What Should I Do If My Husband Is Sweet on the Outside, Dark Within?

Xu Dongcang knows a secret: the frail and refined Third Prince is swift, ruthless, and precise when it comes to killing.

She knows it's true because she transmigrated on the very day Jiang Liao killed someone. :)

He swung his blade, and a severed head rolled to her feet.

Jiang Liao turned to look at her. Xu Dongcang felt a chill run down her neck, grabbed his leg, and then... the frail Third Prince fainted.

Rumor had it that the Third Prince was in poor health, and that after Miss Xu the Third saved him, he decided to repay her by marrying her.

Unfortunately, Xu Dongcang was that unlucky Miss Third.

On their wedding day, Xu Dongcang trembled, convinced her head was about to roll off at any moment. Jiang Liao gently stroked her hair and said, "Don't be afraid, my wife. My health is poor. When I die, I'll give you a letter of divorce and set you free. But until then, you'd better not wander off, or else..."

Jiang Liao touched her neck.

Xu Dongcang: "My love for you will never waver. I will never remarry. If you die, I'll follow you to the grave. QAQ"

Jiang Liao gazed at her fondly. "You're so devoted, my wife. I'll do my best to stay alive."

Of course, he didn't die. He made her empress, kept the inner palace empty for her, and gave himself to her as well.

"Testing the Blade"

Word was that a new female leader had joined the Windrise Hall. Her name was Duanmu Qingliu, and she was a bloodthirsty demon who killed without batting an eye.

"I heard she's eight feet tall and built like a tank!"

A frail-looking young woman in the corner objected. "Actually, she's quite petite."

"I heard she kills without restraint and is addicted to blood."

The girl objected again. "Actually, she can't even kill a chicken."

"I heard she... Wait, how do you know?"

"Is it possible that I'm Duanmu Qingliu?" The girl calmly finished her meal, dressed in pristine white.

Everyone was aghast. Then they watched her pick up the enormous blade beside her and slam it onto the table. "Someone reported that your teahouse is secretly running a gambling business. Nobody move."

As they were leaving, they heard the frail-looking girl say something startling: "Damn it, I'm exhausted. The food in this lousy place is terrible. No wonder you have to make money running a gambling business."

Everyone: "..."
