[A girl’s coming of age + no romance + magic academy + youthful fantasy + ensemble adventure]
Ye Wan was once the most unremarkable good-for-nothing in the world of magic,
but at eighteen, she revealed a talent for resonating with countless forms of magic.
In Hefacheng, where magic and steam dance together, she finally opened the gates of Norlen Academy.
Mysterious companions? A high-pressure mentor and student relationship? Monster-hunting adventures? Hidden currents? Her former self?
In the blind spots beyond the reach of all light, the outline of another girl always seems to lurk in her shadow.
“Long time no see, big sister.”
This is a fantasy story about loneliness and growing up.
May her courage as she swims against the current leave an echo in your heart.
“When a stray cat finds a home, it no longer has to be called ‘the one that rummages through trash.’”
[Content notes]
1. Fantasy ensemble cast. This is not a face-slapping or power-leveling wish-fulfillment story. Please steer clear if that’s not for you.
2. Not a romance. Romance is not the focus, there are no couples, and no official pairing.
3. Slow burn. The writing emphasizes atmosphere and pauses, with emotional passages, light comedy, and battle scenes.
