Slept with Hades, then ran away with his baby bump

Synopsis

Chloe is a poor Harvard student drowning in debt. To afford her education, she accumulated a huge amount of loans. Desperate to repay them, she becomes the target of a cruel scheme at a fraternity party, where the powerful son of the local real estate tycoon Sterling drugs and hunts her down. Trying to escape, she flees into an old castle and accidentally discovers Lucian, the mysterious Lord of the Shadow Realm, who is hiding there while recovering from severe injuries. Under the influence of the drug and a powerful aphrodisiac, Chloe loses control and spends a night with the weakened underworld god. Unexpectedly, she absorbs Lucian’s “energy crystal,” the source that sustains his divine power. After the chaotic night, Chloe escapes in panic. A year later, a deliberate car accident causes her to lose all her memories. She has no idea that during her unconscious period, she gave birth to a daughter who was secretly abandoned by her enemies in a cruel Louisiana foster care system. Now, Chloe’s father’s botanical garden is facing a hostile takeover by the Sterling family. Trapped between overwhelming debt and desperate circumstances, Chloe is forced into a marriage arrangement by Damon, who takes her away to marry his sister Lina’s fiancé. She is sent directly into the wedding chamber. Lucian, who has no interest in this arranged marriage, treats her with cold hostility. But the moment Lucian touches her, something awakens inside him—he suddenly remembers the night when Chloe stole his divine power and changed his destiny forever.
