    Summary

    Avid reader Aventurine wakes up as a noble in his favourite novel, 'Trailblazing Romance' which should've been a dream come true—until he realises he's inhabiting a body with a mysterious illness whose of no one else but the nameless spouse of Veritas Ratio—the villain he always loathed and who the spouse is destined to be executed alongside.

    Determined to (literally) keep his head on his shoulders, Aventurine does everything in his power to avoid the execution that ended the original timeline.

    But while doing so, he learns that Veritas Ratio isn’t exactly the villain and that the heroine perspective might not have been exactly correct.

    He had to admit, even though Trailblazing Romance was mostly shitty and had huge plot holes, it had one thing going for it—the way the heroine and the prince fit together perfectly.

    Their loyalty, the build up from strangers to friends to then romantic partners—all of that had been unfairly adorable to read. And Aventurine may or may not have giggled a few times while reading those parts, but nobody had to know that.

    Summary

    It takes him longer than he’d like to realize, no, he’s not dreaming—he is in the middle of the woods, those are runes etched into the dirt beneath him, and yes, he is tied up like some sacrificial offering at the center of a ritual circle.

    It's times like these when he misses the desert.

    Or:

    Aventurine probably shouldn’t have stayed in this village.

    Summary

    The first time they meet, Aventurine sees the mark before he sees Ratio’s face. Eighteen elegant words scrawled in bold, black ink tracing the curve of Ratio's exposed deltoid like an invitation. Who is Aventurine to not take the obvious bait?

    “‘Does the conscious act of reading another's soulmark constitute as a defiance of fate or alignment with it?’” he reads aloud, lips twitching into a half-smile. “How befitting of a renowned scholar such as yourself. It’s very… unique.”

    Whatever Aventurine said seems to pass some unspoken test, because Ratio reaches up and removes his headpiece. "A paradox, self-contained and self-contradictory. One worth contemplation, wouldn’t you agree?" Ratio’s eyes, a brilliant shade of rusty gold, catch the light as he inclines his elegant head and extends his hand. "I am Veritas Ratio."

    “Aventurine of the Stratagems,” Aventurine answers, flashing a polished, professional smile as their hands clasp in a firm shake. “A pleasure to meet your acquaintance.”

    Or:

    In perhaps the greatest defiance of fate, Aventurine is given choice.

    Summary

    Aventurine runs his left hand through his hair in a futile attempt to calm his nerves, pacing back and forth in agitation. "But this is a hotel, and a high-end one at that. People pay to sleep here. Why would they jeopardize their reputation by offering a haunted hotel? It's absurd."

    Ratio finally releases the door handle and starts descending the stairs. "If you have any complaints, you can take them up with management," Ratio suggests as he waits for Aventurine to follow.

    Aventurine huffs. "Maybe I will."

    Or:

    Aventurine books them a hotel in the Luofu. It’s haunted, much to his dismay.

    "Well, aren't we just lucky to have stumbled upon the one hotel that has them all?"

    Or:

    Aventurine books them a hotel in the Luofu. It’s haunted, and Ratio suffers for it.
