The Demon King’s Ghostly Consort

He was a prince of the Great Yan Empire. Born with violet eyes, he was branded a demon reborn and driven to the frontier as a child.

When they first met on Zixia Mountain, he wanted to strip off her skin, break her bones, and swallow her whole. She faced him impassively, then boldly raised her blade and hacked apart the shackles that bound him.

He was the bewitching Prince Yao, powerful enough to rule the court. She was the Ghost Commandery Princess, whose hideous reputation had spread through the capital as soon as she returned. When the imperial decree of marriage arrived, she was reclining on a couch, leisurely enjoying an exceptionally entertaining show.
