On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered I Was His Living Gu Worm

[Two male leads + Chinese-style horror + suspense + sickly, obsessive love interest + marriage-pact Gu bond + one-on-one, both leads are each other’s only partner] [Gentle yet strong-willed intern × deranged, obsessive Gu Master] On our wedding night, the nuptial wine concealed a Gu that could kill me!
