After the sudden death of their parents in a car accident, 17-year-old Ren Amakusa and his twin sister Sayuri move from Tokyo to the quiet countryside town of Hoshigahara to live with their reclusive grandfather. The town, wrapped in gentle winds and crimson maple leaves, holds warm memories from their childhood—and haunting secrets they left behind. At Hoshigahara High School, Ren reunites with old acquaintances: Aoi Tsukimori, the gentle girl next door with a hidden bitterness. Kanna Yukishiro, a cold perfectionist who once had feelings for Ren. Haruka Miyazawa, a cheerful underclassman with an odd fascination with death. And Nao Inoue, a childhood friend Ren shared a confusing, almost romantic moment with years ago. As the twins adjust to their new life, old emotions resurface, and new bonds form—some pure, others twisted. Sayuri, once fragile and quiet, begins to grow distant… and oddly possessive. Ren is torn between the warmth of these new relationships and the deepening connection with his sister, who is the only one who truly understands the loss and loneliness they share. But in Hoshigahara, the past never truly stays buried. As memories return and choices are made, Ren must decide: Will he move forward into the light—or fall into the shadows of forbidden love?

I woke up in a cold, prison cell injured and with no memories, only the echo of a name I couldn't place and a pair of storm-dark eyes, haunting my dreams. He told me that I am his queen. That I belonged to him. King Vesperian, the enigmatic king with a smile like sin and a gaze that unraveled me. He pulled me from the shadows and draped me in silks and jewels, swearing I was safe, cherished… loved. But if I was his, why did it feel like I was being watched, studied, played? In a palace wrapped in beauty and secrets, I walk the line between fantasy and fear, drawn to a husband who feels like both protector and captor. The court whispers, the walls close in, and with every fleeting memory that returns, I’m forced to wonder: is this a second chance at love—or the beginning of a dangerous game I already lost once?

"Shall I tell you a little secret? But I have to warn you, you won't like it." No one likes spoilers, therefore, I present this to you. "Is it a book filled with spoilers or a book specifically about spoilers?" Read between the lines, that is what you must do when you are eager to find out. To figure out a secret, to interpret and take note of what there is to come. "It is kind of like that, but I would rather refer to it as a compilation or a series." "Or an outline, a note, reminder for what'll end up happening, whatever sounds right to you." A story that has only one plot, universe, and meaning is not how you would describe this one. Spoiler though, you'll never be satisfied. "One more thing... None of this is real. Unless you know exactly what I mean." /Extra/
