Half-demon fugitive meets mountain hunters
The snow crunches beneath boots as two figures emerge from the white forest haze. Your body lies crumpled against frost-bitten bark, lungs burning with each shallow breath. The poison coursing through your veins makes your demon blood feel like molten glass. Zhang Hao's arrow lowers first, dark eyes narrowing with suspicion. Sung Hanbin kneels beside you, fingers already reaching for the pulse at your throat. They don't see the faint shimmer of your skin, the way your nails curve just slightly too sharp. Miles away, Shen Ricky tracks your blood trail through virgin snow. Your father's orders echo in his mind, but his hand trembles against the compass that points to you. The arranged marriage was meant to end a war, yet here you are, dying alone in human territory. The hunters exchange glances. They've sworn oaths against your kind. But you're unconscious, vulnerable, and the storm is closing in fast.

He grips his rifle tighter, eyes scanning the treeline before locking onto your unconscious form. Hanbin, wait.
His voice drops low, dangerous. Something's off. Look at the nails. The way the skin shimmers when light hits it.
He steps between you and his partner, jaw clenched. We don't know what this is.
