My Husband Is a Tentacle Monster

Scheming, self-serving heroine and love-struck tentacle monster male lead

The thing Ning Zhi regretted most was saving her husband from the research institute where he worked on the day the apocalypse broke out.

Because after that day, Ning Zhi awakened and discovered she was merely a selfish, self-serving supporting character in an apocalyptic novel, destined for a gruesome death.

And her husband was the most deeply hidden and most terrifying monster in the novel: a tentacled creature disguised as a human.

Now Ning Zhi had no choice but to live with the monster.

At first, she deceived him. Later, she used him, doing her best to maximize her own benefits...

-

His wife didn't love him.

Though she put on a good act and was always saying sweet things, her heartbeat and scent couldn't lie to him.

She was afraid of him.

But... he didn't mind.

Because his wife was so weak, so weak that she had to carefully deceive him and cling to him to survive. She was destined to never leave him.

That was just fine.

...Until his wife really did leave. When he tracked her down, he saw her standing beside another male, smiling at those fellows with the smile that should have belonged to him...

He appeared before his wife again, but her scent was full of wariness, coldness, and rejection.

"I don't want a divorce. Give me another chance."

He tried to win her back:

"I'll fulfill my duties as your husband. Don't leave me."

His wife replied coldly, "Get lost."

At that moment, his limbs almost burst into violent motion, tearing open his skin.

He was coming apart.

[A bumpy road to winning back his wife for a love-struck nonhuman. Happy ending.]

-

Before long, something happened that made Ning Zhi regret things even more.

His behavior started to resemble that of a real human more and more. He had even learned to cry and play the victim.

The man knelt before her, gripping her hand tightly, while the black tentacles splitting from his body coiled around her ankles.

A few glistening tears clung to his lashes as a nearly pleading expression appeared on his beautiful, pale face. "Zhi Zhi, you can't abandon me..."

Ning Zhi remained unmoved. "I can."

"No, you can't, because..."

He pursed his lips. A gorgeous blush colored his porcelain-white cheeks, while his unshed tears and tearstains made his accusation seem utterly aggrieved:

"I'm pregnant. You can't abandon me and our child."

Ning Zhi: ...???

No, wait, what???
