When Song Ning was twenty-two, his adoptive parents sent him to the Mountain God's temple in a bridal sedan. He was to become the Mountain God's bride.

Red candles flickered outside the temple, the high seats were packed with guests, and thousands of ghosts watched the ceremony. When the blood-red veil was lifted, Song Ning finally saw the Mountain God's hideous face and the man-eating ghosts filling the hall.

Song Ning thought he was done for.

Then a handsome young man suddenly appeared, dressed in a silk robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, and rescued him. One look was enough to last a lifetime.

The young man took Song Ning home to recover.

He treated Song Ning wonderfully.

This man, raised in luxury, washed his hands to prepare meals for him, used his blood to suppress the ghostly energy in Song Ning's body, and shielded him from the ghosts seeking revenge. He even gave him a blood-jade bracelet for protection, taking care of him in every possible way.

They shared a bed and slept in each other's arms.

Before long, Song Ning fell for the young man.

One night, beneath the bright moon, Song Ning was filled with love. Holding thirteen peach blossoms, he planned to confess to the young man, but he unexpectedly caught him taking off his beautiful human disguise, revealing rotting flesh and icy white bones beneath.

The young man was none other than the cruel, vicious Mountain God!

The peach blossoms fell to the ground. Song Ning turned and ran in terror, but vines filled the sky and bound his hands and feet. The Mountain God grabbed him by the neck from behind, his voice cold. “Ningning, are you afraid of me?”

Only then did Song Ning realize that the young man had been deceiving him all along. He had been luring Song Ning in, trying to make him stay in the mountains forever, by his side forever.

A vast mountain range, forests stretching beyond sight, darkness closing in on Song Ning from every direction, and the Mountain God in his silk robe, following him like a shadow. It was like a nightmare.

Song Ning ran in a panic, not daring to look back.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally collapsed in the forest, utterly exhausted.

He watched the Mountain God approach, as alluring as a beautiful ghost. His eyes reddened as he demanded, “Why won't you let me go?”

The Mountain God looked at him tenderly, bent down, and carefully lifted him into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed Song Ning's forehead.

“Because you're my wife.” The Mountain God's voice was gentle but left no room for argument. “You're tired. Come home with me.”

Reader's guide:

1. Song Ning is the uke, Feng Qingxiu is the seme. This is not a historical romance; it takes place in the modern era.

2. There are misunderstandings, misunderstandings, I promise! The seme is the Mountain God, but he's split apart. No angst, trust me, they're actually madly in love. Happy ending!

3. The uke has a magnetic personality and is gorgeous, absolutely stunning! Everyone likes him. The seme's true form is a skeleton, which is pretty scary, so he makes himself beautiful when in human form to seduce the uke. He's quite the looker, even if he's all bones underneath. They're both gorgeous, just in different ways!

Coming soon: After Abandoning the Infinite Big Boss Twice

Ming Zhishui was a top-tier Infinite Dungeon player, until he entered a scenario called [Gods' Forbidden Zone] and failed.

He met a stunningly beautiful NPC who perfectly matched his ideal type and was also the key to clearing the scenario. So Ming Zhishui used him to clear it while promising him forever and swearing to take him out of the scenario.

Later, Ming Zhishui learned that the so-called NPC was actually the god of the [Gods' Forbidden Zone], as well as the biggest boss in the entire Infinite game. Without hesitation, Ming Zhishui chose to kill the god and clear the scenario.

But just as Ming Zhishui was about to leave the [Gods' Forbidden Zone], the god came back to life and dragged him back into the scenario.

After being dragged back, Ming Zhishui had to keep deceiving the god with sweet talk to save his own skin. Every day, he fussed over the god and played the devoted wife, successfully making the god fall head over heels for him.

While deceiving the god, Ming Zhishui also kept searching for a way out of the [Gods' Forbidden Zone].

At last, he found someone who could take his place as the god's wife.

The substitute was greedy, arrogant, and audacious enough to covet the god. He openly showed his jealousy of Ming Zhishui and wanted to take his place as the god's wife.

After learning this, Ming Zhishui struck a deal with the substitute and successfully escaped the [Gods' Forbidden Zone].

As he left, he smiled and gave the scenario one last, brazen farewell. “Goodbye, Forbidden Zone. Farewell, Lord God.” Then he left without hesitation and even locked the scenario's gates behind him.

Ming Zhishui had thoroughly enraged the god.

That very day, a wanted notice for Ming Zhishui rang throughout the entire Infinite game.

“Capture Ming Zhishui alive. Capture Ming Zhishui alive, or capture Ming Zhishui alive.”

The god of the [Gods' Forbidden Zone] is the most terrifying being in the entire Infinite game, and the only god in it. Ghosts and monsters bow to him, while players avoid him like the plague.

Ming Zhishui had deceived the god's affections twice and successfully escaped back to the real world. Just as he thought he was safe, he discovered that switching identity tags with the substitute meant he had to replay the entire Infinite game.

Now he faced not only the god's pursuit, but also all manner of terrifying ghosts and monsters, as well as players hungry for the bounty.

Ming Zhishui thought he was done for.
