Synopsis

She is an ordinary young woman born with a pure yin constitution. Her childhood was bleak, and she suffered one injustice after another.

One day, she stumbles upon a supernatural horror and nearly loses her soul.

He is Xie Heng, a thousand-year-old Ghost King who commands the Netherworld. Cold and ruthless, he lets no one near him,

yet he alone shelters her in the palm of his hand and cherishes her with all his heart.

When she is trapped in an illusion, he storms into her nightmare without a second thought,

pulling her back from the brink of becoming a demon.

To keep her safe, he willingly burns through his cultivation and forces himself onward despite his injuries,

wishing only for her to live a peaceful, worry-free life.

To escape danger and conceal their whereabouts, she takes him with her to a remote village.

She hopes for a quiet life, but instead faces the harassment of awful relatives and the watchful eyes of evil spirits lurking in the shadows.

Xie Heng shields her firmly behind him, his gaze icy:

“My thousand years of power are not yours to challenge.

Harm her, and your soul will be scattered. That will be your end.”

Yan Zi asks, eyes red, “Why are you so good to me?”

The man bends down and kisses away the dampness at the corner of her eye, his voice low and tender:

“Because I’m the one who came to take you home.”

Heartbreaking angst at first, then so much doting you’ll be hooked!

A double-standard Ghost King who spoils her alone × a sweet, bittersweet tale of fated salvation

In this life, he would overturn the Netherworld for her, and show tenderness to no one but her.
