The Aurelius, the Empire’s leading expedition airship, sets out to chart the frontier—where the last crew disappeared without a trace. Soren Eryndor, a quiet memoirist assigned to record the journey, expects routine observation. Instead, his notes begin to shift when reread. Footsteps echo on empty decks. Tension builds beneath the crew’s steady smiles. When the first crew member vanishes—silent, bloodless, impossible—Soren realizes something is watching their expedition. Ahead lies the ruin tied to the previous mission’s fate. Beside him stands Captain Atticus Riven—precise, unreadable, and carrying orders Soren isn’t meant to know. As the Aurelius drifts deeper into the frontier, Soren’s memoir becomes the only record of the truth. Because whatever is erasing the crew… may erase the memory of them next. ||||A slowburn BL steampunk mystery about the fragile lines between memory, reality, and the people who keep us anchored.|||| Author’s Note: This story is built from my own original plot, world, and characters. I draft and revise the chapters myself, with the help of AI-assisted writing tools for structure and speed. All final edits and creative decisions are mine.

Yu Xiao believed death was the end—until she awakened in another world as Feng Xiaotian, a feared sovereign erased from history and bound to the legendary Primordial Fire Phoenix. With no memories of this body’s past, she is hurled into ancient feuds, celestial conspiracies, and a demon king’s prophecy that has shaped the fate of the realms for tens of thousands of years. Enemies hunt her for a power she cannot yet command. Followers kneel before a ruler she does not remember being. And then there is Long Jianyu—the stoic Azure Heaven Sovereign, once the Young Master of the Blue Flames Pavilion, bearer of the last pure dragon bloodline… and the man cursed by An Chi through an unbreakable geas. Their fates were bound long before this lifetime—by phoenix fire and azure dragon blood, by genocide, prophecy, and a curse that turns love itself into a forbidden risk. Drawn together by destiny neither of them chose, their bond is as dangerous as it is irresistible. As sealed wars awaken and forgotten bloodlines rise, Yu Xiao must decide whether to sever fate itself… or burn with the man the heavens once tried to destroy. In a world ruled by fire, dragons, and divine curse, their love may be the only force that can shatter fate— or the final trigger that plunges all realms into ruin.

*Synopsis* In a world where the old gods have quietly slipped away, humanity is left to grapple with a sudden emptiness that once pulsed with myth and miracle. The story follows a handful of characters—each a modern “seeker”—as they navigate a landscape stripped of divine intervention. Without celestial guidance, they must confront moral dilemmas, forge new rituals, and discover that the spark of the divine may reside within ordinary acts of love, sacrifice, and rebellion. As the old heavens fade, the narrative explores how belief reshapes reality, and whether a god‑less world can still hold wonder.
