I’d just transmigrated when a prince from the Great Continent found me. I was nearly executed as an ill omen when an envoy from the demon realm suddenly arrived with an announcement: the Demon King wanted to marry someone who had descended from the heavens.
Rumor had it the Demon King was strange and arrogant, ugly, with ten eyes and eighteen arms, and that he ate young maidens. Sending me off to marry him was no different from throwing me into a fire.
But it had come to this, so I’d just have to take things as they came.
After a month of intensive training, I was sent off to take up my new post as the Demon King’s spouse. He looked just like the rumors said, and my heart sank at last.
On our wedding night, I was already planning my will. But the Demon King wouldn’t even look at me. He didn’t sleep with me, either. He went off to the council chamber by himself.
It seemed the Demon King had put me on hold. The servants treated me well and obeyed my every wish, aside from refusing to let me leave, but the Demon King never even stayed in the same room as me.
One full-moon night, I saw him performing some evil ritual in the underground palace. When he realized I was spying on him, all ten of his eyes darted around nervously.
The purpose of his evil ritual was to figure out how to make his wife fall for him.
I found the ugly guy rather endearing now. I shook all eighteen of his hands one by one and said, “Nice to meet you. We’ll need to spend time together after we’re married if I’m going to discover your charms. Let’s start sleeping together tonight.”
The Demon King’s whole face turned bright red. His hands nearly tied themselves into knots, but he managed to nod with an air of composure.
Synopsis written 2024.6.10
Note:
This is a classic, old-fashioned Western fantasy romance, with my own take on the genre, written to indulge my personal tastes.
It’s on the shorter side, with no career plot, just romance.
