The Demon Lord Is Gloomy and Obsessive

Chi Yu grew up in the Demon Abyss. He was cold, obsessive, and at times as violent as a madman.

Everyone feared him, and Mu Ling did too.

But as she lay dying, she saw him charge toward her like a madman, risking his life to shield her in his arms.

Reborn and reunited, Mu Ling decided to try to put up with his bad temper.

Mu Ling: "Let's get one thing straight. From now on, you have to listen to me. No hurting people, and no going crazy."

"..."

"Okay."

Chi Yu suppressed the darkness in his eyes and nodded, his voice hoarse.

Chi Yu kept his word and did everything she asked.

Mu Ling was satisfied and stopped resisting his closeness.

Until one day, Mu Ling discovered that Chi Yu was the violent Demon Lord who would massacre a city in the future, and that his obedience all these days had been an act.

Everything came to a halt.

When he found her, Chi Yu was trembling all over.

With blood-red eyes, he pinned her against the wall and stared fixedly at her lowered face. In the end, he pulled her into his arms instead. "Mu Ling, you have no idea how close you're driving me to madness..."

Only after that day did Mu Ling truly learn what Chi Yu was like when he went mad.

Her whole body was weak and sore, and beside her ear she heard his intoxicated, restrained murmurs: "Be good, and I'll do whatever you say."
