Could I have thought that in one not quite beautiful morning, my world would be turned upside down? I am an heiress of a noble line, an outstanding elementalist… and, at the emperor’s whim, a candidate-bride of the Supreme Ruler. A proposal you cannot refuse— even if in your plans there isn’t marriage, but study. And then dreams, step by step revealing someone else’s story, unexpectedly become real. Real—out of a distant past. What can a past life teach? The bitterness left by hurt and all-consuming hatred? Or perhaps patience and forgiveness? A question I have no answer to.
