Erebus, the de facto ruler of the planet Pontos, accidentally became stranded on a remote, primitive planet and took over the body of a dead human man.
Erebus didn't care that this body was incomplete. His real form had eighteen tentacles, and any one of them could be used instead.
On the second day after he became stranded, a human woman gave him a sachet.
According to the information he had gathered, this was how human women courted. Erebus hesitated for a moment, then accepted.
Although the human woman was another human man's consort, polygamy was not recognized by law on Pontos.
So, in his eyes, she was unmarried.
Under the marriage laws of Pontos, he had to provide his partner with a good, comfortable place to live and fulfill her wishes.
He owned 2,032 advanced planets and countless resource planets.
Yet, for some reason, his partner's only wish was to become the chieftain's wife on a primitive planet.
But whatever his partner wanted, his partner would get.
Li Pan'er was born into humble circumstances but was vain, and all she wanted was to become empress.
She entered the palace at sixteen and spent five years struggling just to become a minor consort.
As she grew older, the palace servants looked down on her more and more. They even stopped giving her charcoal for her brazier.
She had no choice but to take out her savings from the past few years and secretly tuck them into a sachet to bribe the chief eunuch's newly adopted godson.
To her surprise, the young eunuch was not only quite handsome, but also reliable.
Her life improved considerably. Even people who had offended her began disappearing without explanation.
Just as everything was going her way and she was plotting how to win the emperor's favor again, the young eunuch suddenly barged into her bedchamber one night and asked her to become his bedmate.
Looking at his cold, beautiful, expressionless face, Li Pan'er agreed.
Besides, what could a eunuch do to me, other than drool all over my face?
Only when she was pinned to the bed and wrapped up in eighteen tentacles did Li Pan'er stare wide-eyed in terror.
He was a monster!
A monster!
A monster!
After that, everything went off the rails. This brazen lunatic even dared to use his magic to wrap her up until she was in tears, right under the emperor's nose, leaving her exhausted day after day.
Worse still, before long, this monster seized power and ascended the throne, then defied all rules of propriety by insisting on making her empress.
On the day she received the decree naming her empress, Li Pan'er trembled as she shut herself in her bedchamber and tossed and turned all night. Then it suddenly dawned on her.
Who cares who's the county magistrate? I'm going to be the magistrate's wife!
