After Luring Monsters into Submission

My next novel, The Ex-Husband Returns as a Dark, Damp Ghost, is now online!

Fu Sang first encountered the monster on a long street in Posuo City.

Back then, she was righteous, bright, and brash, teaching a few demons a lesson for swindling people.

She saw a handsome young man passing by and teased him a little. His face flushed, and he stammered, unable to get a word out.

She didn't notice the excitement in his eyes, so intense it was almost twisted.

Fu Sang didn't take their brief encounter seriously.

It wasn't until later, when the Demon Lord united the Demon Realm by force and demanded that every clan send him beautiful young women, that she was sent into the palace as a plaything. Only then did she realize that the monster was the most honored young prince in the Demon Realm.

Rumor said he was bloodthirsty and cruel, a monster whose moods were impossible to predict.

She walked on eggshells around him, but as they spent day after day together, she began to glimpse his true nature.

The monster had no moral restraints and didn't even understand the seven emotions and six desires. He was like a naive but domineering little beast.

She held out her hand as if to entice him, luring him into the tumultuous world of mortals and teaching him to become a kind and magnanimous gentleman.

And he learned remarkably well. The vicious, gloomy, unruly monster became a graceful and refined gentleman.

She thought, perhaps it was time to leave him.

The monster delighted in the twisted pleasure of cruelty and destruction. To him, killing was an everyday matter.

Then he met someone, like the moon in the sky and the wind through the woods.

She gave him the faintest smile, and the pounding of his heart became deafening. He felt suffocated by a wave of emotion called "happiness."

Clumsily, he sheathed his sharp claws and stumbled toward her.

The monster barely understood love, hate, right, or wrong, and couldn't tell when someone was sweet-talking him.

So he was coaxed into giving up his sincere heart, only to have it trampled and discarded without mercy.

After Abandoning the Scarred, Dark, Damp Boy is now online!

[Adorably oblivious heroine vs. withdrawn, scarred, dark, damp hero] [The abandoned hero goes mad with love]

Jin Ning had a prophetic dream.

She dreamed that her immortal lord ex-husband, whom she had never loved much, hadn't died. A wisp of his remnant soul had entered the mortal realm.

After enduring countless hardships, his personality had become warped and extreme. Once he returned to the Immortal Realm, he would go on a killing spree.

Frightened, she hurried down to the mortal realm that very night to stop him.

To her surprise, the boy she found there was quiet and reserved, and often anxious and ill at ease because half his face was disfigured.

But he still held goodwill toward the world.

As they spent their days together, the reserved boy blushed and grew flustered at the slightest thing she did.

He sincerely and nervously told her that he liked her.

Unfortunately, immortals couldn't remain in the mortal realm for long. Though reluctant to leave, Jin Ning still had to go.

When they met again, the mortal boy had grown into a young man.

And he was looking more and more like her gloomy, terrifying ex-husband.

In the dead of night, he would climb into her bed. His eyes were icy, with none of the warmth he'd once shown her, only endless hatred.

With tears streaming down his face, he accused her of abandoning him.

But though he hated her so much, he still knelt beside her legs and pressed against her in a lovesick daze.

Over and over, he told her he loved her.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you...

Ling Zhao was born in the wilderness. He was ugly and withdrawn.

He knew how base he was. Knowing Jin Ning was softhearted, he deliberately put on a pitiful, vulnerable, innocent act to entice her.

But no matter how ugly he was, the girl still leaned toward him with a blink of her eyes and gently kissed the half of his face that was disfigured.

"I like you just the way you are, A Zhao."

He really believed her.

So he gave her his heart.

But she walked away without looking back.

Only later did he learn that she was both affectionate and fickle. She loved all the people of the world, and he was just one insignificant person among them.

She would never stay for anyone.
