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.

Au sommet de sa carrière, l'actrice de liste A, Song Ning, a annoncé son retrait de l'industrie du divertissement par amour, choquant la nation. Tout le monde pensait qu'elle avait dû trouver son foyer idéal. C'est pour cela qu'elle était si déterminée. Au début, Song Ning le pensait aussi. Pour le reste de sa vie, elle ne serait pas une célébrité. Elle serait seulement une femme vertueuse et dévouée qui prendrait soin de son mari et de ses enfants à la maison. Cependant, la nuit précédant leur mariage, elle a découvert que son fiancé avait une liaison avec sa meilleure amie. Enragée, Song Ning a trouvé un homme au hasard pour enregistrer leur mariage à l'entrée du Bureau des Affaires Civiles. Elle voulait initialement se venger de son fiancé pourri, mais elle ne s'attendait pas à ce que l'homme avec qui elle a enregistré son mariage fut l'héritier du plus grand groupe financier du pays, Mu Chen. Après leur mariage, Mu Chen chérissait Song Ning et la protégeait de toutes les manières possibles. Il ne laissait personne la tourmenter. Song Ning a toujours pensé qu'elle serait heureuse pour le reste de sa vie et vivrait la meilleure vie qu'elle désirait. C'est vrai, elle l'a obtenu. C'était juste un peu différent de ce qu'elle avait imaginé au départ. La personne qui lui avait tout donné était quelqu'un d'autre. Des années plus tard… Song Ning regardait Mu Chen avec affection. "Je suis vraiment chanceuse. Merci à Dieu de t'avoir rencontré et de m'avoir sauvée de l'enfer." Mu Chen sourit faiblement. "Oui, remercions Dieu." Cependant, Song Ning ne saura jamais. Mu Chen ne parlait pas de remercier Dieu de lui avoir permis de rencontrer Song Ning. Il remerciait Dieu d'avoir fait en sorte que le fiancé de Song Ning la trompe, pour qu'il puisse avoir sa chance. Il n'y avait pas de rencontre accidentelle. C'était juste une poursuite préméditée. Ce jour-là, il avait attendu Song Ning à l'extérieur du Bureau des Affaires Civiles pendant dix heures…

Auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere verkündete die A-Schauspielerin Song Ning ihren Rückzug aus der Unterhaltungsbranche aus Liebe und schockierte damit die Nation. Alle dachten, dass sie ihr ideales Zuhause gefunden haben musste. Deshalb war sie auch so entschlossen. Das dachte Song Ning anfangs auch. Für den Rest ihres Lebens würde sie keine Berühmtheit mehr sein. Sie würde nur eine tugendhafte und tugendhafte Frau sein, die sich zu Hause um ihren Mann und ihre Kinder kümmern würde. Doch in der Nacht vor ihrer Hochzeit fand sie heraus, dass ihr Verlobter eine Affäre mit ihrer besten Freundin hatte. Wütend suchte Song Ning einen beliebigen Mann auf, um ihre Ehe am Eingang des Amtes für zivile Angelegenheiten zu registrieren. Ursprünglich wollte sie sich an ihrem dreckigen Verlobten rächen, aber sie hatte nicht damit gerechnet, dass der Mann, der seine Ehe mit ihr registrierte, der Erbe des größten Finanzkonzerns des Landes, Mu Chen, war. Nachdem sie geheiratet hatten, kümmerte sich Mu Chen rührend um Song Ning und beschützte sie auf jede erdenkliche Weise. Er erlaubte niemandem, sie zu schikanieren. Song Ning dachte immer, dass sie für den Rest ihres Lebens glücklich sein und das beste Leben führen würde, das sie wollte. Das ist richtig, sie hat es bekommen. Es war nur ein wenig anders, als sie es sich ursprünglich vorgestellt hatte. Die Person, die ihr alles gab, war jemand anderes. Viele Jahre später... Song Ning sah Mu Chen liebevoll an. "Ich habe wirklich Glück. Gott sei Dank bin ich dir begegnet und du hast mich aus der Hölle gerettet." Mu Chen lächelte schwach. "Ja, Gott sei Dank." Doch Song Ning würde es nie erfahren. Mu Chen sprach nicht davon, Gott dafür zu danken, dass er Song Ning treffen durfte. Er dankte Gott, dass er zuließ, dass Song Nings Verlobter sie betrog, damit er eine Chance bekam. So etwas wie eine zufällige Begegnung gab es nicht. Es war einfach eine vorsätzliche Verfolgung. An diesem Tag wartete er zehn Stunden lang vor dem Büro für zivile Angelegenheiten auf Song Ning...

