After being reborn, Qi Lingyu hastily married a young man and unexpectedly became bound to him by a love-affliction curse.
The young man was gentle, handsome, powerful, and upright.
He was always disciplined, polite, and careful never to overstep.
But the first time the curse took effect, Qi Lingyu saw a completely different side of Ji Su.
The young man held her and kissed her everywhere. All his usual calm restraint and gentle manners vanished. No matter how much Qi Lingyu begged, he ignored her.
Qi Lingyu cried until her eyes were red.
The young man even chuckled as he bit the tip of her ear and whispered filthy things.
By day, the young man who had pinned her down and tormented her the night before returned to his usual self. But Qi Lingyu was now on guard.
Bound by the love-affliction curse, she couldn't escape at all.
Fortunately, Ji Su only stopped behaving like a gentleman on the nights the curse took effect. When Qi Lingyu, sniffling, decided she could probably manage to get by...
Her demon-hunter husband, whom she'd always believed to be impeccably upright, casually chopped down several people who had insulted her, as if they were watermelons.
With his back to her, he smiled, cold and cruel.
When the young man heard the commotion and turned around, he smiled and wiped his dagger clean.
"Did I scare you?"
Qi Lingyu stared at the blood splashed on her embroidered shoes, still trembling with fear, when another group of demons arrived. They bowed deeply to her husband and begged for mercy.
Qi Lingyu: Who would believe that my upright, righteous demon-hunter husband has turned into a villain feared by every demon?
As Qi Lingyu trembled in fear,
in full view of everyone, the young man bent down and knelt on one knee to wipe the blood off her embroidered shoes.
He pleaded quietly, "Lingyu, please don't be afraid of me, okay?"
[The setup may change a little, but this is roughly the idea. This is actually an old blurb from an earlier version. The current version no longer has this setup, so I'm starting a separate book.]
[It won't be long, probably around a hundred thousand words (?) ]
[Romance-focused, sweet story, lots of couple cuddles]
[As is customary, one-on-one, both pure]
Theme: For two hearts bound together to last, they must cherish each other every day.
