Even villains have heart sand hers is one he Can't burn...
Pov Shou Feng...
She shouldn't matter.
She was supposed to be nothing—just another foolish girl who touched power she did not understand.
A mistake. A weakness. A problem to erase.
And yet…
every time she looks at him with those furious, terrified eyes, something in his chest tightens like a chain pulled too hard.
He should hate her.
He tries.to.
But when she stands in the fire, trembling and refusing to look away…
she is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Not delicate.
Not holy.
Not innocent.
A storm.
Wild. Terrifying. Unpredictable.
And Shou Feng—monster, villain, god of destruction—can feel the world burning beneath him, but his gaze never leaves her.
"I should destroy you."
His voice is low, dangerous.
"So why is the only thing I want… to protect you?"
For the first time in his life,
the villain is afraid.
Because he knows—
she is the one thing he cannot control.
The Villain doesn't Love —he shows OWNERSHIP...
