In the sterile, glass-and-steel heart of Thorne Tower, Lyra Belcourt is a woman with a secret mission. To the world, she is a brilliant auditor sent to dissect the crumbling financial empire of the enigmatic Silas Thorne. To Silas, she is the first person in years who doesn't flinch at his cold, calculated dominance. Driven by a dark, magnetic attraction, Silas offers her a deal: absolute access to his ledgers in exchange for absolute submission to his "Protocol"—a rigid lifestyle contract governing her every move, breath, and thought. As Lyra enters the "Obsidian Room," the story unfolds as a high-stakes game of power and sensory exploration. However, the deeper she sinks into Silas’s world, the more the reality around them begins to fracture. Silas is plagued by "glitches" in his memory and a haunting sense of deja vu, while Lyra is secretly recording his every physiological response. The corporate war with the ruthless Caspian Vane is merely a distraction from the terrifying truth hidden within the Gilded Ledger. The ultimate "mind-blowing" twist reveals that the "Thorne Protocol" isn't a game of lust, but a psychological simulation. Silas is a personality construct built by Lyra herself to replace a broken man named Leo. In a final, heart-stopping revelation, the readers discover that even Lyra’s control is an illusion—they are both trapped in a digital "Mirror Image" loop where their roles as Master and Servant are programmed to reset forever.

Cora was once the human ward of the Silver Moon Pack, a “charity case” tucked away in the shadows of a world ruled by predatory shifters. For five years, she shared a secret, soul-deep bond with Silas Vane, the powerful Alpha-Heir who promised her a future beyond her servant-class status. On the night of his coronation, Cora discovers she is pregnant with Silas’s heir—a miracle she believes will finally bridge the gap between their worlds. However, the dream is shattered when Silas publicly announces his betrothal to Lady Elara, a Pureblood Luna, to solidify his political power. When Cora confronts him, he ruthlessly dismisses their five-year history as a mere “distraction,” ordering her to remain in the servant’s wing and never speak of their past. Realizing that Silas would likely seize her child while keeping her in a gilded cage—or worse—Cora decides to die so that she can finally live. Years later, when a chance introduction forces them face-to-face, Cora must maintain her mask against Silas’s predatory instincts. Though her appearance is altered and her scent chemically suppressed, the raw, visceral hatred in her eyes captures Silas’s attention. Suspecting that the “ghost” of his past is standing right in front of him, Silas begins a lethal game of cat-and-mouse. Cora must now protect her son and her secrets from a King who has realized that the woman he erased was never truly gone.

To scrape together my mother's surgery money, I worked myself to the bone at this company for three straight years. My performance was always number one. By myself, I supported half the sales department. Then, a newly hired HR director decided every desk needed an AI camera, claiming it was to optimize efficiency. Every blink, every breath I took was measured and calculated by the system. "Warning. Employee Nathan Gray blinked more than twenty times within one minute. Mental distraction detected. Fine: 50." "Warning. Employee Nathan Gray took 3.5 seconds to drink water, exceeding the standard by 1.5 seconds. Slacking detected. Fine: 100." "Warning. Employee Nathan Gray's mouth corners drooped for over thirty seconds. Suspected spread of negative emotion. Fine: 200." The most ridiculous part was the way he stood in front of the entire department, pointing proudly at my data on the giant screen. "See that?" he said smugly. "This is the power of technology. In front of AI, you lazy freeloaders have nowhere to hide. Nathan, your bonus for this month has already been wiped out by the system. If you don't like it, get lost. Plenty of people are lining up to take your place." What he didn't know was that the AI system he trusted so blindly had its core code written by me. Tonight, I was going to show him what happened when he angered the one who built the machine.
