A cool-headed, sarcastic heroine who only wants to survive × A aloof hero who pretends to seduce her so he can change his fate
Chen Yin transmigrates into a minor character in an adult novel she only skimmed. She tries to kill the male lead, but he's rescued at the last moment by Yu Qing'an, the first male lead, and she is killed.
Chen Yin doesn't want to die.
Facing the male lead, Chen Yin forces down the murderous impulse imposed on her by the plot and manages to save her own life. She thinks that as long as she waits safely for Yu Qing'an to come and take the man away, she'll escape her death.
But one day passes, then two... then many more, and Yu Qing'an is nowhere to be seen.
Meanwhile, her frail husband, who can barely take care of himself, is either covered in blood after a rampaging monster attacks him, or suddenly collapses for no reason and comes close to death.
Whenever this happens, she feels a terrifying premonition that she's about to die.
She can't help wondering:
...Is this story really so single-minded about its plot?
And can someone explain why, every time Qin Yushu comes close to death, the look in his eyes grows more burning, and he acts even more... affected around her?
It seems like... he's trying to seduce her...
That can't be right... Isn't he into men?
In just three short years:
Brilliant genius, disgraced prisoner, useless cultivator.
When Qin Yushu became a prisoner, he had a nightmare. The worst part was that the dream was gradually becoming reality.
In his dream, the Ghost King was supposed to kill him. As he watched her stiffly lower the hand that had been gripping his throat, he felt a glimmer of hope for the first time.
Be the Ghost King's male consort or a man's plaything? Qin Yushu decisively chose the former.
To stay by the Ghost King's side, he needed to win her favor. The Ghost Clan knew nothing of love. Though she didn't kill him, she never paid him any attention either.
To escape the fate he had seen in his dream, the usually aloof and self-controlled man decided to seduce her, conquer her, and win her over.
