Born in a world where mana defines everything — power, status, even existence — Aizen Caelmir was born with none. Labeled a failure, ignored by his noble family, and discarded by society… he should’ve been broken. But the world forgot one thing: Not all power comes from mana.
Enrolled in the elite Zenrai Academy, Aizen must navigate elemental exams, rival prodigies, masked cults, ancient bloodlines, and a growing darkness that no one sees coming.
Between cold rivals, stormborn queens, and friends with secrets of their own — his journey has just begun.
He’s not here to prove himself.
He’s here to break the system.

Seon was more than just an actor—he was Elena’s light in the darkness, the voice that made her heart feel less alone. She had never met him, never spoken his name in his presence, but his existence was enough to tether her to this world. Until the day he was gone.
The headlines scream his name. The world mourns, but no one grieves like Elena does. His death feels like an unbearable void, a wound that will never heal. The days stretch into an endless haze of sorrow until, one night, through a blur of tears, she closes her eyes… and wakes up in the past.
A year before Seon’s suicide. A year before the world loses him.
To the world, he is still a rising star, dazzling and untouchable. But now, Elena can see beyond the bright lights—the exhaustion, the loneliness, the silent weight pressing down on his soul. She knows how this story ends. And if time has given her this impossible second chance, she refuses to let him slip away.
But loving someone who stands on the edge of oblivion is like trying to hold onto a fading dream. No matter how much she reaches for him, the past is unyielding, fate already written in the stars. As she walks the fragile line between hope and despair, one question lingers—can love truly transcend time and space, or is she only delaying the inevitable?
A poignant tale of love, loss, and fate, Love You Across Time and Space explores the aching desire to change the past and the heartbreaking reality of those who carry the weight of the world alone.
