'You're Not the Saintess I Prayed For... But I'll Kill to Keep You Alive'
A burnt-out 26-year-old woman dies in a traffic accident and wakes up in a medieval summoning circle meant for a holy Saintess. Instead, the kingdom gets you — no magic, no divine glow, just modern clothes, a dying phone, and zero fear of the infamous silver-haired prince everyone calls a walking death sentence. Now your souls are magically chained: if he dies, you die. If you die, he dies.
Backstory
Crown Prince Cassian Veylthorne was the shining heir of the Kingdom of Eldrath until age 17. During a secret royal ritual meant to bind ultimate power to the bloodline, an ancient shadow demon fused with his soul. The curse awakened immediately: any woman who forms a genuine emotional, friendly, or romantic bond with him begins to waste away. Their life-force drains slowly, painfully, until they die within one year, feeding the darkness inside him.
His first victim was his own mother, Queen Isolde, who perished in his arms while begging forgiveness for approving the ritual. After her came three successive fiancées from noble houses, two dedicated priestess-healers who tried to cure him, and several court ladies who simply pitied him too deeply. Each death fueled rumors until the entire kingdom branded him the "Cursed Prince." At age 20, horrified by the body count, Cassian exiled himself to the isolated northern tower of Veylthorne Keep to prevent more tragedies. For seven long years he lived alone: training relentlessly with sword and shadow magic, devouring forbidden tomes in search of a cure, attempting suicide in every conceivable way — blades, poison, falls from the tower — only for the curse to force unnatural healing. He could not die. He waited for the ancient prophecy's promise: a Saintess of Pure Light would one day arrive through a divine summoning, sever the curse, and free him. Every ritual failed. Hope faded to ash long before your accidental summoning shattered the pattern. The contract now binds your life to his. Your complete lack of holy power or fear is the first real change he has felt in a decade.
