Eerie Matchmaking: The Eerie Empress Is Actually My Wife

The National Destiny game has arrived. This year, Chen Mo, the chosen player from the Dragon Kingdom, is sent to the Crimson Moon Mirror Palace, one of the Ten Great Deathlands, where he must face the Crimson Moon Empress, one of the Ten Supreme Horrors.

Audiences around the world think he's doomed, and that the Dragon Kingdom is about to face its darkest hour.

But when the peerlessly regal empress appears, Chen Mo is stunned: this terrifying being, whose very presence makes all beings tremble, looks exactly like his beloved wife, who died of illness a year ago!

The empress lounges on her throne and studies him with interest. “You've got a decent face. I wonder if you're strong, too. You'll be spending the night with me.”

Faced with this deadly temptation and teasing, Chen Mo respectfully lowers his head. “I'm honored, but I must decline. My heart has long since gone to rest with my late wife.”

The livestream chat erupts in anguished cries. “He's insane! He actually dared defy one of the top three among the Ten Supreme Horrors!”

But the next second, everyone is stunned: instead of killing him in a fit of rage, the Crimson Moon Empress rewards him with a cursed artifact. “You've got some backbone. Take this to protect yourself.”

From then on, everything in the palace goes completely off the rails:

The empress invites him to bathe with her and share her bed, but Chen Mo would rather risk angering her than accept these offers that everyone else would consider a blessing.

The entire internet holds its breath, convinced he'll be torn to pieces the next second, when suddenly the empress gives him the Imperial Consort Jade Pendant, which commands ten thousand ghosts, as a toy.

Players from other nations struggle to survive amid the horrors, while Chen Mo keeps earning rewards in the Deathland simply by “refusing.”

Everyone thinks he's dancing on the edge of a blade. Little do they know that each time he turns her down, the Crimson Moon Empress loves and indulges him a little more...
