Do You Want to Make Me a Widow?

This story has passed review. Little sweethearts, come read it to pass the time.

I just want to prove that I'm not the kind of author who only tortures the heroine. The male lead won't have it easy either, haha.

[Sunny, righteous ray of sunshine x cold-faced, ruthless wolfish man]

Peng Qing thought Heaven had favored her by giving her a handsome young man for a husband. Sadly, their good fortune didn't last. Just before their wedding, her groom ran away.

The first time she found him, he pretended to be an ugly monster.

The second time she found him, he tricked Peng Qing, who had lost her memory, and left her again just when she trusted him most.

The third time she found him, Peng Qing cornered him in a Buddhist temple. Eyes closed, he said he didn't dare look at Guanyin, accepting the warmest of kisses from the woman beneath him.

At sunrise, she returned to her own bright world, leaving behind the husband in her dream who had tried to hold on to the spring. "This time, you can come looking for me."

From the male lead's perspective:

Dragged along a path across the red cliffs and yellow sands, he had heard cries of agony and grief. At last, even the bloodthirsty blade in his hand had grown weary. He met the best woman in the world and decided to spend the rest of his life with her.

But secrets buried beneath the executioner's blade were gradually being exposed, and the sinister white bones seemed ready to line up and take their revenge on him. He dreamed only of his wife, of their most intimate past and their most distant future.

"My lady, don't leave me." He murmured in his sleep, holding her tight as if he wanted to make her part of his very bones and blood.

When he awoke, the bed was empty. For the first time, he looked directly past the countless souls of the dead to the man who had been like a father to him.

She was the light of the world, the purest water, and the gentlest breeze. She was his whole world.

He was willing to become the sword she used to cut down anything in her path, including his own past.

"At your command, I can cut through anything."

Reader's guide:

1. The leads are both commoners, and their names are rather ordinary. Those who aren't commoners will get better names later. The male lead's only golden finger is that his combat ability is number one.

2. This isn't an angsty story. It's about a heroine who steadfastly chooses to encourage the male lead.

3. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, and the story isn't long. Please give the actual story a read! Hooray!
