After Becoming the Horror Boss's Bride

When Su Li was twenty, he went with the upperclassmen from the photography club to Mount Futu in search of the legendary beauty known as "Clouds Rising in a Blaze of Sunset."

That year, they never captured the scenery. Everyone except Su Li died under mysterious circumstances.

The police searched the mountain for over a month, but couldn’t find a single bone belonging to any of the students.

Su Li was the only survivor. He was covered in blood, and when they found him, he was nearly out of his mind.

Most disturbing of all, his pale body was covered in purplish-red marks stretching from his chest down to his inner thighs.

The nurses treating his wounds exchanged uneasy looks. The marks didn’t look like they’d been caused by a beating. They looked more like... rough kisses.

Soon afterward, Su Li dropped out of school and stayed at home, too afraid to go out, for two whole years.

During that time, his parents brought in many renowned psychologists to treat their son, but the results were always disappointing.

They all said the same thing: Su Li wasn’t telling the truth.

Su Li looked at them blankly. Was he really not telling the truth? Or... was the truth he told simply something no one would believe?

Two years passed in a flash. Su Li gradually escaped the nightmares of the past and thought he could finally return to an ordinary life.

Then, one midnight, he heard someone whispering softly in his ear, like a lover calling to him in a tender, lingering voice.

Su Li jolted awake from his dream. The silent room was empty, until the night wind lifted one corner of the curtain.

A tall, uncanny figure stood outside the fourteenth-floor window, its crimson eyes fixed on Su Li’s face.

Su Li’s pupils shrank. Cold sweat soaked his clothes. Terror followed him like a shadow. The truth was, he had never escaped it in the first place.

Because... he had willingly put on the red wedding dress and chosen to become its bride.

The bottom isn’t weak. He had no choice but to have sex with the top to stay alive. Their feelings develop gradually afterward.

Pairing: Obsessive, unhinged, nonhuman top x calm, clever, powerful bottom who only wants to survive

P.S. 1. Not a traditional infinite-flow story. There will be many instances, and the bride instance is just one of them.

2. Plot-focused. The leads’ romance takes up less than half of the story.

Theme: Love follows like a shadow.
