Shan Ying transmigrates.

To escape the misfortune of being forced into a ghost marriage, she flees into a dark mountain forest. Behind her, the fake groom curses and threatens her, saying there's a vicious ghost in the mountains, with a blue-green face and fangs, that loves to dig out hearts and eat people. He curses Shan Ying to die without a proper burial.

Shan Ying scoffs. "Superstitious nonsense."

But as the setting sun spills blood-red light over a dilapidated shrine and the breeze whispers like a ghost, Shan Ying, who has always believed there are no ghosts in the world, is terrified when a gaunt young man suddenly appears behind her.

Shan Ying: "!"

"There's a ghost!"

Song Qichi tilts his head in confusion and points at himself, smiling. "A ghost... are you talking about me?"

Song Qichi isn't some evil, murderous ghost. On the contrary, he's kindhearted. Seeing Shan Ying in such a sorry state, he asks no questions, only thoughtfully takes her home and looks after her.

Shan Ying feels safe, thinking that life will pass by in this quiet, uneventful way.

But one day, someone comes to visit. The moment yellow paper fills the sky and flutters to the ground, everything before Shan Ying's eyes changes. The courtyard where she usually loves to lie in a rocking chair and bask in the sun becomes a desolate, abandoned shrine, its tabletop covered with crooked memorial tablets.

The ink-black writing fills Shan Ying with dread. Three characters she knows all too well:

Song Qichi.

Before Shan Ying can calm herself, Song Qichi reveals his true form. His jade-white face is rotting away, exposing bare bone. Inside him are sticky, icy red threads coiled together like snakes. In his hands is a fruit plate of pastries he prepared for her, giving off a nauseating stench of decay.

He only gazes at Shan Ying in silence, his sticky stare like a curved blade, hooked into her flesh.

Unconcealed, greedy, and deranged.

"Shan Ying," Song Qichi asks softly with a gentle laugh, "what's wrong? What do you see?"

Bright, straightforward ray of sunshine * yandere, dark and twisted

1. Jiang Lingning transmigrates to a cultivation world and marries the wild man she picked up.

The man is strikingly beautiful, with a cool, elegant charm. He's quiet and mild-mannered, and due to his amnesia, he has a few harmless oddities in his behavior and understanding of things. After they marry, he goes out to work, takes care of all the housework, gives her every spirit stone and pill he earns, and even spends every day and night nourishing and repairing her damaged spiritual roots.

Jiang Lingning thinks her life is peaceful and happy.

One day, she has a nightmare.

She dreams that she's the heroine of an erotic novel called Jiang Yan. She's delicate and soft, with a breath like orchids. Her body makes her an excellent cultivation vessel, and she's been infected with a Love-and-Union Gu, so the various male leads toy with her as they please and take possession of her body.

And her husband?

While they undress and lose themselves in passion, he remains on the other side of a window, behind a door, used to stir her emotions and arousal: a useless husband who is "blind and deaf."

Jiang Lingning means to ignore the nightmare, but then she sees one of the male leads. He smiles. "Jiang Yan, have you had enough? It's time to go to the Wentian Sect."

2. Thinking of the novel's explicit scenes, Jiang Lingning runs away. When she meets him again, she's a prisoner suffering from the Love-and-Union Gu, and her husband is the brutal, violent Demon Lord who destroyed the Wentian Sect.

He's so excited that even human skin can't contain him.

Thick black slime, dark as a solid, flows from his seven orifices, covered in countless eyes. Joy and brutality intertwine in their gaze. The slime stretches downward, and sticky, icy tentacles cling to her skin. He lets out a satisfied sigh:

"I know. They all deceived you and forced you to leave me."

"Beg me, A Ning."

"Beg me, and I'll satisfy you."

*

He sees a rotting body give rise to new life. Who is she? Could she be one of his kind? So he puts on a human skin and seeks her out.

One-on-one, both chaste, happy ending.
