.Every April Fools' Day, my boyfriend joined his childhood friend in the same cruel prank, pretending to propose to me. Last year, I slipped the ring onto my finger, my heart full of hope. Suddenly, the mechanism snapped tight. Pain shot through my hand, and I cried out. He apologized afterward and promised that, this year, the proposal would be real. As such, I arrived carefully dressed, believing him. Instead, I was met with a face full of cake. He reached out gently, wiping the cream from my face as if it were nothing more than a harmless joke. However, this time, I took a step back. After six disappointments, I chose to walk away. So why was it that, in the end, he was the one consumed by regret?

I was the Falcone family's top consigliere. Their brain. And today, I was walking away—handing over the books to every legitimate business I ran, severing my final tie. My protégé couldn't understand. "You're the future of this family, Aurelia. You can't just leave." I shook my head with a bitter smile. They didn't know. I'd been secretly married to the Don, Vittorio Falcone, for three years. I thought my looks, my mind, and everything I gave him would be enough to win all of his love. A hit at the docks three months ago showed me the truth. I took thirteen bullets. Emergency. I needed the family surgeon—which required Vittorio's direct order. I called him over a dozen times. But when he finally answered, all I heard was a soft, breathless voice on his end. "Vittorio, we haven't cut my birthday cake. Will you hold my hand and cut it with me?" That voice. My best friend. The woman Vittorio once had a crush on. Carina. In the safe house, weak from blood loss, I dug the bullet out myself and had one of my men rush me to a family clinic. Right before they wheeled me into the OR, Vittorio burst in—carrying Carina. Twisted ankle. Needed a doctor. Now. My surgeon was dragged away. The antibiotics came too late. The wound got infected. I fought for my life for a week. When I woke up, I stared at my phone. Not a single message. The tears finally came. I understood. I was just the woman he'd been forced to marry after he was drugged and slept with me. A scandal averted. All he cared about was my value and his reputation. And me? The secret princess of the Rossi family, who gave up everything to build his empire. All for nothing. So I prepared four parting gifts. A celebration of our mutual destruction. Then he'd never see me again.

Iris and Lyra are sisters born into an ordinary mage family. Iris is actually the legendary Grand Supreme of Stardust, yet only thirty percent of her power has returned after being sealed by the Lord of the Abyss. To shield her sister from Abyssal assassins, she deliberately conceals her identity and lives as a common‑mage. Only a handful of her subordinates who fought alongside her know who she truly is. Lyra has long been in love with Dylan, the heir to the top‑tier Fire House, and looks forward to their engagement party with all her heart. She has no idea that Dylan has already secretly been involved with Chloe, the Water House prodigy. On the day of the engagement party, Dylan publicly breaks off their betrothal. Chloe humiliates Lyra with magic, pushing her to the brink of collapse. Witnessing her sister being mistreated, Iris stops holding back her power entirely. The ancient stardust magic bursts forth in an instant, overwhelming Chloe's water‑element magic with a single strike and stripping Dylan of his magic, stunning everyone present. From then on, Iris embarks on a journey of protecting her sister and turning the tables. She reveals the truth to Lyra: the Ancient Wind God Bloodline slumbering within her sister is the only power capable of countering the Abyss. She awakens Lyra's Wind God Bloodline. The two sisters expose Dylan's infidelity together, defeat successive assassination plots set by Dylan and Chloe at the academy, and ultimately foil the Lord of the Abyss's scheme to invade the continent. In the end, Iris becomes the Grand Supreme revered by the four great mage Houses, while Lyra grows into a powerful Grand Magus of Wind. Standing side by side, the two sisters become each other's strongest support."
