Cthulhu Mythos + sweet historical romance + interspecies love + lighthearted healing
A sweet, fearless girl with an unusual way of thinking VS a gloomy, reclusive tentacled Old God prince
By imperial decree, Miaomiao takes her older half-sister’s place and marries the Ninth Prince, Xie Yuan, who is rumored to be a bloodthirsty tyrant, half man and half ghost.
Everyone says she’s doomed to die, swallowed whole by the monster.
On their wedding night, the bridal chamber is dark and cold. Countless slick, chilly tentacles watch from the shadows, waiting for a chance to strike.
But Miaomiao throws her arms around the indescribable black mass and nuzzles it. “My husband’s body pillow is so soft, like cotton candy.”
Xie Yuan, who was ready to scare the bride to tears: “…?” (tentacles stiffen.jpg)
Later…
She waters the man-eating flowers in the prince’s garden as if they were potted plants.
She catches the kitchen’s resident troublemaker and puts him to work peeling garlic.
Even the dark form that could devour heaven and earth gets braided into pigtails and decorated with a bow.
Xie Yuan was an evil god who had fallen into the abyss. He loathed the light and hated humanity.
Until the young woman who refused to play by the rules barged into his world. Not only was she unafraid of him, she was always trying to pet his tentacles.
“Husband, they say you’re a monster.”
“Are you afraid?”
“Afraid of what? You peel shrimp super fast, you’re so warm in bed, and you’re fully automatic!”
Xie Yuan’s ears turn red. He silently draws back the tentacles he’d extended to scare her and forms a heart with them.
You are the only sweetness in the abyss, the only salvation in my long, lonely existence.
Overall, it was a very good read. The pacing was fast and not dragging, and the romance was quite strong. However, I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the beginning felt a bit repetitive and almost confused me. The female and male leads were especially sweet, but it would have been even better if the details had been richer. The last few chapters made me cry; they were very well written. Keep it up!
@ I have a question. In the first chapter, the female lead sees a shadowy figure, and later, after marrying into the prince's family, things like the sleeping tentacles and the decorations of the prince's mansion happen. Why can't these be seen as dark and terrifying ghosts by others, but as magic and immortal power by the female lead?
The theme is unique, and it's so sweet—definitely worth watching!
Beautiful, beautiful, super beautiful, thumbs up for the author! 👍
It looks good.
It's so good (/ω\), a fast-paced sweet story 😘😘😘
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Hilarious, so hilarious!
This novel really moved me. There are no humans in it, but the ghosts are like humans and even a bit like gods. It's a pity I'm sick and can't do anything about it; I can only enjoy reading it.
I really like it, it's sweet.
