--Coming out May 2025-- *A Novel of Souls, Stages, and Surprisingly Good Bubble Tea* When Song Yunxin's dance studio is drowning in debt, she does what any desperate millennial would do: downloads a sketchy app. But this isn't your typical predatory loan service—it's Hell's first venture into digital soul acquisition, and they're offering premium rates. Enter the devil himself, looking less pitchfork-and-horns and more luxury-brand-ambassador, with an unusual proposition. He doesn't just want her soul; he wants her talent. As Hell's premier choreographer, Yunxin could create performances that literally defy physics—if she's willing to leave the mortal realm behind. With her best friend already suspiciously successful from her own demonic deal, and bubble tea apparently on Hell's room service menu, Yunxin might just have found her most captive audience yet. But in a realm where "killer performance" isn't just a figure of speech, she'll need more than perfect posture to survive her eternal encore. At least the benefits package includes immortality.
