A romance with a strong hero and heroine, and plenty of doting!
She was a top modern-day assassin. While on a mission, she was murdered by a silver-ranked assassin who had always envied her.
After transmigrating, she became the daughter of the prime minister of the Helan Kingdom. Her father didn’t love her, her mother ignored her, and her sisters, maids, and servants all bullied her.
Ridiculous! She had always been the one bullying others. Since when could they bully her?
Her younger sister arranged for assassins to kill her? Great, you’ve got guts. Just wait until you wish you were dead. Dying isn’t the scary part; waiting to die is.
Her older brother wanted to kill her too? Then she’d ruin his reputation and send him out to beg.
The princess was jealous and wanted to disfigure her? Fine, she’d have the princess stung by bees.
She offended the princess and was forced to marry the legendary Demon King? They said he was cruel, heartless, and ghostly, a monster. So why was he so breathtakingly beautiful when she saw him, like no ordinary man? He didn’t seem anything like the rumors.
He was the Demon King of the Yingxin Kingdom. When he was born, every animal raised in the palace went wild, throwing the palace into chaos. People called him a demon, so he was named the Demon King at birth and driven out of the palace. Excerpt One: “Your Highness, the princess consort was almost harassed by the eldest young master of the richest family,” Yun Yi reported.
“What? Send our best assassins to wipe out his entire family!” the Demon King said, while painting a portrait of his princess consort in his study. Anyone who dared to harass his woman was doomed to be exterminated.
Excerpt Two: “Your Highness, the princess consort threw all the luminous pearls the emperor gave her into the water to play with, thinking they were stones,” Yun Yi said. He was so heartbroken. Those luminous pearls were incredibly precious!
“Is that so? If she likes them, steal the luminous pearls from the imperial treasury for her to play with,” the Demon King said unconcernedly. As long as his woman was happy, he’d even pluck the moon from the sky for her.
Yun Yi wiped the sweat from his brow. His lord was far too indulgent toward his princess consort.
Excerpt Three: “Your Highness, the princess consort said she wants to see what the emperor’s jade seal looks like,” Yun Yi said. By now, he was used to this sort of thing.
“Have someone steal the emperor’s jade seal so she can look at it. Tell her it’s fine if she breaks it,” the Demon King said unconcernedly. Forget a jade seal: it wouldn’t matter even if she wanted the whole world.
Yun Yi nearly died of fright. That was the emperor’s jade seal! But what could he do? The princess consort liked it.
Excerpt Four: “Your Highness, the emperor of the Xia Yu Kingdom offered the princess consort ten thousand taels of gold to marry her and make her his empress. He promised she would be his only wife for life, and she accepted the offer.” Yun Yi was terrified. His lord treasured the princess consort so much, and she had actually accepted!
“What?” The usually unflappable Demon King lost his composure. A blur of movement, and he was gone.
