Eclipsed by Fate

Venus : She is a 20-year-old college girl with a quiet, introverted nature. She doesn't talk much or go out often, preferring the company of books over people. A brilliant and bookish girl, she finds solace in fantasy novels, especially those filled with love and magic. Standing at 5'3", Venus possesses an ethereal beauty-delicate, breathtaking, and untouched by the world's cruelty. Her innocence shines through in her kind heart, for she could never bring herself to hurt a soul.Though she lives alone for her studies, she remains deeply connected to her family. Despite her reserved demeanor, there's a quiet warmth to her presence, a gentleness that makes those around her feel safe. Unbeknownst to her, she carries the soul of Cassie, a past life that lingers like a forgotten melody, waiting to resurface.

Legends spoke of a love so strong it defied death itself. She thought it was just a myth-until she visits the ruins of a mansion and unknowingly releases the demon who has waited centuries for her return.

Azrial - The Cursed Death Demon

Once a feared enforcer of hell, Azrial broke the sacred laws for a mere human girl, Cassie. For his betrayal, he was cursed, bound to the mansion he once built for her, unable to leave, unable to die. But even that was not enough .His memories was taken. The mansion itself was sealed inside a mirror, an eternal cage where time stood still, leaving him trapped in endless solitude.

His true form is terrifying-towering and powerful, with ashen gray skin cracked with molten gold, glowing crimson eyes, jagged horns, and massive tattered wings. Shadows coil around him, whispering his eternal punishment, while his voice carries the echoes of the damned.

On Earth, he takes the form Cassie once imagined-an impossibly handsome man, six feet tall with emerald-green eyes, dark tousled hair, and a strong yet graceful build. His golden-toned skin radiates warmth, his presence both commanding and intoxicating. Every detail of this form was shaped by Cassie's desires but he had no memories o, yet beneath his flawless exterior, the demon still lingers-cursed, restless, and forever haunted by the love that doomed him.

He was waiting for someone to come and break the curse, but even that wouldn’t grant him complete freedom. Whoever released him, he would be bound to serve them, granting their wishes—until the day they died.

For years, the mirror sat in an ancient shop, admired for its beauty and sold quickly. But within a week, it always returned. Every owner heard whispers at night, saw shadows in the glass, and felt an eerie presence watching them. Azrial, the trapped entity, tried to lure them in, desperate for freedom, but fear always won. Terrified, they brought the mirror back, and the cycle continued.

Gabriel - The Vengeful Shadow

Once Azrial's brother, now his greatest enemy, Gabriel was slain by Azrial for standing against his forbidden love. But death did not claim him-he became an evil spirit, a shadow cursed to forever keep Cassie from Azrial. For centuries, he ended her reincarnations before she could return to him.

Now, as Cassie lives again as Venus, Gabriel walks beside her in human form, hiding behind the guise of her best friend named Lion. But for the first time, instead of taking her life, he finds himself falling for her. Torn between love and vengeance, he must decide-protect her or destroy her once more.

What would happen if Venus came across this mirror and brought it home? Would she unknowingly release the demon trapped inside?

As Venus is pulled between two forces-one claiming to be her past, the other shaping her present-she must uncover the truth buried within her soul. But is love strong enough to defy fate once again? And when demons and shadows whisper promises in the night, who will she choose-the one who lost her, or the one who refuses to let her go?
