SHOUJO

About a girl who one day meets a human and follows them to become smarter

About a villain who makes a person destroy the world

Mel Song is an unlikely fit for a crack investigator; in her downtime, she loves watching soap operas in her pajamas, eating instant ramen, and internet shopping. But she has one secret weapon: the ability to read minds.

Master sorcerers are rare. Fewer still deal with space and time. So when the empire comes for Eleanor, she escapes to the past with plans to befriend her still-living mother. But the past isn’t what she hoped—she can’t enroll in the academy, her mother is aloof, she’s at odds with the only person willing to help, and they’re also plotting to overthrow the throne. With no way to know what secrets she’ll uncover, at least one thing is clear: getting involved is the only way to keep her mom safe.

A reader is magically transported into a BL novel called The Night of Hwangseong. She now inhabits the body of Lobelia Flore, the daughter of a noble family suffering from a rare illness. Lobelia discovers the only way to avoid a painful death is to remain in close physical contact with Edric Dencart, the young, beautiful, and sickly crown prince. To do this, Lobelia disguises herself as a man named “Lobel” and commits herself to becoming the crown prince’s most trusted man-servant.
