After the Ferocious Beast Was Forced into a Political Marriage

Tao Xiao was a Taotie who had slept for thousands of years. When he woke, he found himself inhabiting a fragile human body. He had lost most of his memories, and his appetite had only grown stronger. Every inch of him was screaming with hunger.

A human who claimed to be his biological father forced him into an arranged marriage, pointing to a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man and telling him that this was his future husband.

Smelling the man's fragrant scent, Tao Xiao's irritability eased, and his eyes lit up. What was a husband? Was he tasty?

Bai Yanli was the youngest person ever to take control of the Shanhai Group. Orphaned at an early age and with few family ties, he had been given the fate of a lone star of ill fortune.

He knew the Tao family had substituted an illegitimate son from outside the family for the arranged marriage, but he didn't care. He only needed a marriage of convenience. The identity of his partner didn't matter. The agreement would end in a year, and they could divorce then.

However, his new spouse was so pitiful. He couldn't even get enough to eat in the Tao household and was often so hungry that his eyes turned red, as if he might burst into tears at any moment.

Bai Yanli went from feeling sympathy to doting on him, and finally wanted to tear up the agreement and make their sham marriage real. But then he saw his usually frail, pitiful spouse tear an evil spirit apart with his bare hands, squish it into a ball, and stuff it into his mouth. Eyes bloodshot, Tao Xiao tilted his head and asked, "Hmm? What did you say?" He looked even more vicious than the evil spirit.

Tao Xiao didn't like Bai Ze, the head of the Bureau of Demon Administration. The Bureau of Demon Administration tried to control everything. They wouldn't let him eat humans or monsters. They were so annoying. One day, he would swallow the entire Bureau whole.

But his new husband was pretty great. He prepared all kinds of delicious food for Tao Xiao to enjoy.

With fried chicken in one hand and a Coke in the other, Tao Xiao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and decided he could wait a while before eating his husband.

Until one day, the divine beast Bai Ze finally took human form and removed his mask. His face was identical to that of Tao Xiao's new husband.

The fried chicken drumstick in Tao Xiao's hand suddenly lost its appeal. Knowing that his powers hadn't recovered and he probably couldn't beat Bai Ze, he quickly packed his bags and prepared to run.

Bai Ze wrapped his tail around Tao Xiao and tossed him back onto the sofa. He leaned over and pinned him down, amusement in his eyes.

"Baby, where are you running off to?"

"We're married now. What should you call me?"

Tao Xiao half-opened his unfocused eyes. After a long while, he finally rasped, "Hubby..."

Bai Ze kissed his earlobe in satisfaction. "Good boy."

He Disappeared in the Sunlight

Shen Jiale decided to divorce Lin Duchuan.

Because he found out that his husband of three years had cheated on him.

They had gone from school uniforms to marriage, and everyone had envied them as a perfect couple. Lin Duchuan was gentle and considerate, the model husband.

But at some point, Lin Duchuan had changed. He no longer put Shen Jiale first in everything. He used work as an excuse, coming home late every night and already gone by the time Shen Jiale woke up.

More importantly, the two of them, once inseparable, could barely even manage a brief hug now, let alone anything else.

Looking at his husband, who shared his bed but not his heart, and smelling an unfamiliar scent he'd never noticed before, Shen Jiale finally knew the answer.

He didn't want to keep trying to save a hopeless relationship, so he took a divorce agreement home and asked Lin Duchuan to sign it.

The house was dark, without a light on. Lin Duchuan stood alone by the window with his back to him. Shen Jiale had no idea how long he had been waiting.

Shen Jiale was about to call out to him when a passing glance silenced him.

He finally noticed that the cold moonlight poured down beside Lin Duchuan, yet the floor beneath him was empty. He cast no shadow.

The blood drained from Shen Jiale's body, and he froze in place.

Just then, Lin Duchuan turned around and looked at him with a pair of pitch-black eyes, unfathomably deep.

Aspiration: Don't eat things you shouldn't
