Blurb:

[A dull-witted, honest physician x a two-faced, deranged ghost]

In an age of chaos ruled by gods and ghosts, Jiang Yaoyao transmigrated into the body of an ordinary nobody with no cultivation. Even the System deemed her useless and abandoned her outright.

Jiang Yaoyao decided to lie flat and settled into a quiet, peaceful life in a remote town, marrying a frail young gentleman she had treated.

Her husband was sickly, yet gentle and considerate. Every day, he would roll up his sleeves and cook for her, and listen quietly when she rambled.

Life was peaceful and uneventful. Jiang Yaoyao should have been content, but after they married, she gradually realized that something about her husband seemed off.

For example, his body was always far too cold.

Jiang Yaoyao: He just has a cold constitution. It's nothing to worry about.

Her husband seemed unable to feel pain.

Jiang Yaoyao thought: He must have suffered a lot over the years.

And no matter where she went at night, her husband would always appear silently beside her bed.

Jiang Yaoyao fell silent for a moment. "Actually... being a little clingy isn't such a bad thing."

Then, on the Ghost Festival, when ghosts roamed the night, she suddenly woke up and saw her husband, who had been sleeping in the outer room, silently sit up in the darkness.

Beyond the window, ghosts filled the mountains. Taoists' flames blazed into the sky, while her frail, helpless husband stood outside in the courtyard, lifting his eyes with a sinister expression.

The next moment, dozens of streams of blood shot into the sky. Ten thousand ghosts bowed their heads, not daring to make so much as a whimper.

Jiang Yaoyao: ...

At the same time, the task System that had abandoned her in the past came rushing back and told her two things:

First, all the other task-takers had been killed by the ruthless Villain Ghost King. She was the only survivor.

Second, her current husband seemed to be that very mad Ghost King.

The Divine Path ordered her to form a soul pact with Si Qinye, infiltrate his consciousness, and wait for a chance to kill him. Jiang Yaoyao refused on the spot.

But she accidentally discovered that she could enter his consciousness whenever she wanted.

There were no wards or defenses, as though... she had been allowed in from the very beginning.

Later, when her identity was exposed, she instinctively turned to run, only for him to grab her by the wrist.

The man looked down at her, gentle as ever, and placed a knife in her palm.

"Didn't you want to kill me?"

"I'll teach you."
