Beneath the deep sea, he is my cage and my salvat…

I was offered as a sacrifice by my family and rowed alone into the deep sea. It was a voyage to certain death, and everyone believed the Sirens were nothing but bloodthirsty monsters. The moment my small boat capsized, I saw him—the Lord of the Sea, whose golden eyes pierced through the darkness shrouded by death. He should have devoured me, but he said I had once saved his tail fin. Fate, like an invisible thread, entwined two outcasts from different worlds. His domain is cold as a tomb in deep winter, yet his gaze burns hot enough to scorch the soul.
