After the Sickly Beauty Marries the Paranoid Evil God by Contract

A sweet, doting romance, with the gong spoiling the shou

An innocent-looking but secretly sinister evil god gong x a naive, slow-witted, frail beauty shou

Tan Song has been sickly since childhood. He has no parents, and he can also see things that ordinary people can't.

Even though he's obedient and well-behaved, no one dares get close to him.

One day, Tan Song's adoptive father learns by chance that Tan Song has the rare constitution of a lone star of ill fortune, destined not only to bring about his parents' deaths but also to kill the people around him. So, under the pretext of arranging an engagement for Tan Song, his adoptive father sends the troublesome, sickly omen off to someone else.

Tan Song, meanwhile, has no idea what's going on. Though he doesn't want to, he believes his adoptive father's lies: the only son of the Gu family, Gu Yu, has a fate very similar to his own, and if Tan Song marries him, the evil spirits will stop bothering him.

The only drawback, unfortunately, is that the young master of the Gu family is moody and bad-tempered, and hard for ordinary people to approach.

So when Tan Song sees Gu Yu for the first time, Gu Yu is just as the rumors described: standing in front of him with a blank expression. His icy gaze makes Tan Song so frightened that he doesn't dare move.

On their wedding night, Tan Song takes the initiative and suggests that he and Gu Yu sleep in separate rooms. He ignores Gu Yu's reaction and hurries off to the guest room with his pillow, only to be tormented by evil spirits and come slinking back.

Tan Song snuggles up beside Gu Yu. The next second, Gu Yu grabs his arm and pulls him under the covers. Thinking he must have accidentally upset the young master, Tan Song gets ready to beg for mercy.

He squeezes his eyes shut, both hands pressed against Gu Yu's chest. Beneath his palms, Gu Yu's heart pounds wildly. The person holding him draws close and leans toward his ear.

At the same time, a voice heavy with ragged breaths speaks, its tone tinged with a hint of caution:

"I'm sorry."

"Did I scare you?"

After marrying Gu Yu, Tan Song discovers that Gu Yu isn't nearly as frightening as the rumors say.

On the contrary, Gu Yu is very gentle with him and does his best to give him whatever he wants.

More importantly, when Tan Song is with Gu Yu, the evil spirits really do leave him alone.

So Tan Song goes further and further, doing everything he can to stay with Gu Yu.

...Even seeking more than just physical contact.

But Gu Yu, who is always gentle with him, pushes him away whenever that happens.

Tan Song finds this strange, but can't figure out why.

Then one day, Tan Song opens the door and accidentally catches Gu Yu curled up in his room.

The usually courteous young master is clutching Tan Song's clothes and repeatedly smelling the scent on them. Tentacles extend from his back, nearly filling the entire room. On the floor lies a book titled A Guide to Imitating Humans.

The next second, the tentacles wrap tightly around Tan Song's slender waist.
