The Sickly Beauty Lies Flat and Lets Herself Be Spoiled After a Substitute Marriage

[Sickly beauty mountain god shou x gloomy, sinister evil god gong]

Ye Jingqiu was so sickly he had to catch his breath every few steps. His family hated him and doted only on their adopted son. His father called him a disgusting monster, his older brother avoided him, and even his fiance said he only saw him as a replacement.

Then the evil god's temple, worshipped by the Ye family, demanded a bride as a sacrifice. To protect their adopted son, Ye Jingqiu's family pushed him forward to take the other's place.

Ye Jingqiu wasn't afraid. After all, he'd been diagnosed with cancer and didn't have long to live. Rather than go on suffering from his illness and this world, he might as well die at the hands of the evil god.

On their wedding night, a pair of chilling hands wound around his waist. A shadow stared at his pale neck and frail body, breathing out a stream of icy air.

The murderous chill spread through Ye Jingqiu's whole body, but he raised his head and kissed the deity, calm and composed. He whispered a plea: "Great deity, please be gentle."

Let him die a little more easily.

His soft lips struck the deity's soul, leaving its incorporeal form so startled it blurred.

After that night, things around Ye Jingqiu grew increasingly strange.

For instance, his hands, long since disabled, returned to normal, and he could play the piano again.

The adopted son was dropped by his entertainment company and suffered one misfortune after another. His father and brother climbed the mountain to beg for mercy, and his fiance came to his knees to beg him to get back together.

Of course, some evil god bundled them all up and tossed them back down the mountain.

Meanwhile, the evil god who'd said he would kill Ye Jingqiu now tried every trick in the book to get him to take his medicine. He used thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to treat him and poured who knew how much of his own heart's blood into Ye Jingqiu's body.

Even when Ye Jingqiu's health improved and he went down the mountain, the god secretly followed him.

With his looks and abilities, and no longer held back by his family, Ye Jingqiu soon became an internet sensation.

Later, on a variety show, his fiance fell to his knees before him. "Jingqiu, leave him and come back to me."

Leave him?

The audience stared in astonishment.

Then the little assistant who'd been quietly giving Ye Jingqiu his medicine stepped forward and said:

"Have you ever given Jingqiu your essence, your heart's blood? Have you watered him day and night, by giving him his medicine? If you haven't done those things, what gives you the right to ask him to leave his old gong and come to you?"

Ye Jingqiu couldn't bear to look. "Ahem..."

The audience: "Essence?"

"Watered him?"

"That's spicy!"
