After the Villain Proposed to Her

To raise enough money for her mother's medical treatment, Ming Shu is forced to become a concubine to a wealthy gentleman, marrying him in the hope that her presence will bring him good fortune and recovery.

But the day before the wedding, a scholar proposes to her.

His betrothal gifts are only two things: one hundred taels of gold, and news of the wealthy gentleman's death.

After their marriage, the scholar treats her like a treasure, taking care of everything from washing clothes to cooking, and even personally tending to her mother's medicine.

Ming Shu often sighs, thinking, What more could a wife ask for than a husband like this?

Until one day, Ming Shu lifts the covers and sees the fish tail her husband hadn't managed to hide.

Ming Shu is a little frightened, but it's the first time she's ever seen such a beautiful tail, and her hand moves of its own accord to touch it.

Her husband clutches the bedsheets, his body trembling.

Looking at her husband's slightly reddened eyes, Ming Shu lets out a sigh.

Her husband won't even let her wash a single bowl, so he can't be a monster who would take someone's life.

Oh well, a wife follows her husband wherever he goes. How could she hold a grudge against a little fish?

Mu Huaiqing has plotted for a long time, finally killing the wealthy gentleman and proposing to Ming Shu the day before her wedding.

By day, he plays the part of a gentle, considerate husband. At night, while Ming Shu sleeps, he hurries to kill people and drink their blood to restore his cultivation, all so he can reclaim the mermaid pearl sealed inside Ming Shu's heart.

The seal is strange: only love can break it.

So he tries every way he can to make Ming Shu fall in love with him.

By chance, he discovers that sleeping with Ming Shu lets him maintain his peak cultivation for an entire day.

So he decides that perhaps it's not so bad to leave the mermaid pearl in Ming Shu's heart.

That way, he has an excuse to be with Ming Shu every night...

[Poetic Version]

"In the story of time, the past connects to the future. You are her past, and she is your future. Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, and the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou. Every instant is real, every moment eternal."

He gives everything to connect the past and the future, all to rewrite her fate.
