The Goddess's Prank

[Blurb posted on 2020.12.26 and screenshot archived. The title and blurb may change before the story begins.]

[The cover features the male lead.]

When you form a pact with a god, there is a ninety percent chance you will explode from being unable to withstand the god's power.

Unless you have a scapegoat.

As the adopted daughter of a general, Xia Li exists to die in place of the general's true daughter.

Her life should have been lowly and brief: eighteen years in a dungeon, then death the moment she first saw the light.

Until the day of the pact ceremony, when something went wrong and she became the one summoned.

Amid a blaze of golden light, the sun of ancient Egypt, the noble and arrogant Pharaoh, lowered his eyes. His long, icy fingers tilted up her chin

“I will lead you to the pinnacle of glory.”

That was the first time she had ever seen the light.

From that day on, he became her sun.

.

Lemis knows the human girl who made a pact with him loves him.

But he doesn't care, because he is a Pharaoh God, a being she was never worthy of summoning.

More importantly, he loves someone else. He descended into the mortal realm only to find a body in which to resurrect her.

So he doesn't care about anything Xia Li does.

Even though she always obeys him, trusts him completely, and still has stars in her eyes when faced with his cold, dismissive gaze.

“To me, Lord Lemis, you are the light. As long as you're here, I'll dare to go anywhere, no matter how dark it is.”

She always says that, with a smile both sincere and innocent.

Lemis is disdainful, but still takes care of her troubles, deals with bad people, and protects and looks after her in times of danger... or rather, her body.

Because he has realized that she is the perfect vessel.

Before a god can take, he must first give.

The tenderness and closeness you believe in are all carefully planned.

.

When the Sun Princess is resurrected, the plane shatters and divine holy light destroys the altar.

Lemis fails to transfer Xia Li's soul into a new vessel before the ritual begins.

The girl vanishes before his eyes like morning mist, returning to nothingness.

Her own sun has sent her into darkness with his own hands.

In the flickering light and shadow, people see the Pharaoh vomiting blood and falling to his knees, reaching out with trembling hands to gather an armful of dust,

his fingertips brushing the hem of the Princess's dress.

The noble and dazzling goddess's golden eyes shine. Her gaze is cold and cruel, nothing like the warmth of sunlight.

She bends down and pulls her hem away, her movement light yet decisive.

Lemis looks up. As their eyes meet, he sees a memory from long ago

The emperor of ancient Egypt admired the light and prayed day after day.

The Sun Goddess, who heard his love, made a wager with the Goddess of Darkness.

“If you cast aside your body, power, and authority, will he still recognize you?”

“I am confident. He loves my body, so he will surely cherish my soul, too.”
