Emperor Kai wears the tyrant's crown like armor, but a hereditary blood curse rots him from within. The only cure demands Oracle Phoebe's life, so he spins a counterfeit marriage pact to drag her into the gilded cage of the palace. She arrives expecting a political pawn; he intends a ritual offering. Weeks of shared mornings and guarded nights shred the script. Kai finds himself memorizing her laugh instead of measuring her veins, while Phoebe sees the man trembling beneath the monster. The ritual deadline looms, immutable and hungry. To break the curse he must kill the only thing that makes survival worth anything. To keep her, he must accept the rot consuming his throne.
