I Have a Monster for a Husband

Jiang Liqing always thought her husband was beyond reproach.

He was handsome, gentle-tempered, and always gave her whatever she asked for.

Her friends all said her husband was incredibly capable.

After all, since they got married, he had never once let Jiang Liqing set foot in the kitchen;

The house was always spotless;

And her husband cared about making things special, often preparing all kinds of little surprises for her.

Of course, he was even more capable in bed.

After more than twenty years of bad luck, Jiang Liqing thought her fortunes had finally turned and she had found a good marriage.

Until one day, she came home early from work and discovered countless slimy tentacles crawling all over the house.

The tentacles were sweeping the floor, wiping the windows, trimming flowers, decorating the house with balloons...

Just then, her husband came out of the kitchen carrying the meal he had just cooked, the tentacles waving menacingly behind him.

When he saw Jiang Liqing, her husband froze.

Then, his expression gentle, he walked over and bent down to kiss her trembling lips. "Qingqing, why are you home early?"

"I'm so sorry you had to see this on such an important day as our anniversary."

"But it's all right. We'll just sleep, and it'll be fine. Be good, Qingqing."

As an eldritch god from the future, Gu Fan initially had no idea how to get along with his wife.

He decided to post for help on an online forum.

[Gu: I'm an eldritch god with 108 tentacles. I'm afraid my wife will be disgusted by my true form. How can I keep her by my side and make her willingly spend the rest of her life with me?]

[User A: Huh? Did you drink yourself silly, buddy? You're an eldritch god, and I'm Qin Shi Huang. Come on, let's have a magic battle.]

[User B: Haha, don't be so mean to the guy above. How about this, eldritch buddy? I'll give you some sincere advice. Use your 108 tentacles to make your wife completely devoted to you, and I guarantee she won't be able to leave you.]

[User C: Exactly, exactly. Add some blindfold play and bondage play. Oh, and make sure your wife never finds out about your tentacles. It's a little game between married couples, you know?]

Gu Fan lowered his eyes and tightened his grip on his phone.

Use his tentacles to pleasure Qingqing? All right.

So he learned to use his tentacles to make the house spotless, cook four delicious dishes and a soup in just fifteen minutes, and bring Qingqing gold and diamonds formed from his tentacles.

Sure enough, the love in Qingqing's eyes grew stronger by the day.

So when Jiang Liqing unexpectedly discovered his true form, he remembered the advice, "Make sure your wife never finds out about your tentacles," and chose to erase her memories.

He loved Qingqing, so he wanted Qingqing to love him forever, too.

Nothing could ever separate them.

When Jiang Liqing woke up, she still couldn't get those tentacles out of her mind.

Sleep it off? Yeah, right.

But when she walked out of the room, she saw her husband preparing a candlelit dinner.

The dining room was filled with the delicious aroma of food, and at the end of the table sat a bouquet of her favorite red roses.

Jiang Liqing suddenly felt that maybe they could keep living together after all.

As long as Gu Fan didn't add any weird tentacles to the food she ate every day!

Theme: Love life, and always remain hopeful about it.
