After Marrying the Villain Ghost King

Synopsis: In an age of turmoil involving gods and ghosts, Jiang Yaoyao transmigrates into the body of a cannon-fodder mortal with no cultivation whatsoever. Even the mission system considers her useless and abandons her outright. Jiang Yaoyao takes the opportunity to embrace an easygoing life, settling down in a remote little town to enjoy some peace and quiet. She marries a frail young gentleman she once treated. Though weak and frequently ill, her husband is gentle and attentive. Every day, he rolls up his sleeves to cook for her, and whenever she rambles on about this and that, he listens quietly. Life is simple and peaceful, with everything going smoothly. Jiang Yaoyao ought to be perfectly content. But after their marriage, she gradually begins to notice that something about her husband seems a little… off. For instance, his body temperature is always unnaturally cold. Jiang Yaoyao: He just has a naturally cold constitution. Nothing to worry about. Her husband also doesn’t seem to feel pain. Jiang Yaoyao thinks: He must have suffered so much over the years. And then there’s the fact that no matter where she goes at night, her husband always manages to appear silently beside her bed. Jiang Yaoyao falls silent for a moment. Actually… there’s nothing wrong with a husband who’s a little clingy. Until the day of the Ghost Festival. As countless ghosts parade through the night, Jiang Yaoyao suddenly awakens to discover her husband, who sleeps in the outer room, silently sitting up in the darkness. Beyond the cracks in the window, ghostly shadows loom across the mountains, while the Daoist priests’ flames blaze skyward. And her delicate, helpless husband—the one supposedly too frail to take care of himself—is standing outside in the courtyard, lifting his gaze with a dark, menacing expression. In the next instant, dozens of blood-red streaks shoot skyward. Myriad ghosts bow their heads in submission, not daring to utter so much as a whimper. Jiang Yaoyao: “…” At the same time, the mission system that once abandoned her comes rushing back in a panic, bringing two pieces of news— First, every other mission participant has been killed by the ruthless villain Ghost King. She is the sole survivor. Second, her current husband… Apparently, he is that very same unhinged Ghost King. The Divine Dao orders Jiang Yaoyao to forge a soul contract with Si Qinye, infiltrate his spiritual consciousness, and wait for an opportunity to kill him. Jiang Yaoyao refuses on the spot. But then, by chance, she discovers that she can enter his spiritual consciousness whenever she wishes. There are no protective restrictions or defenses at all. Almost as though… She had been granted permission from the very beginning. Later, when her true identity is exposed, she instinctively turns to flee, only for him to seize her wrist. The man lowers his eyes to look at her and, with the same gentleness as always, places a knife in her palm. “Didn’t you want to kill me?” “I’ll teach you how.” Main Characters: Jiang Yaoyao, Si Qinye — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: After Marrying the Villain Ghost King — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
