[Shamelessly Fawning Female Lead VS Cold, World-Weary, Truly Dark Male Lead]

[Love After Marriage | A Little Groveling | Love and Hate | 1v1 HE]

Chi Yingwan transmigrated fourteen times and died thirteen.

To find her mission target, she followed her nominal husband, Ji Zhiyi, north as they pursued the Shadow Pavilion, which the whole martial world wanted dead.

As it turned out, she was part of the Shadow Pavilion herself...

No matter. As long as she kept her identity well hidden, she could lay low until the mission was over.

Ji Zhiyi had lived through far too many lifetimes. He was sick of it all.

Then something called the System told him that if he completed a mission, it would grant him one wish.

Fine. Once he had finished using this monster, he would let the filth of the world fall into eternal silence beneath his sword.

When he opened his eyes again, he had acquired a strange wife.

She would burst into tears to save her life, could flatter someone for a whole hour, and was both timid and noisy.

She ran at the first sign of danger, yet was especially attentive to his mission target, He Lianxi.

When He Lianxi got beaten up, she would say, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never look down on a poor young man..."

She had never tried to comfort him like that. It annoyed him so much he wanted to kill someone.

[Reading Guide]

1. Both leads are each other's only partners.

2. The male lead is genuinely unhinged. He acts as soon as he feels like it, has a twisted mind, and is forever wavering between "Just kill her" and "Let's wait and see."

3. The male lead falls first. Love after marriage. The female lead's resolve to return home runs through the whole story.

4. The story is mainly sweet, but beware of angst.

5. There are scenes of the male lead groveling to win her back, with a little melodrama.

6. The male lead really did personally kill the female lead in all her first thirteen lives.

7. The original novel's leads become background characters later on.

Theme: Stay true to yourself and overcome adversity.
