Celestia Aster always knew her luck was terrible, but learning she’s a cannon fodder in an unfinished novel? That’s a new low. On her twentieth birthday, she regains memories of her past life and discovers she’s doomed to die saving the heroine– all for the male lead’s tragic love story. What’s worse? In her past life, she’d paid to read this nonsense! Determined to change her fate, Celestia swears off her family’s indifference, the male lead’s drama, and the pitiful life of a pushover. But just as she starts to set her life straight, her three worldviews are once again shattered. First, her emotionally-constipated father– who once couldn’t tell her from a houseplant– suddenly starts awkwardly doting on her. Then, scheming Brother #1 flips his villain switch and starts sabotaging people for her. Rude Brother #2, the human thesaurus of profanity, now uses his sailor's mouth to curse out her enemies. Even the youngest, who used to look at her like she’d sprout fangs, has turned into a limpet, clinging to her like she’s his favorite stuffed toy. And just when she thinks things can’t get any weirder? The Crown Prince– the overpowered terror of the protagonist squad– decides he wants her… on his payroll. Mom, pick me up. I’m scared…

Which way is North? How do you reach North without seeing? His world is darkness, but not silence; for the staff in his hand sings. Curved from an ancient tree whose roots drink from the hidden warmth beneath the snow, it hums a melody only he can hear, a compass tuned to the heartbeat of the North. He navigates the world searching for his mother's homeland. The land he seeks is no barren waste. Rivers slice through ice like liquid sapphire, their music harmonizing with his staff. Towers of crystal and light pierce the horizon - spires built by forgotten hands, refracting auroras into swords of color. Here, cold is not an end but a crucible. Fruit trees, heavy with pomegranates glowing like embers, thrive where others would perish. Their sweetness is earned. Their roots know secrets. This is Frostsprite, where the land is like a fable. Are all fables true?

Joined by his business partners, Victor and Victoria, the ship carries not just crates of fine wine but also the weight of Ronaldo’s ambitions. The sprawling vessel, with its luxurious cabins and mysterious underbelly, becomes the backdrop for a journey that will forever alter the course of his life. Among the stars and sea, Ronaldo’s gaze is drawn to Aana, a spirited university student traveling with her father for her first oceanic adventure. She is a dreamer, a lover of theater, and a soul touched by quiet melancholy. Their initial conversations are lighthearted, yet beneath the surface lies a profound connection neither of them anticipated. As the ship sails into the night, their shared stories—of forgotten Shakespearean lines, thesis defenses, and heartbreaks—reveal their vulnerabilities and desires. Aana’s laughter is like music to Ronaldo, and her blue dress, fluttering in the wind, becomes an indelible image in his mind. But as their bond deepens, so does the sense of mystery surrounding Aana and the emotional walls she guards. Ronaldo’s poetic confession under the starlit sky leaves Aana shaken, her heart unexpectedly pulled toward this man who sees her as more than just fleeting beauty. Yet, as the ocean stretches endlessly before them, so too do the unspoken secrets and challenges that threaten to keep them apart. "The Ocean Between Us" is a tale of love found in unexpected places, where vulnerability meets courage and every stolen moment feels like a heartbeat away from destiny. But on this voyage, beneath the surface of their connection lies a storm waiting to unfold—one that will test the strength of their hearts and the limits of their choices.
