Soulbound by Blood

He is the Third Prince of the Ten-Thousand-Eon Heavens, unruly and aloof, with his origins buried in obscurity.

She is a feisty, playful little demon from the lower realm, with blood that carries an unusual fragrance.

He is an ancient deity who has lived for millions of years, yet painstakingly concealed himself by her side.

"My body is in purgatory, my heart in the deepest hell. I no longer know what love or hate means." She drags her broken body to her knees before the ancient divine ruins.

"But you lived for him and died for him. How could you ever have escaped?" A skeleton exposes the truth with a single sentence.

After love, hate, and years of torment, only then do they realize that the beginning and ending of their fate were both a mistake...

One glance beneath the peach blossoms that year lasted a thousand years. If she had known how things would turn out, would she still have followed him without hesitation?

"I would have. After all, I loved him so much." She smiles, eyes sparkling.

As the seas change and the world flashes by like a white colt glimpsed through a crack, if he had known that his love would destroy her, would he still have taken her away without a second thought?

"I would have. After all, whenever I see a tear fall from her eye, I want to cradle it in my hands." His eyes curve into a smile.

Happy ending. The male lead is scheming and devoted; the female lead is feisty and playful. A sweet yet angsty romance.
