On that note, making love is a common practice and is regarded as deeply romantic." —Book 1 of Romances in Qiyuan— Haruki had no memories prior to his awakening.

In a world consumed by technology and progress, 23-year-old Yuuto Ishigami lives a quiet, unassuming life, immersing himself in ancient myths, forgotten legends, and obscure texts. But when he stumbles upon a cryptic manuscript hinting at the existence of a lost energy—mana, qi, the lifeblood of gods—his curiosity turns into an obsession.
