A court historian condemned the Hu clan in his writings: Born among the lowly and raised in the Prince of Yan's residence, she won His Majesty's favor. Yet this woman was impossible to tame, and toyed with the imperial power of the realm.

Hu Ying followed two men in her life.

The first was Ming Ying, praised throughout the land as the Young Master Who Gathered Fireflies. He taught her the classics, washed her skirts, and showed her what kindness and betrayal, love and hate meant.

When she was young, Hu Ying was so dim and insignificant, while the Young Master Who Gathered Fireflies shone with dazzling brilliance. She did not dare look at him.

She only knew that it was gratitude, and love too.

Later, a great fire broke out at their woodland retreat, and Ming Ying vanished without a trace.

The last was a bloodthirsty, cold-blooded monster

With one stroke, he severed a bandit's neck. Then he lifted his sword and used it to raise her skirt, wiping away the blood. The shadows of the candles and the ring of steel were all eclipsed by He Rang's bewitchingly eerie face, impossible to tell from a demon's or a Buddha's.

Born in a time of chaos, Hu Ying knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to keep a firm grip on He Rang, a blade steeped in poison.

She said she could wash clothes and cook, but He Rang replied that the Prince of Yan's residence had no shortage of servants.

She said she was timid and docile, surely the easiest servant to handle. She could also read and had studied a little.

After that, He Rang ordered her to kneel by his bed every night and read him stories until he fell asleep. It seemed to work wonders.

Later, He Rang finally learned that another man held an unshakable place in her heart.

From then on, every word read at his bedside felt like a knife carving into his bones. He could no longer bear to hear them.

[About This Novel]

#Cruel executioner demon monk x gentle, sheltered young widow#

1. Happy ending. The heroine only pretends to be infertile. The heroine is a virgin; the hero is not.

2. He pursues her throughout, with a full-on groveling arc; coercive romance and a pregnancy escape; they save and heal each other.

3. This novel will not be abandoned, and updates are reliable. I hope you'll stay~

1.

Xue Xuanying is infertile. Her husband is hopelessly addicted to gambling, and their neighbor is an executioner whom everyone avoids, tasked with beheading criminals.

When her husband demands that she seduce the executioner Ying Wuxiang, she resists with her life and is beaten to death by her husband.

After her death, she becomes a solitary ghost and witnesses Ying Wuxiang's life:

Ying Wuxiang abandons his blade and becomes a monk. He masters divination and incantations, becoming an elegant, distinguished black-robed chancellor at court, as well as the Crown Prince's sole medicinal catalyst. He holds the dynasty's lifeline in his hands, is addicted to killing, and grinds human bones into prayer beads.

In the end, he dies suddenly in his sleep, blood pouring from all seven orifices.

People say Heaven has eyes and that Heaven has finally claimed the demon monk. Yet after Ying Wuxiang's body is cremated, people fight over his ashes and revere them as sacred relics.

2.

Xue Xuanying is reborn. At this point, Ying Wuxiang has yet to become a demon monk.

To find a way to survive, Xue Xuanying brings him a jug of wine and pleads, "Second Master Ying, please accept this wine. When my father-in-law is punished, make sure he has an easy passage."

Xue Xuanying does not know that after Ying Wuxiang drinks the wine, he regards her as his private possession, cuts off every escape, and vows to keep her imprisoned at his side.

3.

Ying Wuxiang was a strange child even before he was born. His birth mother went mad while carrying him, then died in childbirth. The village doctor who adopted him also died suddenly, and Ying Wuxiang became a walking ill omen.

Ying Wuxiang believes he has no need for love or family ties to burden him. He lives only to witness the ugliness of humanity.

And yet Xue Xuanying becomes the one weakness he cannot understand.

His heart had been a still, barren pond for twenty years, but every tear Xue Xuanying shed raised an irresistible storm.
