After Living in the Mountains with the Black Lotus Taoist

Sunny sweetheart x affection-starved, dangerously unhinged man

Li Chutang's life plummets from the clouds into the mire.

Her mother dies suddenly, her maternal family is framed, and she goes from being the capital's darling to its biggest joke.

After lying low for three years, she returns, consumed by vengeance. But before she can get revenge, she meets a dangerous man covered in wounds.

To stay alive, she suggests, "What if we pretend to be husband and wife?"

At first, she can't stand him.

He kills with a smile, treats the rules as meaningless, and even his ways of saving her are bizarre and humiliating!

When they run into thugs, he holds the back of her neck and kisses her: "Don't move. I'm giving you air."

When they encounter river bandits, he pulls open her collar and touches her chest: "Come on, this will heal you."

When she is poisoned, he takes her to bathe with him in a medicinal spring: "Your clothes are in the way."

Then her childhood sweetheart comes looking for her, and she finally gets to go home. But that night, she's cornered behind the bed curtains.

The man who once stood above everyone else pins her down, his eyes bloodshot as he grinds his lips against hers. His voice is hoarse:

"Li Chutang, do you like me?"

[Male Lead's Blurb]

Jiang Daozhuo is the most notorious Imperial Preceptor in the dynasty. He clawed his way out of the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood in the southern frontier, and the people fear him like a ghost.

When the Heavenly Sacrifice failed that day, he intended to kill the young woman who had witnessed his humiliation.

But by some strange twist of fate, he formed the closest kind of blood pact with her.

He thought he couldn't stand her dazzling appearance, so different from his own.

But when she really did leave the mountain and learned who he was, he went completely mad.

When Li Chutang decides to marry her childhood sweetheart,

he plants a love parasite in himself, forcing her to choose:

"This is a hundred-day life-extending pact. Either use me a hundred times within a hundred days, or watch me die!"

During the days she's forced to make use of him, Li Chutang learns just how capable he is.

The more fully she uses him and the better they fit together, the more elaborate their techniques, the more effective the treatment.

If they don't finish within a hundred days, or if she just goes through the motions, he will die.

3. Short and sweet overall, but the male lead is not short at all! He's just impressive!
