[The Ex-Wife Chasing Her Husband to the Crematorium] Amnesiac God x Vengeful Ghost King
Blurb:
It was cold the day I married Xie Zhi. He sat in his wheelchair and draped his coat over my shoulders.
Later, he repeatedly helped me escape danger. I became immersed in his tenderness, pitied his frailty, and placed him first in my heart.
To remove the restriction inside him, I defied fate, cleansed my spiritual roots, and killed a divine beast. I went from an ordinary person with poor talent and no chance of entering the immortal path to a "demon" feared by the cultivation sects.
Only later did I learn that he wasn't the sickly man everyone thought he was. He was the Ghost King, a figure who made evil spirits tremble. After touching me, he would disgustedly wipe his hands clean with a handkerchief. When people suspected I was a demon, he stood among the crowd and watched coldly. The talismans he personally taught me to draw were actually death charms sealing the vital point of my fate.
He was only good to me because I was the only one who could remove the restriction inside him.
Eight years ago, Xie Zhi was placed under a restriction by a stranger called Lady Lantern. Even after becoming the Ghost King, feared by evil spirits, he couldn't escape its torment.
As it happened, Lady Lantern lost her memories and became A Yan, Xie Zhi's new bride.
Xie Zhi had always known that A Yan was a woman who repaid every kindness. To coax the method of removing the restriction out of her, he could only keep treating her well until she let down her guard.
When evil spirits invaded her, he purified her with his own blood.
When her stepsister bullied her, he helped her get even.
When she said she needed a handy magical weapon, he gave her the Ghost Realm's greatest treasure.
His efforts finally paid off. She did indeed fall for him, step by step, and was willing to give up her life to remove the restriction for him.
Those who knew the truth sometimes laughed at her for being foolish and pitiful, and sometimes sighed at her foolish devotion.
Xie Zhi watched coldly, believing he would never fall in love.
It wasn't until he saw her framed while trying to save him, made to drink a potion that revealed demons, then taken to the Netherworld, where she was about to lose her soul forever, that he finally panicked.
He exposed his identity as the Ghost King without hesitation, tore open the gates to the Netherworld, found her, and held out a hand. "A Yan, come home with me."
He thought he could let go of all his hatred and start over with her. As long as he loved her, none of the hatred between them would matter.
He had planned for every possibility, but never imagined she would regain her memories.
She looked at him with scorn. "Xie Zhi, have you forgotten that I was the one who placed the restriction inside you? You haven't actually fallen for me, have you?"
