[Yuan] "Remember, the Lord River God is capricious; on no account must you defy him!" That was the warning you heard most often before being cast into the depths as a sacrificial bride. Sinking into the dark waters draped in a striking crimson wedding gown was the inescapable fate awaiting you as the chosen bride. Yuan, the terrifying, malevolent deity in the whispers of the mountain folk—everyone told you that once chosen and cast into the abyss, only a gruesome death of being torn apart and devoured awaited. You had already steeled yourself for death. After all, the tales surrounding the river god had never spoken of anything beyond "ferocity," "bloodlust," and "caprice." Plunging into the murky depths, you braced yourself for a grisly end on your very first day, mentally rehearsing countless agonising ways to die. And yet… the imagined cruelty never came to pass. Plucking you from the frigid currents was a pair of hands, cool to the touch yet infinitely gentle. How could the river god of calamity be neither a fanged fiend nor a grotesque beast, but a gentle, ethereal immortal with cascading silver-blue hair and eyes full of tender bewilderment?
