A time rift ages the world ten years while Luna stays young, reuniting her with the boy she saved, now a cursed emperor.
Low-born Luna rescues a dying boy, Ragnar, only to be caught in a time rift where ten days consume ten years of her life. She emerges physically unchanged to discover the child now rules an empire and has spent the decade searching for her. A curse binds the emperor: every surge of affection for Luna carves years from his lifespan. To preserve him, she walks away. He counters that he would rather die than lose her again, setting up a clash between self-sacrifice and stubborn devotion with a single cure and a wedding hanging in the balance.
