When Jin He woke up after getting drunk, she discovered she'd slept with a young man she'd only met once.
Good news: the young man was quite handsome.
Bad news: she's married.
And her husband is Zhu Rong, the Demon Venerable and ruler of the Demon Realm.
The frail-looking young man in front of her is clearly some nameless little demon from the Demon Realm. The Demon Venerable could crush him more easily than an ant.
Jin He's husband, the Demon Venerable, is cruel, bloodthirsty, and suspicious.
And... he never comes home.
They aren't close, and the marriage hasn't been consummated.
They've met so few times she can count them on one hand.
If the Demon Venerable finds out, both she and the young man will die.
After thinking it over again and again, Jin He decides to come clean and ask for leniency.
She spreads out paper, brush, ink, and inkstone on the table, then writes a heartfelt divorce letter.
It's all to save her life and the life of this innocent young man.
Actually, that's not true.
Most importantly, she's finally found a perfectly reasonable excuse to run away!
"My lord Demon Venerable, by the time you read this letter, I'll be gone. I hear life is hard for you, and I feel terribly sorry about it. To lighten your burden, I've run off with someone else. This is all I can do for you."
Jin He was caught and brought back.
Frightened, she drooped her fluffy ears, her tail swaying behind her as she gazed beseechingly at the furious, handsome man in front of her.
Why had nobody told her...
That her husband, with whom she had a marriage in name only, and this young man were the same person?
