Bride of the Water God, Volume 1 by Mi-Kyung Yun

I wasn't aware until now how weak Habaek (as opposed to his Mui self) is, that is important in this part of the story. Nakbin continues to be her atrocious self but Yohee is proving to be the best friend a bride could ask for.

I don't know what I expected for her, she was in a strange position but it worked for a court. I honestly didn't think that Mura would get a love interest. The intention of that relationship potential is not subtle either, posing and style directly match what was done with the main couple. Biryeom has a brilliant character design, all mystery and feathery wings. As longer history as Mura has with Habaek. Bang Cheon-Goon 'Biryeom', God of the Wind. If you cross the line, woman, you will not be forgiven. Trifling with her and complicating things further will annoy me, which will only bring about my wrath.

Will this be the volume in which the Water God finally spills the truth to Soah - or will other conspiring, jealous gods succeed in driving a permanent wedge between him and his human bride? Cursed and pursued by an unknown, shape-shifting tormentor, Habaek is also led to believe that his previous human bride is still alive! Trying to keep this strange secret from Soah, he hides behind the fake identity of 'Mui' at night, when he competes with other unusual gods for her attention. While Habaek yearns to treat Soah as a proper husband would, he's cursed to live in the form of a little boy during the day, only reverting to his true adult self at night. Once there, she met moody gods of the elements and a mysterious husband who took her as his bride - but then spurned her. However, she wasn't killed by the powerful Water God - she was rescued and taken to the magical kingdom of Suguk. At the start of this series, Soah was willing to sacrifice her life to the feared god Habaek to save her drought-stricken village on Earth.
