My Mad Dog of a Younger Uncle Has His Eye on Me

[Gentle, cool beauty of a wife x crazed, obsessive, reborn mad dog]

1.

After her husband passes away, all he leaves Cui Lingtang is one last wish: take care of his young brother, whom she has never met.

At their first meeting, a tall, sharp-featured man in light armor strides into the chaotic Cui residence, then bends into a smile so boyish it seems impossible. He kneels on one knee before her.

His voice is damp as rain on banana leaves, his words scattered and helpless: "Are you my sister-in-law?"

"My brother has died. I'm so sad..."

He seems like a little puppy with nowhere to go.

Cui Lingtang hesitates, then gently takes his arm.

As they spend time together, Cui Lingtang becomes more and more convinced that there is no one in the world more obedient and lovable than Pei Seye.

He is humble and courteous, and always knows his limits.

Except that he is often too clingy, too fond of acting coy, and too possessive...

But that's all normal, right...?

Until an imperial edict arrives at the Pei residence, ordering him to carry on the family lines of both branches...

Pei Seye is to continue both family lines and give his sister-in-law, who is under his guardianship, a child.

No matter how absurd the emperor's decree is, Cui Lingtang doesn't dare defy it.

Pei Seye hides the sick obsession in his eyes, takes her hand without crossing any boundaries, and lightly kisses the back of it. "Sister-in-law, I'm only taking care of you for my brother."

From the moment they first met, Pei Seye knew he would only ever love Cui Lingtang.

He would live for her, die for her, and give up all his power for her, turning heaven and earth upside down.

In his previous life, to keep her by his side, he killed hundreds of people in the Pei household and cooked her mother-in-law, until at last only he and she remained in the Pei residence...

Then he possessed her openly and without shame.

Pei Seye thinks Cui Lingtang must have hated him, that mad dog, with all her heart.

That's why, just before she died in her previous life, she gently wished him: "May the general die with his head and body separated."

But he still cherished the rare blessing Cui Lingtang gave him.

But can a mad dog's obsession be settled so easily with life and death?

Fortune smiles on him and he is reborn. Obediently, he dons a human face, pretending to be a gentle, clingy puppy at Cui Lingtang's side.

As a result... he receives a kindness from her that he never got in his previous life.

Even after Cui Lingtang regains her memories, Pei Seye never decides to let her go.

The day he catches her after she escapes, Pei Seye holds Cui Lingtang's trembling hand, dips it in his blood, and guides it stroke by stroke as she writes their names on the betrothal document.

He seals it with a kiss that tastes of blood. "Once you've signed the betrothal document, even if you run to a sea of blood a hundred li away, I'll drain the underworld dry and bring you back to my side."

A mad dog's obsession has no end.

So on the day Cui Lingtang's late husband returns...

The two mad dogs look at each other, knowing that only one of them can live.
