An Empyrean Love Story

She was never meant to be his bride—just a stand-in, a desperate decoy for the sister who vanished on the day of her wedding to Lord Yu, the merciless ruler of the Five Empyrean States. A man whispered about in fearful reverence, a sovereign with a heart colder than steel and beauty so cruelly divine, they called him the devil cloaked in silk.



But as the ceremony ends and days pass, it becomes clear—her sister is not coming back. She is no longer a placeholder. She is his wife. And with that title comes a throne of thorns: the weight of court politics, the gaze of enemies, and the looming shadow of a man whose touch commands nations and whose temper could shatter her world.



Yet in the quiet between his fury and silence, she begins to see the man beneath the crown. And in the heart of the devil, she discovers a dangerous kind of love—one that could ruin her, or remake her entirely.
