Ashes of Love

The Yukishiro clan's name was once carved into the bedrock of Seireitei's nobility, but now it rots in shadow. Whispers of treason and forbidden blood-experiments hang over their estate, drawing the unblinking gaze of the Gotei 13. When cornered, her family makes a brutal, effortless sacrifice: they toss Natsuki away. Marked, scarred, and dismissed by her own blood as a useless nobody, she is handed over to Lieutenant Shuuhei Hisagi as a cold token of submission.

Locked away under strict guard, Natsuki is meant to be nothing more than a prisoner-a hostage to appease the law. But while the world treats her as a pawn, her family frantically unearths ancient, forbidden scrolls in the dark. They realize too late that the discarded girl is not ordinary. She is the very key to the chaos they crave, the spark needed to burn the Seireitei to ash. To wrench her back, they weave a desperate, high-society trap, binding her to a fate far worse than captivity.

Duty commands Shuuhei to look at her and see a traitor's shadow. Instead, he finds a quiet, bleeding grace that shatters his armor piece by piece. Caught in an agonizing war between his absolute loyalty to the Gotei 13 and a love that defies every law of heaven and earth, Shuuhei is forced to watch as the world closes in around them.

A tale of forbidden romance.

She was thrown away to save a dying dynasty. He will risk his soul to save her from the ruins.
