Summary: from Good Reads
When Soah's impoverished, desperate village decides to sacrifice her to the Water God Habaek to end a long drought, they believe that drowning one beautiful girl will save their entire community and bring much-needed rain. Not only is Soah surprised to be rescued by the Water God -- instead of killed -- she never imagined she'd be a welcomed guest in Habaek's magical kingdom, where an exciting new life awaits her! Most surprising, however, is the Water God himself... and how very different he is from the monster Soah imagined.

Feelings:

I really enjoy the drawings in this manhwa (Korean comic). The color drawings at the beginning of the volume are amazingly detailed. The story starts when Soah is sacrificed to the Water God Habaek. She thinks she is going to die but finds herself in a new land with Habaek as a child. She isn't sure what she thinks of the situation but she wants the best for her people who were dying because of drought. 

At the palace we also have Mui, who we only see at night.  Soah is confused about Mui because she only sees him at night. I am interested to see where the series goes. I am enjoying the story as well as the drawings which are the highlight.
