[Ancient Soul Reborn in the Modern Era] [Sweet Romance] [Soul Mark] [Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium]
Li Xiao was a ruthless, cold-blooded king of the underworld whom no one dared approach. Not even he knew that he was actually the son of an ancient emperor, reincarnated to undergo tribulations and escape being marked and married into the family of a princess of the Fragrance Clan.
What no one else knew was that Gong Tuyou, who pretended to be a timid newcomer, was the princess of the Fragrance Clan, lying low in the mortal world. She had crossed through time and space to bring back her runaway husband.
Her body carried an intoxicating scent that could control people's minds and leave a soul-bound mark that could never be removed.
She approached Li Xiao as if she were his prey.
At first, Li Xiao sneered at her coldly, seeing her only as prey desperate to cling to him. "If you want leverage, just say so."
He had no idea Gong Tuyou had already activated his soul mark without him noticing.
The mark sank deeper day by day, and its backlash came on quietly.
The aloof Second Master began to lose control. He spaced out in meetings, tossed and turned with anxiety, and became obsessively addicted to her unique fragrance.
When he saw someone else approach her, his possessiveness spiraled. He silently stamped out every rumor and slight aimed at her.
Only when the silver totem between his collarbones fully appeared did Li Xiao realize he had long since become prey caught in a trap.
The once lofty and dismissive Second Master Li completely broke down.
With bloodshot eyes, he held Gong Tuyou captive, shedding all his haughty composure. He clung to her in desperation, begging over and over in a hushed voice:
"Don't take your scent away. Don't remove the mark. Youyou, I'm yours. I always have been."
The hunt began as a game of calculation, with Gong Tuyou as the hunter. But in the end, Li Xiao, the cold and restrained man, was the one who became obsessed, fell hard, and desperately begged for her affection.
