The Prince of the Underworld Is My Ghost-Hunting Partner

[First Novel, Many Shortcomings]

After her parents were brutally killed three years ago, Chang Xi vowed to slay every vicious ghost in the world, gather her parents' souls, and help them enter the cycle of reincarnation again.

An ancient book records:

Use jade to make the Six Nether Objects, and offer them in ceremony to Heaven, Earth, and the four directions. When the ritual objects and rites are complete, the wandering souls will journey to the Yellow Springs.

Finding these six divine jades was the only way to fulfill her wish.

And she was the only person in the world who could slay vicious ghosts, wield divine jade, enter the Yellow Springs, control souls, and return from the dead.

Before she could find the divine jades, a gentle, refined young man from the Yellow Springs came offering himself to her. He was willing to be a lowly servant, asking only that she take pity on him and give him shelter.

When she exorcised ghosts, he hurried to hand her a blade. When she killed, he helped set fires. When she stole jade, he helped carry the sack. Wherever they went, no ghosts survived and no Nether Jade remained.

Later, she was forced to marry the new ruler of the underworld, whom she had never met. Everyone said the new Nether Lord was cruel by nature, and they all lamented Chang Xi's misfortune.

On their wedding night, she pressed a dagger to the man's neck, only to discover that her husband was the little servant who had always obeyed her.

Chang Xi: “...”

You helped me kill all those ghosts, and you were the Ghost King all along? Was this some kind of sting operation?

The Nether Lord, soon to face a long, difficult campaign to win back his wife: “My lady, please let me explain...”

Beneath the Yellow Springs, undercurrents churned.

As a prince of the underworld, Yi Yu was forced into the struggle for the throne. To gain support, he approached the goddess of the Xuansu Clan, pretending to be close to her while actually using her.

He never expected to fail to seduce the goddess and fall for her himself.

She traveled to the ends of the earth in search of divine jade, and he followed her all the way, accompanying her on painted boats as they listened to the rain, admired flowers in the snow, and sought smoke on the great desert...

He wanted to join hands with her for life, until their hair turned white.

Coming Soon: Marrying the Traitor (Dual Rebirth)

Blurb:

[Clear-Headed, Quirky, Irresistible Beauty x Tragic, Sickly, Beautiful Black Lotus]

In her previous life, Chu Zhaojin was a highborn princess of the Xiao Kingdom. After her country fell, she became a prisoner in the enemy nation of Dayin. There, she met a pitiful cellmate who had suffered even more than she had.

The man lay in the mud, covered in wounds. His eyes had been gouged out, and he had little time left.

Moved by compassion, Chu Zhaojin reached out to him. “You can't see, so I'll guide you along the road to the Yellow Springs.”

-

After being reborn before her kingdom's fall, Chu Zhaojin resolutely agreed to the enemy nation's demand that she marry into their royal family. She intended to save her country and change the fate she'd suffered in her previous life.

On their wedding night, red candles flickered, and the gloomy, handsome face before her overlapped with the one in her memories.

At first glance, wasn't this the madman who hid his dark side behind a gentle facade, the one she'd encountered on the journey to her wedding?

Twisted and sinister, bloodthirsty and murderous. He had made her suffer terribly.

At second glance, wasn't this her cellmate from her previous life?

In the end, she'd even generously shared a cup of poisoned wine with him, sparing him the agony of being tortured to death.

Chu Zhaojin: Well, what kind of hellish start is this?

Fine. Since she couldn't beat him or escape, she decided to placate her sickly husband first.

With tears in her eyes, she gazed up shyly and kissed the scars covering the man's body. “Husband, does it hurt?”

His long, cold fingers caressed her chin. A tender yet twisted smile filled his eyes. “My lady, stop pretending. It won't work on me.”

-

When her plan to save him seemed to fail, Chu Zhaojin packed her bags and was just about to flee from this mad, tragic, beautiful man.

When she turned around, her husband, who had killed the emperor and his own father, was already standing upon the imperial throne, blocking every escape route.

Chu Zhaojin trembled with fear, while everyone else shed tears over the tragic fate that awaited her.

But under the gaze of thousands, the cold, ruthless traitor washed the blood from his hands.

He tied a rope around his own neck and willingly placed the other end in Chu Zhaojin's hand. “Take me away like you did before. Don't leave me alone.”

**In this life, Chu Zhaojin wanted to make up for many of her past regrets. But she never imagined that she herself was someone's regret.

For the sake of her new life, he endured decades of divine punishment, living in a state worse than death, and Chu Zhaojin never knew.
