The Red-Robed Demon Emperor Dotes on Me Alone, While the Buddhist Sage Is Madly in Love with Me

This book is the sequel to My Husband Is a Rat and picks up right where the previous story left off. If you haven't read the first book, it's recommended that you start there.

A heads-up about possible dealbreakers! The male lead's romance is a slow burn. The popular Buddhist monk character makes his official debut in the desolate village dungeon in chapter thirty. The early story focuses entirely on the male lead, the Red-Robed Demon Emperor, so if you're eager to see the monk, please think twice before starting!

One day, she strays into a perilous secret realm, where every step brings her closer to death.

Shen Qingning is trapped, and in her hour of danger, the only one who consistently protects her is Gui Moli, clad in red.

Cold and obsessive, with overwhelming power, he takes on every sinister threat in her place as they brave one deadly trial after another together.

Through their trials in the secret realm and their journey through one desperate situation after the next, their bond grows deeper. They protect each other, and neither will leave the other behind, even in death.

When the desolate village dungeon opens, someone long forgotten steps into the light.

A secret crush, profound affection, and a three-way tangle of fate: this is where it all begins.

The early story is all about the leads' intense push and pull and their fight to survive. Later, the romantic rivalry brings one high-stakes twist after another. It's a slow burn that builds steadily, and the further you read, the better it gets!
