For fifteen years, Joanna Vane shone as the beloved jewel of Silverwood Manor. Until the shattering day revealed she was a foundling—a counterfeit heiress. Overnight: The Lord and Lady who doted on her became Elena Shaw's devoted parents. Her cherished brother, Lord Cedric Vane, hurled Joanna from the manor balcony to please Elena. Her betrothed, the battle-scarred General Silas Graves, stood beside Elena as Joanna fell. To protect Elena, they let false accusations condemn Joanna. Not a word in her defense. Not a coin for her comfort. For three brutal winters, she labored in the Crown’s Steam Laundry—her hands raw from lye, her spirit starved in silence. Then spring came. Lord & Lady Vane wept at her garret door: “Joanna, forgive us! The Manor is yours!” Lord Cedric knelt all night on the cobbled steps, frost biting his brow: “Sister, grant me grace!” General Graves staggered to her gate, bloodied and broken: “Joanna... Look upon me once more!” But the girl who loved them died in the laundry’s gloom. Mercy? May the ravens feast on their bones! Now a new fire burns in Joanna—and a lord who sees only her strength. As she rebuilds her life, those who shattered her past dare not tread near... Lest they lose even the shadow of the woman they destroyed.

My first love arrived like a sudden tempest, catching me off guard and sweeping me into a whirlwind of emotions. I regretfully recall how I treated her unfairly, often overlooking her delicate feelings and allowing my rudeness to cloud our moments together. She was the embodiment of gentleness and kindness, a rare gem amidst the chaos of my inattentiveness. Like a winter storm that bursts forth unexpectedly, she filled my life with a breathtaking beauty, leaving behind memories that sparkled like freshly fallen snow. But just as swiftly as she entered my heart, she began to melt away, leaving me with a longing to admire her exquisite beauty, a treasure I never fully grasped before it slipped through my fingers.

"Love is no different from the weather in Australia. Have I ever been there? No—but I've heard you can experience all four seasons in a single day. And for me, there was only one person who could make me feel both hell and heaven in seconds." ---- Si-Hyoon's life isn't exactly ordinary—though he tries to keep it that way. As a photographer in his mid-20s, he juggles single fatherhood and a complicated, undefined relationship with rising actor Jae-Eun—his longtime friend and the man he's been sleeping with for years. Si-Hyoon knows it isn't love... not on Jae-Eun's side, at least. But walking away feels impossible, leaving behind everything they've built over the years. When he joins the production team for Jae-Eun's newest film, everything changes. Nine-the second male lead of the film—the son of SZ company—mysterious, with a calm presence and unreadable gaze-enters their lives. Unlike Jae-Eun, Nine doesn't demand Si-Hyoon's affection but offers something far more dangerous: understanding. Now, caught between a toxic love he can't quit, like someone addicted to a drug, and the slow bloom of something peaceful, like someone craving silence after being trapped under loud thunder, Si-Hyoon must finally decide—who is worth holding onto? And can a broken heart still make room for something whole?

Somewhere in the depths of space… An object pulsed faintly, radiating light—yet at the same time, it seemed to absorb it. Its size was impossible to measure, as if its very existence defied the laws of reality. Anything that approached—asteroids, stars, even light itself—was consumed without a trace, disappearing into the void. If one were to observe closely, they would see the fabric of space twisting and distorting around it, yet somehow appearing stable—as if reality itself were an illusion.  Its rough, circular shape resembled what humans might call a black hole—though whether that truly defined its nature was a question beyond understanding. Its location? Fortunately for humankind, it was nowhere near the Milky Way galaxy. Suddenly, a streak of white and gold light erupted from the black hole's center, cutting through the darkness with blinding speed. It shot into the depths of space, with no sign of slowing or changing course. Its destination? Unknown.
