[Darkened Ex-Husband x Ruthless Princess]
[Your Loyal Hound Has Turned Dark]
Stuck at a cultivation bottleneck for years, I shared an intimate night with one of my hidden guards. That was how I learned his heart could be refined into a glazed jade gem that would help me break through my cultivation realm and claim the throne.
Looking at the young man before me, who was bent on dying, I cupped his face and said gently, "Once you turn a hundred, we’ll get married."
He was so easy to fool. He did everything he could to please me, braving any danger for my sake, until he finally cultivated a heart of glazed jade.
I kept my promise, too, and made him my consort.
In the second year of our marriage, he helped me kill all my political rivals, only for me to turn on him and crush his bones and extract his marrow.
Holding the glazed jade heart I had long coveted, I ordered a grand burial for my consort and ascended the throne.
The throne I had seized was far from secure. Surrounded by demons, I had no choice but to seek help from the Ghost King.
He said he would help me, but only if I dismissed my male lovers and married him.
"I’ve had my heart replaced. I can’t fall in love."
"That’s fine." He gave a strange little smile.
I lived quite comfortably after our wedding. Apart from being unable to leave the Ghost Realm without permission, my new husband and I always got along peacefully.
Until one day, I caught a glimpse of the Ghost King removing his skull mask. Beneath it was an extraordinarily handsome face.
It was exactly the same as my ex-husband’s.

Reader’s Guide:
1. One-on-one romance, female lead is not a virgin, male lead is a virgin, happy ending. The main story is in third person. My own take on the setting, with plenty of original lore.
2. Blood debts become debts of love: a storm of love and hate, with lots of angst for the male lead. The female lead is a career-driven lunatic, and after replacing her heart, she feels even less.
3. (Ad space available)
