She has three faces: a fragile sister-in-law in public, a prisoner bound by contract in private, and he is both her jailer and her protector.
When Su Xiaoruan opens her eyes, she has become a villainous cannon-fodder character in an old-fashioned tragic romance, being dragged off to be drowned in a pond.
Desperate to stay alive, she flees in a panic and accidentally awakens a sealed Netherworld Sovereign.
Forced to sign a slave contract, she lives in constant fear:
On one hand, she must deal with the female antagonist in the household who wants her dead, as well as three younger brothers-in-law, each with their own designs;
On the other, she has to satisfy the picky “diet” of the ancestor inside her: ancient jade, soul artifacts, golden cores of powerful cultivators? Where is she supposed to find those things?!
At last, when the Netherworld Sovereign regains his strength and breaks free of his seal, the heavens tremble.
Yet he bends down to place the crown of the Netherworld Queen on her head. “I slept for ten thousand years, and you alone caught my eye. We will share this prison.”
Really good-looking! This book!
