I Became a Languid Fish After Marrying a Yandere

[Also known as Married to a Northeastern Yandere] [The print edition, titled Little Cold Spring, is now available on Taobao, JD, and Pinduoduo.] [The blurb may sound awkward. I really can’t write it any better, so please bear with it. At heart, this is a goofy, sweet little story.] On the three hundred and sixty-fifth day after Zhao Xiheng was abducted and imprisoned by the usurper Wei Li, Wei Li held her tightly in his arms that night, kissing the sweat on her flushed cheeks. His voice was low and hoarse. “A Tuan, before I die, I’ll make sure to kill you first and take you with me.” The imperial army had reached the city gates to suppress the rebellion. Wei Li’s cause was lost, and he might be left to rot outside the gates as soon as tomorrow. Zhao Xiheng silently watched the killing intent deepen in his eyes and realized she couldn’t keep playing the idle layabout. She patted her still-flat stomach. “Little one, we can’t keep playing with your dad anymore.” But she hit her head while climbing over the wall. When she woke, the first thing she saw was Wei Li with tears in his eyes. Before she could say a word, he reached out a trembling hand to stroke her hair and said, as carefully as he could, “A Tuan, don’t go. I won’t scare you again…” Zhao Xiheng was at a loss for words. There’s no need for that. You really didn’t scare me… A lovesick, yandere mad dog of a male lead versus a ferocious, lazy heroine. #I’ll do my best to play along with your act# [The heroine swears. If that bothers you, please don’t read.] [One-on-one, happy ending.] [Ongoing] Coming soon: Scent Gathering (The Other Man) Xiao Subai was the eldest son of Marquis Xiao, yet he was raised to become the capital Luojing’s number-one wastrel, adept at everything from horse racing to cockfighting. One New Year, he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. A local rich merchant invited him to a banquet, where he happened to catch sight of the merchant’s second wife, a quiet and gentle beauty. The only pity was that she was mute and could not speak. Xiao Subai fell for her at first sight and used every means to seize her. The beauty was dull and boring, and once the novelty wore off, he lost interest. His family also refused to let him bring her into their home, so he casually settled her somewhere outside, treating her as a plaything to amuse himself. Later, the Xiao family was convicted in a single day. He was the only wastrel in the family to survive, and he was to be exiled a thousand miles away. As Xiao Subai lay on a handcart, burning with fever and filthy from head to toe, about to be thrown to the dogs, his old friends and family avoided him and hurried to cut ties. The beauty he had never taken seriously, however, spent all her wealth, bribed the guards to treat him, and stuffed a stack of piping-hot flatbreads into his arms. Back then, Xiao Subai was too arrogant and contemptuous to ever make an effort to understand her. Naturally, he couldn’t understand what her gestures meant. He knew he was vile and despicable and didn’t dare ask her to stay. He could only watch her retreating figure with red-rimmed eyes and silently vow that he would come back one day. Five years later, rebel troops trampled Luojing. The exiled son of Marquis Xiao ascended the throne, but no one knew that the new emperor spent every night away from the palace. In an ordinary home, he knelt beside a young woman, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and pleading tenderly, “I’ll be careful. I won’t let your fiancé find out. Don’t send me away.” He was willing to be her lover, kept hidden from the world.
