Unflappable × Sweet on the Outside, Dark Within

Jiang Moxue was a cultivation prodigy from the Jiang family of Yangzhou, blessed with extraordinary talent. But after her entire clan was wiped out, her unstable state of mind caused her to go berserk.

While tracking down her enemies, she accidentally injured an ordinary man, and badly.

The man was handsome and gentle, but unfortunately frail, always looking sickly. Jiang Moxue was eager to avenge herself and had no intention of getting too involved with him. She planned to heal him and then leave.

But when his family came looking for him, she learned that he had fled an arranged marriage and ended up here. He forced himself to appear strong as he agreed to go with his family. Jiang Moxue grew anxious. "Is there really no other way?"

The man looked weakly at her. "If Miss Jiang would help me..."

Somehow, they ended up married. Jiang Moxue thought she had gained a companion on her path to revenge. How could she have known that before long, she would be killed in an attack by the righteous factions because she was a member of the demon clan?

When she opened her eyes again, it was three hundred years later. The world had changed beyond recognition, and everyone and everything had moved on...

Jiang Moxue: Wait, how is my nominal husband still alive?

Yin Shao once met a demon unlike any other. She should have been as ruthless and wicked as he was, but she was far too kind to be a demon.

She took care of him, worried about him, and gazed at him with clear, moon-bright eyes as she said, "You have to get better soon."

She never even suspected that he was lying to her.

He knew she felt sorry for him, so he pretended to be frail, all to keep her from growing to despise him.

That day, the sky was dark and gloomy, just as it had been three hundred years ago when she died. Drenched in blood, Yin Shao walked across the corpses. His former gentleness was gone, and dense demonic energy blanketed the world. His eyes were wild with the urge to kill.

He took her back to the Demon Palace and covered her eyes. He kissed her lips again and again, trembling as he said, "Don't hate me... please?" His voice was full of pleading.

Jiang Moxue: Why is he having an even harder time accepting this than I am?
