• SUMMARY •
When a courtesan named Yume is offered to Ryomen Sukuna as a ceremonial tribute, survival after his acceptance demands only one thing of her: endurance.
Within the shrine of a monstrous lord, fear is law, obedience is survival, and mercy is never given freely. Sukuna’s attention is cruel, intimate, and impossible to escape.
But what begins as captivity becomes something far more dangerous—a bond shaped by power, hunger, fascination, and the slow corruption of longing, teased and denied.
But in a world where being wanted can be as terrible as being condemned, Yume must learn the cost of being spared.

I don’t know what facts you want but here is some uselessish facts:
1. One of my pet peeves is when people call me Adriana (Ariana is my name)
2. Once, while practicing for softball, I threw a perfect pitch…and it accidently went straight at my brother’s mouth. (He was like 5 at the time….)
3. The very first sim I ever created was named Galatea 2.0. She was an alien. And in every sim game I play, I always recreate her.
4. I’m an asthmatic.
5. I have a tattoo on my left shoulder that reads “All the magic I have known I’ve had to make myself.” (It’s an slightly modified quote from Shel Silverstein’s poem “Magic.”)
6. At 23, I still have never had an official first kiss despite having had several almost/accidental kisses.
7. The first international/exotic country I ever visited was Canada [which was this year.]
8. At a Gabriel Iglesias comedy show, I sat next to Rick Gutierrez and shared altoids with him. (SOOOO AWESOME XD)
9. At the Walgreens where I worked, I ran in to Dr. Oz several times when he came in to film his commercials. He thinks no one saw him but my coworker and I saw him change his pants in his blacked out suburban. (The door was ajar)
