The Clingy Princess's Consort Goes on a Killing Spree

Sweet Princess & Black-Bellied, Devoted Hound | Both Pure | Male Lead Reborn

Princess Xiao Jing had enjoyed sixteen years of smooth sailing, but lately she had been plagued by nightmares and could barely sleep at night.

The Imperial Observatory determined that an evil yin force had struck her and that she needed to marry someone with an unusual fate to suppress it.

After much thought, she set her sights on her childhood friend, Lu Jinglan. He had won countless military honors and possessed a face as handsome as jade. More importantly, ever since they were children, his eyes had been so clear and guileless that he was easy to fool.

After their wedding, she discovered that her consort was handsome and useful, but extremely clingy.

The hand that could single-handedly challenge an enemy could not hold a single almond cookie.

He insisted she feed it to him, then caught her wrist and drew her hand to his lips.

His fingertips were warm and damp. Her hand trembled.

He only looked up at her innocently, then lightly licked the corner of his mouth. "So sweet."

His title as a God of Slaughter could make children cry at night, yet he was even more difficult than a child when it came to taking medicine.

She fed him one spoonful, and only then would he take one spoonful.

He savored every mouthful before slowly rolling his Adam's apple and swallowing.

Fortunately, the evil aura gradually faded and the nightmares disappeared, so she indulged him.

But when it came to letting her sleep peacefully, he simply could not manage it.

He used every battlefield tactic on her.

He leaned over and trapped her, first brushing against her ear to distract her, then circling around to attack her neck.

Only when she was all tangled up and hazy did he charge straight in and capture her territory.

His scorching breath circled her again and again as he murmured, "Jingjing..."

She had thought he was simply too clingy.

That was until an assassin attacked during a palace banquet, and she leaned toward the elder brother she had relied on since childhood.

There was a muffled thud. When she opened her eyes again, blood had sprayed three feet.

The consort who had been smiling warmly moments earlier now had blood-red eyes and a vicious aura. The short blade in his hand was still dripping blood.

The obsession and grievance that had been building in his eyes for who knew how long surged forth. Why didn't you choose me?

Her heart jolted. Her clingy consort might not be as gentle and good-natured as she had imagined...

It was only much later that Xiao Jing learned the truth.

When news of her death in her previous life, "regicide and fratricide, followed by suicide to atone," reached the frontier, Lu Jinglan sat alone amid a mountain of corpses for three days.

After his great victory and return to the capital, the stench of blood lingered in the Golden Throne Hall for ten days.

Later, he went mad searching for every gifted and extraordinary person in the world, knocking on their doors.

And later still, he died too.

No one knew why. They only heard that in the imperial garden that year, pear blossoms fell like snow in the wind, covering him from head to toe.
