Xia Wu and her husband, Yan Wenxu, married for political reasons and had never met before the wedding. Afterward, they treated each other with the polite distance of strangers. Even when they slept together, the atmosphere between them was stifling and silent.
Xia Wu, however, was a lively, passionate person who loved all kinds of little pleasures in life. Yan Wenxu was quiet, taciturn, and cold as ice, focused entirely on slaying demons and securing peace throughout the realm, with little interest in romance.
Xia Wu spent almost every day alone in her room, growing more and more unhappy until she began thinking of a divorce.
One night, she was sitting at the table drafting a divorce agreement when the door suddenly swung open. Her usually aloof husband, always dressed in flowing white robes, had uncharacteristically put on a grim black robe. His normally stern, cold expression had turned wicked and wanton.
With a vicious smile, he stared at Xia Wu and said, "Sister-in-law, stop waiting for my older brother. He isn't coming tonight."
Xia Wu: ??? When did he get a younger brother?
Her husband in black carried Xia Wu straight to the bed, tempting her to fall from grace the entire time. "Don't I treat you better than my brother? From now on, be with me, Sister-in-law. We can enjoy ourselves together every night."
After that thrilling night, Xia Wu no longer wanted a divorce. She was just a little uneasy, feeling as if she really had cheated with her younger brother-in-law.
As the days went by, her husband was always proper during the day, but at night he turned into the wicked "younger brother-in-law." Her relationship with her husband remained on life support, while her relationship with the "younger brother-in-law" kept getting better.
One day, Yan Wenxu, busy slaying demons, finally remembered his wife. Feeling guilty for neglecting her for so long, he went to her room after sunset.
He had barely sat down on the edge of the bed when his beautiful wife wrapped her arms around him from behind. Her pale arms were smooth as jade, and her voice was sweet and alluring. "Why did you come so early today, Erlang?"
Yan Wenxu: "..." Who is Erlang?!
The next moment, a sinister, vicious voice full of defiance rang in his mind. "That's me."
