Mag-log inAria Carver has never known that she's not related to the Kent family by blood. When her childhood sweetheart and the rest of the world turn on her, the Kent family kicks her out and tells her to search for her biological parents in the hole she'd crawled out from… Aria laughs it off. She's about to stun everyone by revealing her secret identity, but it turns out the "hole" the Kent family had mentioned is actually the richest family in Janovin, the Carver family! Over the course of a single night, she goes from the Kent family's fake daughter, who's despised by everyone, to the actual daughter of the richest man in the country. She also has six brothers who absolutely adore her! Her eldest brother is a domineering president. "Let's pause the meeting right here. Get me a ticket back to the country—I wanna see who are the people who have the nerve to bully my sister!" Her second-eldest brother is a famous celebrity. "Cancel the function. I'm gonna take my sister home right now." Her third-eldest brother is a god in his industry. "Postpone the competition. Nothing's more important than my sister." This rocks the country!

But before she can reject him, Landon York, the president of York Group and the son of the renowned York family, proposes to her. It makes her the talk of the town!
view moreHomer looked down at his hands, feeling the steady return of his magic flowing through his veins. A long-lost smile spread across his face. This time, he hadn't just escaped death; he had regained his powers and grown stronger than before. He could tell that he was only half a step away from becoming an Arcane High Priest.Aria jutted her chin. "Mr. Bond, rest well. If you don't recover soon, your apprentices might come knocking on my family's door."Homer frowned. "If they dare to cause you all any trouble, I'll kick them out of the sect."Aria smiled. "Good. Take care of yourself. I still have other matters to handle, but I'll visit you again tomorrow."Homer waved his hands. "Go ahead. Now that my power is back, there's no need to worry about Sylas ambushing me. I'll be fine."With that, Aria and Landon left his ward.…In the meantime, Sylas and his men were somewhere in the underground palace. A thin chill gathered at Sylas' fingertips as his men handed over the dossier
The driver instinctively slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching sharply against the pavement.Sylas pushed the car door open and looked ahead warily. Beneath the streetlight, a lone figure stood in the middle of the road. His poised stance and tailored attire only heightened the quiet menace radiating from him."It's you?" Sylas' voice chilled. He recognized the man as the one usually with Aria. He had always come across as mild and unassuming—an ordinary, defenseless man.Yet, something about Landon's presence triggered every alarm in Sylas' mind. The weight of his presence was crushing, far beyond what Sylas had felt even when facing Homer. It was obvious that Landon was far more dangerous.Landon turned slowly, revealing his handsome yet indifferent face. His eyes were devoid of emotion, gleaming like ice untouched for centuries. The moment his gaze met Sylas', the latter stiffened. It was the look of a predator sizing up its prey, and it stole the air from Sylas' lungs.
One after the other, Aria and Landon stepped into the ward and approached Homer, who lay unconscious on the hospital bed. "Mr. Bond, hang in there," Aria said quietly, her voice soothing. "I will save you."Then, she turned to Landon. "I need to focus on treating Mr. Bond. I'll leave everything else to you."He nodded lightly. "Okay."Aria took out her needle case again. Pinching a silver needle between her fingers, she slowly inserted it into Homer's skin. The needle trembled at once, as though encountering a terrifying force.From the vibration, Aria sensed it clearly—Homer's consciousness had been brushed by a streak of dark energy."I'm counting on you," she whispered. Without another word, she closed her eyes and gathered her consciousness into a fine strand. Following the markings on the needle's base, she guided it carefully into Homer's mind.On the bed, Homer's previously steady breathing suddenly faltered. His eyes snapped open, and his left hand lunged toward Aria
No one knew the old man wasn't a real person. In truth, he was a puppet Sylas had animated using dark arts, and it had served its purpose well.The puppet had lowered Homer's guard and seized his soul before he even realized what was happening. Had he not been gravely injured, he would never have fallen for it. After all, he was a powerful arcane priest. But now, he was completely at Sylas' mercy.That was exactly what Sylas had counted on. What surprised him, however, was that someone had managed to save Homer in spite of those heavy injuries.So, he gathered everyone who had been at the scene and visited Homer at the hospital. It was the perfect opportunity to blend in with the crowd and get close to him.Homer's mentees were guarding his ward. To bypass them, Sylas needed a new plan.Meanwhile, Homer's consciousness was in chaos. His soul was trapped in a purplish black dimension, while Sylas' spectral form stared at him with mocking amusement."Homer, you're a tough one. I
