[Obsessive Love] [Coercive Romance] [Fated Reincarnation] [Mutual Redemption]
Good news: a fortuitous opportunity has fallen from the sky, a legendary golden find!
Maid: Stories always say you shouldn't pick up men you find by the roadside. The last person who did picked up a snake, got both eyes gouged out, and jumped from the Execution Immortal Terrace!
The heroine waves her hand: Not necessarily. Take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. An opportunity this rare comes once in a thousand years. I'll take him home and stew him over a big fire. He'll surely be a potent tonic.
Bad news: Who knows whether he's nutritious or not, but not only did her plan to raise him go off the rails, she also raised herself a gloomy, sinister ghost of a man.
When he learns that the heroine still harbors a beloved in her heart, his daily routine becomes a constant swing between "acting meek and obedient, pretending to be weak" and "going mad and killing everyone."
When his true feelings break through the facade, she has nowhere left to run.
"Let the gods bear witness. Even if Heaven's will forbids it, even if my divine soul is shattered..."
"I love you, and my heart will never change."
"If you refuse to marry me, I'll marry into your family in the Kunlun Ruins."
"But if you dare give your heart to another..."
Fierce, obsessive madness surged in his eyes. He smiled coldly. "Then I'll burn the entire Great Wilderness to ashes. We'll all perish together. I will never let you have your way!"
Looking at the man on the verge of losing control before her, she thought, "Oh, no! Where's my big, sweet, well-behaved boy?!"
After countless trials, when all was settled, she finally faced that surging love and gave the long-awaited reply:
"Even if the primordial world falls silent and the gods reject me, I still love you, year after year, without end."
