Jiang Nuan was a famous, hugely popular writer of tragic historical romances in Haocheng. She unexpectedly found herself caught in an earthquake and lost her life.
So she was dead. So what? Living was exhausting anyway. But after dying, she somehow ended up in the Palace of the King of Hell as a female ghost?
If she was a ghost, then so be it. She could always carve out a career in literature in the Palace of the King of Hell. If she ever got the chance to return to the mortal world, that would certainly be something to be proud of.
But why had she died and ended up as the heroine in her own melodramatic novel?
So that handsome man, the one she had written as a bloodthirsty, murderous, vengeful, ruthless, reckless, beast-hearted, and utterly deranged fiend, was going to be her future husband?
And could someone tell her why she was the illegitimate child of the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Venerable?
Synopsis One:
I, Jiang Nuan, went through three marriages. I let the Demon Venerable turn evil, becoming a villain hated by everyone, killing without mercy, making trouble at every turn, and bringing calamity to all living things, all to save you and the underworld. Yet you broke my heart, destroyed my family, and wounded me. Tell me, how could I marry you? How would I dare?
Synopsis Two:
Evil deeds bring evil consequences. I did everything the people of this world considered shameful, and took pride in those shameful deeds. I was deranged, murderous, and bloodthirsty. I, too, gave you my sincere heart, but from then on, a heart that once existed became no heart at all. There would never again be a Night Watcher in this world. Hand in hand beside the River of Forgetfulness, with scattered lights and distant voices, the songs of a chaotic age never ended, and the tears of longing never dried...
