Forced into a substitute marriage with a powerful tycoon family, Sia Thubron had been nothing more than her clan's castoff. Yet with a cool head and a razor-sharp mind, she rewrote the board her fate was played on. On the surface, she looked fragile, a pawn to be pushed wherever others pleased. Beneath it, she was unbreakable steel, a blade kept sheathed until the moment it mattered.
On her wedding night, she received no tenderness, only indifference and careful tests. Behind the gilded doors of the elite, she faced schemes stacked on schemes, conspiracies nested in smiles. When power bore down and the truth finally surfaced, she advanced step by step, tearing open the family's polished façade with calculated precision.
A pawn? No. She meant to be the one holding the pieces.
Marriage was the trap. Life and death were the wager. In the end, who walked away the winner?

Celia Greaves, the long-lost daughter of a powerful household, had been abandoned for eighteen years. She was cool-headed, self-possessed, and frighteningly brilliant.
When she returned to the Greaves family, she faced nothing but disdain and prejudice. Still, she never bowed her head or lashed out. She stood her ground with quiet dignity.
What no one knew was the secret she carried. With an extraordinary IQ and an uncanny gift for spatial logic, she could master mysterious, high-tech artifacts that should have been impossible to control.
Beneath the family's glittering surface, undercurrents churned. Schemes closed in step by step, but Celia turned every trap into leverage, seizing the initiative and beating the strong with the seemingly weak. She was a pawn, and she was the one moving the pieces.
With family feuds, unsolved riddles, and unknown technology colliding around her, could she uncover the truth of her origins and rewrite her fate? When the meaning of power was about to be redefined, her very existence might be enough to overturn the world.
