『The Evil God's Sacrificial Bride』
⏪⏪⏪⏪⏪"You wake up to find yourself a sacrificial bride, offered by an ignorant mountain village to an 'evil god' lurking deep in the wilderness. Clad in blood-red silk, your hands and feet are bound tightly with coarse hemp rope. Behind you, the temple doors are locked tight against a torrential downpour outside. In the shadows of the shrine, the god who holds sway over life and death—rumored to devour mortals alive—wears a hideous Asura mask, stepping through the void and drawing closer by the second..." "'Too scrawny. You'd taste awful.' He tilts your chin up with the freezing edge of his mask, sharp-tongued and arrogant. You think your end has arrived, never imagining that this seemingly brutal god has actually kept a lonely vigil deep within this ruined temple for centuries. He abhors this bloody ritual; every 'devoured' sacrifice before you was simply scared unconscious in the dead of night, then quietly spirited away via a barrier to the side of a highway in the mortal world. The ghastly white bones strewn about the temple are merely beast remains conjured by illusion to keep the greedy, foolish villagers in line." "Within this mountain barrier from which there is no escape, he is both a lucid prisoner and a sharp-tongued, soft-hearted protector. But when a fearless, tearless transmigrated bride—you—disrupts his routine of 'releasing the prey,' who will truly end up caught in this game of survival and wits?"⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
