We Got Engaged, but My Partner Is the Zombie King [Apocalypse]

[Possessive, Wife-Doting Zombie King x Fragile, Self-Preserving, Snarky Heroine]

1.

Gu Zhao transmigrated into an apocalypse crawling with zombies. With no special abilities, she was treated as a pawn by the base and forced to marry the Zombie King.

She said, "...Can zombies tell the difference between a bride and fresh food?"

To ease Gu Zhao's pre-wedding anxiety, the personnel brainwashed her:

"He's changed now. He doesn't eat people all the time anymore."

"Look, he even wears a muzzle."

"He was a handsome guy with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs when he was alive. Maybe you'll fall for him once you're married!"

She said, "...If he's so great, you go marry him instead."

The next moment, the personnel member's gun clicked off safety.

Gu Zhao immediately pulled on a wedding dress with a long train. "Yes, I do!!!"

At the wedding:

Holding a bouquet, Gu Zhao slowly walked toward the Zombie King beneath the ravenous gazes of the surrounding zombies.

Her new husband stared at her through his full-face muzzle as if a beast had fixed its eyes on its prey.

The priest was trembling, but still tried to keep the ceremony lively:

"Looks like our groom is instinctively attracted to his bride. He must be a devoted and faithful man!"

Gu Zhao: ...I get it. I look the same way when I see chicken. Purely instinctive attraction. :)

On their wedding night:

Gu Zhao and her zombie husband shared a room but slept in separate beds. In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke, acutely aware of someone's burning gaze on her back.

Gu Zhao panicked. What if he's so hungry he can't stop himself from lunging at me and eating me!

On their honeymoon:

Her husband hugged her tightly from behind, the cold metal muzzle pressed against the back of Gu Zhao's neck as he murmured, "Honey, you smell so good."

Gu Zhao: You jerk, what kind of good smell? Be specific!

This bizarre, almost eerie marriage between two different worlds somehow turned out to be a happy one.

No pressure to have kids, thanks to reproductive incompatibility. No worries about daily household expenses, since her husband preferred to eat things raw. No petty family squabbles, since her husband rarely spoke "human."

Gu Zhao gradually relaxed. Maybe... it wasn't as bad as she'd imagined.

The Zombie King's dark perspective:

On their wedding day:

When his wife lifted her veil, looked up at him with tearful eyes, and shyly recited her sweet wedding vows.

In that instant...

Him: You're my woman. 🥵

On their wedding night:

The man sat up and watched his wife, curled into a ball in the opposite bed.

Him: 🥰 My tiny little wife is so cute sleeping over there~

It wasn't until Gu Zhao discovered her true golden finger ability, [Zombie Charmer], with its one and only skill: Zombies love her at first sight!

Not only did the Zombie King obey her, but all his zombie underlings bowed to her too.

Since there wasn't much left to do around the house, Gu Zhao simply rolled up her sleeves and helped her family expand their territory and recruit underlings.

Fifteen years into the apocalypse, the Zombie Empire was officially established.

According to paparazzi reports, whenever their human queen raised a hand, the Zombie King would obediently lower his head and let her stroke his face.
