Rule #1 of being a museum intern: Don't buy suspicious jewelry from the clearance bin.
Rule #2: DEFINITELY don't accidentally bind yourself to a god with said bargain.
One minute, I'm pricing jade bangles at the gift shop. The next, I'm standing in a palace made of moonlight, face-to-face with the God of the Underworld - Kai. He's exactly as the legends warn: lethal, secretive, and, unfortunately for my sanity, gorgeous enough to make even death look good.
But we've got bigger problems than inconvenient attraction. The bangle I "borrowed"? It's his missing divine artifact. Without it, he's fading from existence - and now we're soul-bound. If we don't find the legendary Jade Emperor's Seal before the lunar eclipse, I'll be trapped in his realm forever.
Three months to:
✓ Navigate treacherous celestial realms
✓ Survive deadly trials
✓ Resist falling for an immortal
✓ Try not to die (or worse, fall in love)
Simple, right?
But as we dive deeper into divine politics and ancient betrayals, I'm starting to see the truth: the real danger isn't the bond pulling us together - it's the way my very mortal heart races every time he looks at me like I'm the sun in his eternal darkness.
