A mysterious girl. A kingdom that whispers. And six crown princes who never saw her coming. In a world where names echo and silence is often overlooked, she arrives—unexplained, unshaken, and unforgettable. Kourtney Bethaway appeared in Hillgovia six months ago—out of nowhere. With eyes that saw more than they ever revealed, and an elegance that didn’t try to impress, she carried an air that drew attention without asking for it. Working under the famed designer Jean Perrie, she lived like a shadow stitched into silk—quiet, composed, impossible to place. Everything begins to shift the night she crosses paths with six crown princes from the allied kingdoms. Tension hums. Glances sharpen. Something about her draws attention—quietly, stubbornly. Not loud, not deliberate, but there. Present in every pause, in every breath held just a little too long. They don’t know who she is. She doesn’t explain. She doesn’t ask for their attention. But something about her demands it all the same. Because sometimes, the most unforgettable storms don’t arrive loudly. They enter the room and say nothing—wrapped in silence, cloaked in grace. And just as the world begins to notice her— She disappears. No trace. No warning. No answers. Only the memory of a girl who felt like a question no one knew how to ask… And the unsettling sense that her story isn’t done. Not yet.

In the quiet town of Aokashi, in the fictional country of Hinokuni, spring returns as always—but for Akira Hayasaka, everything feels painfully the same. A top student, admired for his brilliance and composure, Akira is secretly drowning in expectations and isolation. That begins to change when he’s seated next to Airi Tachibana, a quiet book-loving girl who doesn’t smile just to please or look at him with admiration. She doesn't try to talk to him, impress him, or pretend to be anything. She just… exists. Calmly. Honestly. A chance encounter while saving a stray kitten brings them closer, and Akira discovers a hidden side of her—an anonymous online writer whose words feel too personal, too familiar. Unspoken thoughts. Quiet truths. Things he’s never had the courage to say aloud. As petals fall and seasons change, Akira and Airi slowly begin to understand each other—not through loud declarations or dramatic gestures, but through silence, presence, and the small steps that lead to something more.

Haunted by words he never said, David steps into a story that didn’t end with death — it began with a message left too late.

I stopped sleeping around the time I started seeing shadows that didn’t belong to anyone. The kind that breathed behind cupboard doors. Whispered when no one else was home. I used to think I was losing my mind. Then I met Ardere. She transferred in with haunted eyes and bruises she didn’t talk about. The kind of girl who didn’t touch anyone—and for good reason. Her power wasn’t fire, or flight, or anything survivable. It was grief. Weaponized. If she brushed your skin, you felt every dead thing that ever lived inside her. Most people stayed away. I couldn’t. She was dangerous in a way no one understood. And I was already too hollow to care. Maybe that’s why her power didn’t break me the way it broke everyone else. Or maybe it did. Just slower. Then the people who once stole her came back. And the only way to stop what’s coming is to let her be taken again. To make her break loud enough that they come running. She asked me to help her do it. And I did. I hurt her in ways I swore I never would. She’s gone now. And I don’t know if what’s left of her will ever come back.

Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation. But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

Crossover Fanfiction: My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU × The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya..

【Ending in progress】On her wedding day, she found out her fiancé of three years was in bed with another woman. In her utter despair, Xi Yemo, the most powerful man in A City, kneeled on one knee holding a ten-carat diamond ring, "Woman, marry me." "Xi Yemo, don't mess around." She was cornered by him under the dim staircase, while people were passing by above. The man’s eyes narrowed dangerously, "You're shouting so loud, is it not because you want me to mess about?" Aargh! Shameless, disgusting man. They had agreed to a marriage of convenience, no love involved. Yet, every night, he would punctually turn up in her bedroom. "You've got the wrong door, your room is next door." "Wherever my wife is, that's where I am." Finally, one day when Lan Xin Ai could no longer tolerate him and was about to divorce, the unemotional-looking but actually manipulative man casually replied, "With my child in your womb, who do you think you can marry?"

Zhulan, in a transmigration novel about a supporting female's counterattack through farming, managed a triple leap: getting married, bearing children, and becoming a mother-in-law. The point to focus on: She became the wicked mother-in-law from the counterattack stories. From 26 to 36, not to mention, with six kids in tow, two daughters-in-law, a few grandkids, and a still-living husband—emphasis on the fact that he's not her original spouse, but the one who trapped her into transmigration. Only after becoming the original body did Zhulan realize she was miserably tricked by her two daughters-in-law. The elder daughter-in-law had a loud voice, complete with a 'brain-enhancing' feature—it turned every little issue into a big deal once it reached her mouth. The younger daughter-in-law was timid and weak, bursting into tears at the drop of a hat, perfectly crafting the image of Zhulan as a wicked mother-in-law. Zhulan, ".......This life is really unbearable." Someone, "You still have me." Zhulan, "Ha, you're the one who screwed me over the most!" Someone, "......"
