Her Afterlife Belongs To Him: Falling for the Fallen
In the celestial bureaucracy of the High Court, order is not just a law—it is a physical constant maintained by Zoe Holiyos Liffender, the Sovereign. As the afterlife’s "Pillar of Purity," Zoe’s absolute emotional detachment keeps the nine realms from collapsing. He has never felt heat, never known desire, and never faced a soul he couldn't judge.
That changes with the arrival of Marianne Thornveil.
Known on Earth as the "Devil Killer," Marianne enters the afterlife not seeking mercy, but erasure. Haunted by a past of blood and political betrayal, she views love as a lethal weakness and seeks to escape the Sovereign’s judgment by tricking him into a scandal that will result in her total non-existence. However, her plan backfires when she awakens an obsessive, dormant humanity in Zoe. For the first time in eons, the Sovereign’s heart flutters—and the 2nd Paradi immediately fractures in a catastrophic earthquake.
As Zoe struggles to balance his divine duty with a mounting, terrifying obsession for Marianne, the High Court falls into paranoia. Sana, the most "perfect" and favored maid, spirals into a murderous jealousy. Seeing her status and her silent love for Zoe threatened, she aligns with Judge Malakor and the High Council. These divine bureaucrats, desperate to preserve the status quo, seek out a forbidden "Hatred Charm" from a dark magician. They are willing to mutilate their own bodies—sacrificing tongues and eyes as "The Price of Flesh"—to poison Zoe’s mind against Marianne.
Adding to the chaos is Vane, Zoe’s hedonistic brother and Governor of the 3rd Hello. A wildcard who feeds on the very bodily desires Zoe suppresses, Vane begins to pull strings from the shadows, hoping to seize the High Court once Zoe’s "Purity" finally shatters.
Meanwhile, on Earth, the spectral agents Gerry, Zippo, and Shetan untangle the mystery of Marianne’s mortal life. They discover that the "Devil Killer" was a title forged in lies, and the only person who can prove her innocence—a young boy named Cael—is clinging to life in an ICU.
The Sovereign’s Decay is a race against cosmic extinction. In a world where love is an act of war, the final judgment will decide if eternity is worth a life without heat.
