Su Ling was offered as a sacrifice to an evil god.
The sacrifice went perfectly, except she'd lost her memories.
After waking with no memories, Su Ling is horrified to find herself bound to a black altar, covered in wounds.
Blood pours from her wounds, rushing into the intricate formation carved into the ground through grooves in the altar.
Not far away stands a man with a cold expression, cloaked in darkness, yet carrying himself like a god.
Su Ling watches him walk slowly toward her through the blood on the floor, and she loses herself for a moment.
"Excuse me... are you here to kill me?"
"I'm here to take you home, my bride."
After the evil god Kerimis lost the one he loved, he fell into a slumber lasting thousands of years. With him asleep, there were no gods left in the world.
At last, one day, the evil god Kerimis was awakened from his endless darkness.
The one who woke him was the blood of the beloved he knew so well.
Enraged, the evil god razed the entire sacrificial site, and everyone there vanished in an instant.
Everyone except Su Ling.
The evil god held her tenderly in his arms and healed every wound.
"Why do you call me your bride?"
"Because we're already married."
#Being sacrificed means getting married, and completing the sacrifice means you're already married#
#The evil god's logic is sound and consistent, with absolutely nothing wrong with it#
Theme: Hope after despair.
