Past and Present Lives / Taking by Force / Dark, Obsessive Male Lead / 1v1 HE
Le Ying was born without the capacity to love.
It was only after her father and husband died that she learned what grief felt like.
To resurrect her husband, she followed one of his old friends to the foot of Qinglan Mountain.
There, she met a young man.
His adoptive mother had been killed by a demon. He cut halfway through the demon's neck,
but the demon only smiled strangely, pulled its head back into place, and came back to life.
For the first time, she learned fear.
She went up the mountain, was found to have an exceptional wood spiritual root, and joined a sect. As she studied healing arts and made a circle of friends,
she gradually learned joy.
She thought that was enough.
But a junior disciple she had once cared for became obsessed with winning her love.
He even risked his life to gather a Heaven-Mending Grass from the perilous Ten-Thousand-Fathom Demon Valley, hoping to grow a root of love in her heart.
She took the grass, but did not do as he wished. Instead, she used it to resurrect the husband who had been dead for many years.
Her junior disciple completely lost his mind and sank his teeth into her neck with thin lips:
“If I can't have your heart, then I'll have you!”
Le Ying nodded, and married him that very night.

Yue Shuangxu was born into the imperial family, but his yin-attracting constitution made him an ill omen.
His father wanted to break him, and his mother despised him.
His siblings did nothing but beat and berate him.
Only on the day his kingdom fell did he finally escape that gilded hell, rescued by a woman named Liu Yun.
She treated him well, but died at the hands of a demon.
Later, because he bore a dark spiritual root, people still despised him.
Everyone except his senior sister.
She was kind to everyone, including him.
But he wanted her to belong to him alone.
Only when she died protecting him did he remember:
She had belonged to him alone all along.
