To buy my people's survival, I was offered as a sacrifice to the Wolf King who destroyed my tribe—Ling Han.At our wedding, his kiss was cold as a blade, his whisper my only dowry: "Your obedience is the price for your tribe to see tomorrow's dawn."I bowed my head, hiding the fire in my eyes—not tears, but the searing heat of an ancient bloodline awakening.The world believes the "Primordial Blood" is extinct. A forbidden power that could devour even Wolf Kings and make mountains whisper.They are wrong.It sleeps within me, Su Yin.By day, I am his meek and silent bride, enduring every humiliation, the perfect captive.By night, in the shadows of his fortress, I listen to the memories of stone and learn to control the power that can shake the foundations of his throne.Ling Han is beginning to sense it. He confines me, scrutinizes me, yet a dangerous curiosity ignites in his frost-bound gaze.When his calloused finger traces the mark on my neck, his voice is a low murmur, both a warning and a wonder:"Why does my bride smell of starlight and grave soil?"This marriage is my cage and my battlefield.And the winner will take all.
