Ruan Li never thought he would have anything to do with an evil god in this life.

All he wanted was to quietly be an ice-cold beauty who could study for a graduate degree and write papers, yet also stand up for what was right and handle himself in a fight.

But after a series of strange events, he mistakenly believed that an evil god worshipped by a bizarre village had killed his older sister. Overcome with grief and fury, he decided to disguise himself as a bride, marry the evil god, and seize an opportunity to kill him in revenge.

Yet the evil god knew full well that he was a man and knew what he was plotting, but still married him for real.

And so Ruan Li became the evil god’s true bride.

When the veil was lifted, the peerlessly handsome evil god Dongting smiled and said, “This bride is truly beautiful. I was so captivated that I forgot you were a man.”

Ruan Li failed to kill the god, then learned that his sister was still alive. Dongting had let her go back to the city. But now Ruan Li and Dongting were trapped here, and neither could leave.

Dongting lowered his eyes. “My mark is carved into your very blood and bones. You are the last evil god’s bride in this world. From now on, you will sink into darkness and wander in the abyss. You will be my lifelong companion, until heaven and earth lie in ruin and the gods fall. Then you will sleep beside me in the dream of death.”

Ruan Li replied impassively, “I won’t sink into desolation.”

“I’ll only lead you into the sunlight.”

*Although the villagers are eager to hold weddings for the evil god, Dongting has never once come to claim a bride, and every wedding has failed.

Dongting has been single until now. Ruan Li is his first and only spouse.

Gentle, scheming, unhinged evil god top x cool, resilient, ready to fight, beautiful bottom

Content warning: Dongting is a scheming, unhinged top, and as an evil god, he also has a very unusual way of thinking. Please steer clear if that’s not for you. This is a story about a cool on the outside, warm on the inside bottom redeeming a scheming, unhinged top.

Immortal Lord Xiyun was admired throughout the Three Realms. He was beautiful, aloof, and powerful. Aside from the faction of the Celestial Emperor, who feared his power might overshadow the throne, everyone loved him.

Countless people pursued him, but Xiyun remained as unshakable as an iceberg. Just as everyone thought he would spend his life alone, the Demon Lord Canghan descended from the sky and whisked him away.

In the city of ghosts, surrounded by howling wraiths and a sky thick with blood, Canghan seemed to stand amid peach blossoms. He clasped Xiyun’s hand and smiled softly.

“Three hundred years ago, the Immortal Lord and I hit it off at first sight and traveled together. Then we became enemies and crossed swords. I spent three hundred years in seclusion, seeing nothing of the world. Has your heart found peace, Immortal Lord?”

Xiyun gazed back in silence. A prophecy about his fate surfaced in his mind again, followed by countless nightmares.

“I will never speak of love with the Demon Lord in this life.”

Then heaven and earth turned upside down, and a calamity swept through the Three Realms. Xiyun broke his vow, and Canghan got his wish. Their fates foretold that they would be parted by life and death, but even if their souls were scattered, they would still choose to go together.

Later, when all was calm and the two had retired from the world, someone asked Canghan how he had melted ice into spring water and made snow give way to flowers. Canghan only smiled. “You need thick skin, a deep understanding of what’s in their heart, and the courage to follow your own heart. Your beloved also has to be softhearted enough.”

“I find the green mountains so enchanting. I imagine the mountains must find me just the same.”

Happy ending, one-on-one
