The Husband She Took for Granted
63 EP
Cast aside by her grasping aunt, impoverished noble orphan Nyra becomes the seventy-ninth bride surrendered to the terrifying snake god Apophis. Afflicted by an ancient venom that freezes his blood, the immortal predator consumed every maiden preceding her, yet Nyra's innate bodily warmth uniquely alleviates his agony. When their three-month pact draws to a close, Nyra tries to escape, only to be cornered by deadly killers until Apophis intervenes to rescue her. Deeply touched by his desperate loyalty, she offers herself to comfort his chills. But when his venomous fangs graze her throat, the deity hesitates in agony, terrified that satisfying his instincts will destroy the woman who captured his heart.