Das Verlobungsgeschenk beträgt zwei Millionen Dollar, keinen einzigen Cent weniger. Jiang Yu ist bereits achtzehn Jahre alt und kann jetzt heiraten. Schicken Sie das Geld auf meine Karte, und die Sache ist erledigt!" Jiang Yu sah ihre Mutter an, die am Verhandlungstisch ununterbrochen redete. Sie beobachtete, wie ihre Mutter ihren Preis nannte, als sie Jiang Yu verkaufte. Jiang Yu konnte es nicht fassen. Vor achtzehn Jahren brachten sie das falsche Baby aus dem Krankenhaus nach Hause, und Jiang Yu, die echte Tochter einer wohlhabenden Familie, landete bis vor einem Jahr in einem Waisenhaus. Jiang Ran, die falsche Tochter der Familie Jiang, wuchs mit einem silbernen Löffel im Mund auf. Da sie von klein auf über bessere Mittel verfügte, war sie in jeder Hinsicht besser als Jiang Yu und wurde der Stolz der Familie Jiang. Jiang Yu, die sich die meiste Zeit in der Außenwelt herumtrieb, war nichts weiter als ein Landei, das ihre Mutter in den Kreisen der Gesellschaft zum Gespött machte. Doch Jiang Yu hatte keine Ahnung, wie groß der Hass ihrer Mutter auf sie war. An dem Tag, an dem sie achtzehn Jahre alt wurde, "verkaufte" ihre Mutter sie zu einem bestimmten Preis. Jiang Yu sagte: "Wenn du deine Tochter mit jemand anderem verheiraten willst, sollte es Jiang Ran sein. Ich bin deine echte Tochter. Du bist diejenige, die Jiang Ran fälschlicherweise nach Hause gebracht hat!" Ihre Mutter erwiderte: "Halt den Mund. Ich wünschte, ich hätte dich nicht zur Welt gebracht. Du hast nichts als Schande über mich gebracht!" Jiang Ran sagte: "Große Schwester, alles, was Mama tut, ist nur zu deinem Besten. Mach ihr keine Vorwürfe." Ihre Mutter sagte: "Ich bin überzeugt, dass sie nichts anderes als eine Schuldeneintreiberin ist, die zu mir gekommen ist, um ihre Schulden einzutreiben! Entweder du gibst mir zwei Millionen Dollar, oder du heiratest gehorsam!" Jiang Yu verließ verzweifelt das Haus. Durch eine verrückte Kombination von Faktoren heiratete sie versehentlich einen Mr. CEO. Von da an verwöhnte der dreißigjährige Mann seine achtzehnjährige Frau bis zum Äußersten. Das kleine Mädchen sagte: "Mister, jemand hat Ihre Frau schikaniert!" Der Mann: "Welcher inkompetente Narr ist so blind, dass er es wagt, dich zu schikanieren?"

Seven thousand years later, she became the Goddess of Darkness, and crowned as the queen of the United Empires of Darkness. She reigned over the United Empires of Darkness, which composed of Devil Empire, Vampire Empire, Werewolf Empire, Snake People Empire, and Dragon Island. She created the strongest army, which composed of seven royal guard regiments, dragon knight army, phoenix knight army, vampire army, werewolf army, snake people army, and dragon army. She blessed her soldiers with superpowers, and her soldiers returned her with loyalty and respect. She hosted eleven fun contests after Christmas, which were Red Wine Brewing Contest, Music Contest, Dancing Contest, Ghost Storytelling Contest, Talent Show Contest, Costume Design Contest, Cooking Contest, Dragon Riding Contest, Horror Storytelling Contest, Romance Storytelling Contest and Fantasy Storytelling Contest. She hosted resurrection ceremonies in Heaven Company for six days, threw thirty chosen souls into another world, and entered another world on her own in the last day, in search of the better self. When she came to her destiny's crossroads, she chose the path not taken, and wondered how things might have been different.

En la cumbre de su carrera, la actriz de primera lista Song Ning anunció su retiro de la industria del entretenimiento por amor, causando conmoción en la nación. Todo el mundo pensó que debió haber encontrado su hogar ideal. Era por eso que estaba tan decidida. Al principio, Song Ning también lo creía. Por el resto de su vida, no sería una celebridad. Solo sería una mujer virtuosa y buena que cuidaría de su esposo e hijos en casa. Sin embargo, en la noche antes de su boda, descubrió que su prometido tenía un affair con su mejor amiga. Furiosa, Song Ning encontró a un hombre al azar para registrar su matrimonio en la entrada del Registro Civil. Originalmente quería vengarse de su despreciable prometido, pero no esperaba que el hombre con quien registró su matrimonio fuera el heredero del grupo financiero más grande de la nación, Mu Chen. Después de casarse, Mu Chen adoraba a Song Ning y la protegía de todas las maneras posibles. No permitía que nadie la intimidara. Song Ning siempre pensó que sería feliz por el resto de su vida y viviría la mejor vida que quería. Eso es correcto, lo consiguió. Solo que era un poco diferente de lo que originalmente había imaginado. La persona que le dio todo fue alguien más. Muchos años después... Song Ning miraba a Mu Chen con afecto. —Realmente tengo suerte. Gracias a Dios que te conocí y me salvaste del infierno —dijo ella. Mu Chen sonrió débilmente. —Sí, gracias a Dios —respondió él. Sin embargo, Song Ning nunca sabría. Mu Chen no hablaba de agradecer a Dios por permitirle conocer a Song Ning. Agradecía a Dios por permitir que el prometido de Song Ning la engañara y así él tendría una oportunidad. No había tal cosa como un encuentro accidental. Era solo una persecución premeditada. Ese día, él esperó a Song Ning fuera del Registro Civil durante diez horas...
