You Smell So Sweet!

-

The Charm Demon wreaks havoc across the eight wastelands, and terror grips the land.

Just then, Li Wenge, the master of the Sword Pavilion, finishes her meditation, leaves seclusion, and descends from the mountain.

As soon as the pavilion doors open, she finds the place packed three deep with people. Their cries rise one after another, all begging her to lead her disciples down the mountain at once to slay the demon and uphold the righteous path.

Li Wenge weighs her empty wine flask and yawns slowly. "I've been in seclusion too long. I'm a little hungry."

The people of the Sword Pavilion: ...

As they watch Li Wenge stagger down the mountain, no one could ever have guessed that the master of the Sword Pavilion has a little-known hobby:

Eating demon hearts.

*

Feng Li has been a professional Charm Demon for six hundred years.

As the foremost demon in the Demon Realm, he enjoys the purest vital essence of cultivators. The righteous immortal sects despise him, and he has long held the top spot on their sects' kill list.

So there is no need for anyone to spread the news that the Sword Pavilion's master has left seclusion. Some demons catch the scent and come running.

Feng Li: Mm... She smells delicious.

She must taste great.

He travels through the night and finally finds the cultivator who has left demons drooling at a wonton shop at the foot of the mountain. It turns out to be a pretty young lady.

This is right up his alley.

So, on the road south, as Li Wenge rides her horse, she comes across a poor young man who has been sacrificed to a great demon. He wears a vermilion wedding robe, with red silk covering his eyes

Li Wenge lifts his chin and thinks:

Mm, he smells delicious.

He must taste great.

She raises a hand and gently unties the silk ribbon. Revealed is a pair of eyes that could ensnare the soul.

Li Wenge stares into his pupils. Her gaze shifts from cool and impassive to... increasingly dazed.

Feng Li smiles.

The next moment, she looks lovestruck and slowly says, "You're so special. You're different from all the men I've known. There's a sense of distance about you... I want to get to know you, to know what you're thinking, and yet it feels like there's a protective layer around you. I don't want to break through it."

Feng Li: ?

"Just looking at you, I feel like you're about to fall apart." Li Wenge reaches out to him. "Come with me, young master?"

Feng Li is stunned for a moment, then hesitantly raises his hands to touch her palm, lowering his eyes in thought:

So she's fallen in love with me, right?

Why...

Does something feel a little off?

My Wife-Lord Is Heartless (Gender-Reversed Society) - What should you do if your beautiful husband is so cold? Ji Mingzhao: Add it to your favorites, and I'll tell you my brilliant plan!

Ji Mingzhao is the second princess in a gender-reversed novel, an unremarkable, plain-looking cannon-fodder supporting character who can do nothing but wield weapons.

Though she's a legitimate princess, she has no taste for refined arts. On top of that, she was unruly as a child. She's no match for her elder sister, the heroine, or her charming younger sister, and her father dislikes her even more.

The Battle of Wubei left a hideous scar on her face and cost Ji Mingzhao any chance of becoming crown princess.

But she is perfectly content, happily picking up a handsome husband her elder sister has no use for. Unfortunately, her beautiful husband is terribly cold-hearted. No matter how she tries to win his favor, he remains distant and indifferent.

Ji Mingzhao: Well, I suppose this is how life will be from now on.

Then one day, her usually cold husband suddenly becomes affectionate and tugs at her sleeve, begging her to stay the night.

Ji Mingzhao: I! Knew! Gold! Would! Shine! Eventually!

Until the day she witnesses him hand over a life-saving talisman to the elder sister who has repeatedly tried to kill her.

Ji Mingzhao: ...

*

Fortunately, she still manages to escape with her life.

*

In the thirty-sixth year of the Wenzhen era, Ji Mingzhao seizes the Eastern Palace.

With a new ruler on the throne, it is only natural for people to curry favor by introducing talented and handsome men. Whether it's just flirtation or a sincere attempt to please her

Ji Mingzhao accepts them all.

After all, the household is peaceful, and her usually magnanimous primary husband won't say a thing.

Until one late night.

"So hot... Lan Zheng... What did you give me to drink...?"

The room is silent. The only answer is warm, ragged breathing and a salty kiss.

In a daze, she hears someone whimper by her ear:

"...I beg you to take pity on me, my wife-lord."

"Love me one more time."
