ADITI_GHOSH
Adriti Roy grew up believing her life was something close to a fairy tale— a loving family, a safe home, and a father she trusted more than anyone. But fairy tales don’t always last. What once felt warm and complete slowly turns into something unfamiliar— a house filled with arguments, silence, and things no one wants to admit out loud. The people she once felt closest to begin to feel like strangers, and the word “home” loses its meaning. At just thirteen, Adriti finds herself standing in the middle of it all— trying to hold her little sister’s world together while her own quietly falls apart. Because when a fairy tale burns, it doesn’t disappear completely— it leaves behind ashes… and the people who have to learn how to live in them.

They say she has no fief and isn't a true noble? Hah! She makes money by day and reclaims land by night. While attending school, she's busy cultivating land. Soon, millions of square kilometers of fertile soil in the New World are all hers. She establishes her own country and ennobles herself! Finally, her identity is exposed by an old acquaintance. The Holy Church wants to put her on trial, presenting evidence that she's not a noble - they couldn't find her patent of nobility in the Mist Kingdom. Luo Wei: A noble title? Sorry, she indeed doesn't have one. Because she is the Empress Regnant of the Mist Kingdom!
