My Husband Went Mad After I Was Possessed

This was the second year after Zhu Qingling married into the Third Prince's household.

She was possessed by a soul from another world.

Zhu Qingling, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's household, was the Empress Dowager's grandniece. She had been chosen as a companion to the princess at a young age and often stayed in the palace.

Everyone knew that Zhu Qingling was close to the princess's brother, the Crown Prince. They assumed that once she came of age, she'd be granted the title of Crown Princess.

But when the imperial edict came, Zhu Qingling was married into the Third Prince's household.

The Third Prince, Chu Yu, was a monster born when the mad consort of the Cold Palace cut open her own belly. He was born with blood-red eyes and a blank expression, like an evil spirit.

Not a single young woman who had entered the Third Prince's household had ever come out alive.

Everyone lamented Zhu Qingling's tragic fate.

Including the soul from another world.

Zhu Qingling overheard her constantly talking to the air, going on about a strategy to win someone's affection, how the Crown Prince would ascend the throne, and how she had to become empress...

The otherworldly soul disliked Chu Yu. She made a nuisance of herself in the Third Prince's household, doing everything she could to make him hate her so he would divorce her.

She took advantage of the fact that Zhu Qingling had once saved Chu Yu's life, and that she was now the Third Prince's consort, to slap him and push him into the icy lake.

Chu Yu watched coldly and never retaliated.

But later, she went too far. The Third Prince's consort hit on the Crown Prince and went to the Eastern Palace in broad daylight, intent on seducing him.

That day, Chu Yu stormed into the Eastern Palace with a blade in hand. It nearly ended in bloodshed.

Zhu Qingling could take no more. After enormous effort, she finally returned to her own body.

But the darkness she found herself in sent her into a panic.

She was locked in a dark room, her hands and feet bound. Chu Yu had ordered a golden cage built and, to keep the Third Prince's consort from getting into trouble, had begun keeping her like a treasured beauty hidden away.

Watching the evil spirit Chu Yu approach, Zhu Qingling was terrified. "Husband, can we talk this out?"

"Witch, if you don't tell me the truth, I'll make sure you die here."

Chu Yu gripped her chin. As he moved her, Zhu Qingling realized how shameful her current position was, and blushed.

No one believed she loved Chu Yu, not even Chu Yu himself.

Zhu Qingling sighed and said helplessly, "Then could you kill me in a more ordinary way?"

Dying like this would be so embarrassing.
