After being torn from the only life she knew, 16-year-old Margo is forced into a new home with strangers who call themselves her parents. Haunted by memories of her past and consumed by feelings of isolation, she struggles to adapt to her unfamiliar surroundings. School offers little relief—until she meets Lucien, a mysterious boy who appears just when she needs a friend the most.Gabriel is everything Margo needs: kind, attentive, and always ready to whisk her away from her troubles. Each night, he invites her to secret places—an abandoned playground, a fog-choked garden, a crumbling train station at the edge of town—each more unsettling than the last. Yet with every chilling rendezvous, Margo feels more alive... more seen.But something isn’t right. Gabriel never comes to school during the day. Her adoptive parents never see him. And when they catch her talking to thin air, their concern deepens into fear. They say Gabriel isn't real—that he’s a figment of her imagination. Margo wants to believe them, but Gabriel feels real. More real than anything else in her life.As the nights grow colder and more twisted, Gabriel’s true nature begins to surface. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. Time warps in his presence. And the places they visit seem to echo with whispers from another world. Margo is forced to ask herself: Who—or what—is Gabriel? Why does he only want her? And what will happen on the final night he asks her to come with him?As the line between reality and delusion begins to crumble, Margo must make an impossible choice: stay in a world where she feels loved, or return to one that barely feels real.But one thing is certain—some friendships never let go.

Did I not tell you to stop causing trouble?!”A Courageous Lion, descended from the bloodline of a hero.“Uh, no matter what, this seems like a bit much, no? Huh? Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger? Um, Sir Knight? Sir Knight!?”A Scarecrow, sealed away for pursuing the taboo.“Despite appearances, I’m quite capable from the shoulders up.

Mu Qingyun, the number one husband in the capital, was reborn, leaping across the modern age and directly reborn into the interstellar space.

The fate of the beginning is tragic. As a real princess, she has been occupied by a fake princess for many years. In the end, her parents who gave birth to her still look down on her, saying that they should not come back and lose the face of the royal family?

Participated in the military academy wilderness trial, but was scolded by the entire Internet for contradicting the princess on the first day.

In this regard, Mu Qingyun expressed disdain. The fire ability in the right hand rioted with the unique plant ability in the left hand, killing on the island, protecting teammates in the ruins, and spiritual power first, which turned the situation in one fell swoop and completely became popular all over the world.

One day, Mu Qingyun accidentally did not protect the vest.

Netizens have fried the pot one after another!

what! This junk star is so strong, it is still a double ability!

what! This handsome guy is actually a girl!

what! It turns out that she is the real princess of the empire!

At this time, Mu Qingyun looked at the man who had been pretending to be weak in front of her with a sneer. The first commander of the military academy was actually a “weak chicken” in our team.
