Severed Ties: The divorce was just the beginning.
Updated at Jul 10, 2026, 11:19
Scarlett Reinhard was the most pathetic woman in the Eastern Empire. A desperate Empress who spent three years begging for her husband's attention while he openly favored his mistress. Until the night she died. A modern corporate negotiator wakes up in Scarlett's body at the worst possible moment. Wine is dripping down her face. The Emperor is demanding she apologize to his mistress. The entire court is waiting for her to break. She doesn't break. She tears off her wedding sleeve, slaps divorce papers on the banquet table, and walks out into the night. But the palace holds ancient secrets. A forgotten god sealed beneath the marble floors. And Scarlett's rejection of her marriage has shattered the seal. Now she's bonded to Malakor, the God of the Abyss. The Holy Church wants her burned at the stake. Her corrupt family wants her silenced. And the Emperor who ignored her for three years is suddenly desperate to keep her by his side. Too late. Scarlett isn't interested in reconciliation. She's interested in building an empire of her own. Using her modern business acumen and Malakor's dark power, she transforms bankrupt mines into a trade empire, exposes the Church's corruption, and dismantles the very system that tried to destroy her. The divorce was just the beginning. The world wanted her broken. They have no idea what they created.
