It means to make a promise not to tell something.And then if you do tell you will die......But this is not true..They could still tell and be alive the next day..
The phrase "cross your heart and hope to die" is a traditional expression often used to emphasize the seriousness of a promise or secret. It is not meant to be taken literally; rather, it's a rhetorical device rather than a statement of intent. Saying it does not have any power to cause actual death. Death is a biological process and cannot be invoked by mere words or phrases.
This phrase most likely originated as a religious oath based on the sign of the cross; it is generally accompanied by hand gestures such as crossing one's hands over one's breast and then pointing the right hand skyward (a variant is cross my heart and point to God). Today most often uttered by children, it was first recorded in 1908.

The series follows a group of teenage girls training to become spies at a prestigious academy. The title is a play on the phrase "cross my heart and hope to die," emphasizing the secretive and high-stakes nature of the girls' training.
