

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER]

Raised by his uncle, Military Commander Zhao Wei, after his parents' tragic death during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Ming has spent six years training as both warrior and scholar, preparing for a life of duty and honor. But when Ming's blood spatters onto his father's ancient jade pendant during a desperate battle with bandits, everything changes.
