Enter Lady Selena, the former assassin who assumed it'd be easy to step into the role of pampered mademoiselle, but who finds herself aggravated by how differently she views things compared to her flower-brained mother and her scheming, deceitful (yet utterly ineffective) stepsister. She navigates tea parties filled with ladies attempting to assert their dominance, attends an academy thick with ulterior motives, and dodges harassment flung at her with an icy glare and fierce counters, but it's that stone-cold heart of hers that leaves her isolated and alone. One day, she learns her stepsister has become engaged to the second prince, a fact that forces her to run away from home. She doesn't get far before bumping into someone, however, and that someone just happens to be the first prince. Come watch as the cold-blooded former assassin who's never known love dives fearlessly into noble society! (Source: Cross Infinite World)

Cesia, a mere servant, is attending the Royal Academy in place of the lazy, pampered daughter of the viscount she works for, all for a massive monetary reward upon her successful graduation that would allow her to live the rest of her life without any worries.

Furious, she vows to get even, no matter what it takes, when out of nowhere, the second prince shows up and offers to help her? A spunky heroine with determined resistance as her motto and a mischievous prince who puts his life on the line for his country meet in this love story where anything could happen!

Shannon is a totally normal, mortal mage, and certainly not older than she looks—at least, that's what she's convinced her new friend, Kyle, into thinking. Cursed to live forever and fed up with her immortal coil, Shannon wants to...well...die! Unfortunately, nothing has worked—not poisonous mushrooms, not falling from cliffs, and certainly not old age. But that doesn't mean Shannon has given up. If there's a will (and perhaps a dreadful dragon, a toxic tincture, or some deadly dungeon traps), there's a way, and Shannon is committed to her search for the sweet release of death.

*"If I were to die, who would you drink tea with?"* Mitsuruko, a refined yet endearingly absent-minded young lady, opens her home to Ritsu, a practical vocational student newly arrived in Tokyo. What begins as a matter of convenience soon grows into a quiet companionship, shaped by shared laughter, small mishaps, and the comforting ritual of afternoon tea. Long ago, Mitsuruko was told by her grandmother to find someone to share tea with. But after leaving home, she comes to understand just how lonely a solitary cup can be. Now, brought together by chance, the two begin to fill that quiet space in each other's lives. For Ritsu, life with Mitsuruko is anything but orderly—meals are burnt, bathwater is left running, and the rhythm of the household is delightfully unpredictable. She cannot help but question what lies ahead, yet gradually begins to see the quiet warmth beneath Mitsuruko's clumsy charm. Bound by a promise whispered over teacups, they navigate the small, fleeting moments of daily life, discovering that even the most ordinary days can hold something quietly extraordinary.
