[This is the next book I'll be starting]
Past and present lives / ensemble cast in the martial world / monster hunting and supernatural mysteries / a love full of pain / happy ending
A habitually restrained, stoic wooden heroine x a hero who appears dashing and carefree but is, in truth, a brooding, resentful husband
Rumor had it that Xue Qunyu, young master of Dangxue Tower, had someone he hated with all his heart. That person had once cut out half his heart, then vanished without a trace.
Everyone thought Xue Qunyu would find the heart-stealing thief, drink her blood, eat her flesh, and sleep in her skin.
He did find her, and went to great lengths to keep her imprisoned at his side.
Xue Qunyu thought he could harden his heart and torment her in every way, but things never went as planned.
One night, he gazed into her deep, still eyes and demanded through gritted teeth:
"Jiang Chanyi, I only have one question. Do you love me or not?"
*
"Jiang Chanyi, I'm like a dog you raised. No matter how you treat me, all you have to do is crook a finger and I'll come running."
"The ironic thing is, I'm willing to do it."
