Description
In a luminous age when gods walk openly across the three realms, Death—cruelly bound to collect souls on schedule—finds his fate interrupted when he comes for Rujia, the healing god he is destined to kill. Offered a chance to lift a century-old curse, Death accepts Rujia’s bargain, only to discover that her “nobility” is a mask for survival, and that the price of buying time may be the collapse of the Celestial Palace itself. As a missing crown prince and a widening catastrophe draw the wrath of the other gods, Rujia and Death must cross realms, confront escalating disasters, and decide what they’re willing to sacrifice to restore balance. Blending lush historical fantasy with morally charged romance and high-stakes mythic intrigue, this novel explores fate versus choice, the cost of power, and the thin line between mercy and control—told in Ann Liang’s signature style of sweeping worldbuilding and emotionally intimate tension.
