After Zixin's affairs with various men are brought to light, his parents arrange for him to marry an angel from Aeyaviel, Lindie. There's just one problem: Zixin hates her. His parents' expectations of producing an heir to carry on their family's legacy forces him to butt heads with his father, leading him to consider abdicating the throne to avoid marrying her. But tensions rise in the Dark Court, pressuring him to accept the marriage to protect Wuzhen.

When he receives a forged letter, he seizes the opportunity to find the person who would dare to forge the Emperor's seal. While he expects to find a worthy opponent, instead he finds himself trapped in a scheme concocted by a pair of infamous kitsune. And what awaits for him is a mysterious labyrinth with an appealing scent.

Guided by the kitsune, he finds his mate, Hirayama Sosuke, who has been cursed by the Seven Deadly Sins to live in exile for the remainder of his life. They struggle to accept each other, knowing they come from two different worlds. However, Zixin lends his help to the trio, settling for never seeing Sosuke again after they've foiled the Dark Court's plans. But first, he must break Sosuke's curse and the only way to break the spell is to hunt down every Sin, re-seal them in the hearts of the Seven Virtues, and kill them.

Notes: Y/N will be depicted as female and Crowley will be depicted as male. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes. I drew and designed the cover. Thank you to @bookdork_ and @fusciamtndew for introducing me to Good Omens and for being references for Y/N's parents. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you ever seen the yin yang? The two swirls intertwining, yet never blending? Somehow, it's so tranquilizing, so beautiful. Polar opposites working together to create harmony and beauty. There is no grey line, there is no mixture, there just is. Yin cannot be without yang, and yang cannot be without yin. Whether a universe... or a person. Enter Y/N L/N. She's troubled by a haunted past, old ghosts dragging her back. Striving to outrun memories, she moves to London with a scholarship to Queen Mary University. Rapidly running out of luck, she stumbles upon an old bookshop, the only peaceful place in the entire city. You already know who owns it... Don't you? Sacrifice and loss, disappointment and regret. Growth and rebirth, kindness and love. It all balances out. Something lost, something gained. Will Y/N and her two slightly suspicious new friends make it out unscathed? Doubtful. But what's a story without pain?

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐎𝐍𝐄 - 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 This book only has 7 chapters available because this book is now available FOR FREE on kindle unlimited!! ----- 𝐃𝐘𝐋𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐒 I messed up - I messed up in typical Dylan fashion because I could never stand up to my Dad, I just couldn't be the Alpha that I was meant to be, that my older brother would have been proud of. Instead I was the Alpha that locked his mate away for a crime that I didn't even know if he actually committed, I thought about rejecting him because he was a man and I'm not gay and I refused to give into the bond and love him back. I felt insecure around Raiden because he's a feline. I was insecure because he's stronger, faster, more dominant and I hated how much my body gave into him - how much my body wanted to submit to him because I'm an Alpha and Alphas don't submit. So I caved and I tainted our bond, I hurt him beyond repair and when I just couldn't deny the bond anymore, I found out just how hard it would actually be to gain his trust back - to get him to want me again. Our bond ended with my mistake but our story began with my redemption. ----- Original had 80 chapters Original started - 9 | 4 | 2022 Original completed - 10 | 20 | 2022 Rewrite will have 100 chapters Rewrite started - 4 | 29 | 2023 Will be completed - 12 | 31 | 2023 #1 FELINE #1 LEOPARD #1 INTERNALCONFLICT #1 INTERNALSTRUGGLE #2 LOVE #3 ALPHA #3 STORY #3 MATEBOND #3 THEWATTYS #8 MXM #9 REDEMPTION
