Summary
Silvia’s greatest wish isn’t to live, but to finally embrace a natural death. Trapped by a divine curse, her only escape lies in a desperate gamble: a strategic marriage designed to fool the gods themselves. To succeed, she must convincingly portray a loving wife, a role she’s ill-equipped for, especially with a husband as perplexing as Randal.
“Shall we turn off the lights then?” she suggests, attempting to fulfill the ‘duties’ of a newlywed.
“Why would we…?” he responds, utterly bewildered.
“Don’t we have to consummate our marriage on the first night?” she presses, exasperated.
“Why is that necessary?” he counters, his innocence baffling her.
Silvia, who yearns for the sweet release of oblivion, finds herself entangled with Randal, a man whose conflicting emotions hide a deeper struggle. What begins as a cynical pact to cheat fate slowly blossoms into an unexpected, tender healing romance. Will Silvia find a reason to live before she finds her longed-for death? Dive into chapter 1 to uncover their unique journey.
