Li Xinyi, whose name means "a heart filled with joy," is as beautiful as she is brilliant. A first-class civil engineering graduate, she earns a position at one of China's most prestigious construction companies and is assigned to history's most ambitious project—to build a bridge across the legendary Silent Sea. For centuries, every attempt to build across the sea has ended in disaster. The villagers who live along its shores refuse to speak of the ancient legend that has haunted them for generations. Their only warning is simple: "Stay away from the sea after sunset." Xinyi dismisses the stories as nothing more than superstition. Until a workplace accident changes everything. A cut across her wrist. A few drops of blood. A sudden earthquake. Before anyone can react, the sea rises and swallows her whole. Declared dead by the world above, Xinyi awakens in a magnificent kingdom hidden beneath the ocean, where she meets King Aurelius, an impossibly handsome ruler with snow-white hair and mesmerizing golden eyes. After three thousand years of imprisonment, the ancient king has finally opened his eyes. To his people, he is their god. To her, he is a stranger. To him... She is the woman who betrayed him. Lost in a realm where ancient traditions still thrive, unable to return home, Xinyi is forced to navigate a world that feels as unfamiliar as a forgotten dream. As she searches for a way back, she finds herself drawn to the very man who has sworn never to forgive her. But buried beneath hatred lies a love neither time nor death could erase. And hidden beneath the waves is a truth powerful enough to change the fate of both worlds. Adieu. A farewell. A curse. A love that refused to die.

Acht Jahre lang liebte Freya den falschen Alpha. Sie gab ihm ihren Körper, ihre Loyalität, ihre Seele – und als Gegenleistung küsste er sie mit dem Namen einer anderen auf den Lippen. Als sie ihn endlich verließ, glaubte sie, in Silvano, dem Alpha, der sie gerettet hatte, Frieden – und Liebe – gefunden zu haben. Doch Jahre später, an ihrem Geburtstag, empfing sie erneut Stille. „Bella“, flüsterte sie ihrer Tochter zu, „hast du Mamas Geburtstag vergessen?“ „Nicht jetzt, Mama. Ich mache ein Geschenk für Tante Aurora. Papa hat geholfen.“ Der Name traf sie wie eine sich wieder öffnende Wunde. Freya hatte es einst überlebt, ‚die andere Frau‘ zu sein. Jetzt hatte das Schicksal die Rollen vertauscht – und die Stille, die nächtlichen Abwesenheiten und die verpassten Anrufe fühlten sich nur allzu vertraut an. Als der Verrat erneut anklopft, muss sie sich entscheiden: sich noch einmal im Herzschmerz zu vergraben – oder aufzustehen, nicht für die Liebe, sondern für sich selbst. Wenn selbst dein Seelengefährte deinen Wert vergisst, wie oft musst du dann fortgehen, bevor du aufhörst zurückzukommen? Dieses Mal – vielleicht zum letzten Mal – wird sie nicht zurückblicken.

In meinem früheren Leben habe ich mich mit meinem Schicksalsgefährten, Alpha Byron, verbunden. Kurz darauf versuchte seine erste Liebe, Cassia, sich mit einer silberbeschichteten Klinge das Leben zu nehmen und entging nur knapp dem Tod. Diese Tragödie entfachte bei Byron ein Jahrzehnt des Hasses gegen mich. Ich war eine pflichtbewusste Luna und ertrug still seine kalte Gleichgültigkeit. Doch alles, was ich je von ihm erhielt, waren eisige Blicke. "Ich wünschte, du wärst es gewesen." Aber als Abtrünnige angriffen, fing er einen verfluchten Dolch ab, der für mich bestimmt war, und brach vor meinen Füßen zusammen. Als er sterbend in meinen Armen lag, nutzte er seine letzte Kraft, um meine tröstende Hand wegzustoßen. "Althea", flüsterte er, "wenn das Schicksal uns doch nur nie zusammengezwungen hätte..." Bei seiner Beerdigung waren die Älteste des Rudels untröstlich. "Byron, das ist alles unsere Schuld." "Wir hätten dich nicht zu einer Bindungszeremonie mit Althea zwingen sollen." "Wenn wir nur deinen Wunsch respektiert und dir erlaubt hätten, mit Cassia zusammen zu sein, wäre es vielleicht anders gekommen." Fast alle gaben mir die Schuld an seinem Tod. "Der Alpha hat dich dreimal gerettet. Er hat dir alles gegeben." "Warum bringst du ihm nur Unglück?" Jeder bereute es, meine Bindung mit Byron unterstützt zu haben. Sogar ich bereute es. Schließlich beendete ich unter großen Schmerzen mein eigenes Leben mit einem silbernen Dolch zu Füßen der Statue der Mondgöttin. Aber die Mondgöttin gab mir eine weitere Chance und erlaubte mir, vor unserer Bindungszeremonie wiedergeboren zu werden. Dieses Mal beschloss ich, ihm seinen Wunsch zu erfüllen und ihm das Glück zu gönnen, nach dem er sich sehnte.
