On Planet Miloa, a planet that allows its inhabitants to foresee their death, love is everything: celebrated, encouraged, and considered the most powerful force in the universe. But for Haoran Wu, love is death itself. His fate reads that the one he falls in love with will kill him, and the knowledge has turned him against love in all forms. He is made into an outcast, isolated in the labor zones where the “short-lived” based on fate are sent to work.
Mei Lin Sima hides a secret no one must ever know: she is the only Fatebinder on the planet, capable of rewriting destiny itself. Her fate is unreadable, even to herself. When she arrives at the work camps to earn a living, she meets Haoran - the man determined never to love, yet impossible to ignore.
Friendship blossoms into something dangerous, as Mei Lin realizes that Haoran’s fate is tied to hers in ways neither fully understands. Every laugh, every touch, every stolen glance risks his life—and yet, the closer they grow, the more irresistible love becomes.
As politics, fate, and the invisible threads of destiny collide, Mei Lin must decide: will she protect the one she loves, even if it means rewriting his fate forever? Or will the cost of love be too high, even for a Fatebinder?
A tale of forbidden affection, moral peril, and the extraordinary power of choice. To Love Is to Die asks the question: when destiny is deadly, is love worth the risk?
