She was a legend who once tore up heavens and drowned kingdoms—then she was reborn in a cramped soldier’s house with a red-lotus mark on her brow and fire in her fists. Nobody welcomed the child called Nezha; they called her demon, cursed her as bad luck, locked her in the woodshed. Then Yang Chan found her on a cold street, gave her sugar, a bed, and the first person who ever treated her like someone instead of a threat. Nezha remembered only scattered sparks of a former life. Her instincts were volcanic: fight, burn, protect. Yang Chan’s presence was an island—soft, patient, and dangerously kind. When the Heavenly Court’s hunters and dragon princes arrive, Nezha proves she is more than rumor: she is a living storm. She will shred armies, butcher proud princes, and burn palaces to ash for the woman who saved her. This is the story of a reborn storm who learns what loyalty and love mean—and the people who learn that nothing soft survives long near a living fire. How far will she go to keep Yang Chan safe? And what will the world do when the storm chooses whom to burn?
