071
Cast down by Heaven to learn human emotions, centuries-old tiger demon Mavis Hoover wakes reborn in a mortal body, branded a vicious stepmother. Her trial demands she become a virtuous wife and mother: fiercely protect her children, earn for the household, and root out traitors who threaten them. Each day forces a clash between her predatory instincts and the fragile bonds she must forge. Suspicion, sacrifice, and small domestic victories test her at every turn. As she navigates duty and guardedness, her sharp edges soften under children's trust and the steady presence of her husband, Leon Saul. What begins as punishment becomes a painful, passionate education in love and in what it costs to belong.
