“Listen for the buzz of the Golden Honeybee’s wings, Where it will guide you to a lonely mountain creek, Follow the path abandoned by the hearts of kings, And be sure not to make a single peep. Then, the White Tiger’s snores you’ll hear, Below the bright azure skies of crystal clear, Walk into the fiery sea of blazing chrysanthemums, Whilst being careful of the spirit foxes’ bums, And there, you will find me, Sleeping below the great hollow tree.”

In a world where the endless Sea of Essence fuels life itself, every being is born with an Inner Tide—a personal connection to the mystical energy that shapes reality. Warriors mold it into weapons, healers use it to restore life, and dimensional travelers harness it to explore uncharted realms. Kaien was born different—without an Inner Tide. Seen as a cursed anomaly, he was cast aside by society. But when a monstrous force known as the Negative Current attacks, Kaien’s latent power awakens: the ability to steal and wield the Inner Tides of others. Forced into a dangerous game of survival, Kaien must confront powerful clans, cunning guilds, and sprawling empires vying for control over the Sea of Essence’s richest sources. As whispers of war loom on the horizon, Kaien’s stolen strength becomes both his greatest weapon and his darkest curse. In a world where power flows like an unstoppable tide, will Kaien become its master—or drown in its depths?

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one.

When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.
