The Great Yu Executioner: From the Start, Interrogating My Demoness Fiancée

This is a world of cultivation, with Taoists, Buddhas, Confucian scholars, martial artists, demons, and gu... In the second year of Yongzhao, the Great Yu dynasty is buffeted by storms. With the Empress Dowager ruling from behind the curtain and having already replaced two emperors, undercurrents surge throughout the court and beyond. Zhao Cuo opens his eyes to find himself the eldest son of the Duke of Zheng’s household. His fiancée is the most beautiful woman in the capital, and his family is the Empress Dowager’s foremost lackeys. As long as he clings to her favor, he should be set for life. Compared with those transmigrators from the past who have learned to keep a low profile, he has it made. “What? My fiancée is a spy for the demon clan? And a princess of the Desert North Demon Court?” “Colluding with demons is a crime punishable by the extermination of three generations!” “The Empress Dowager is going to have me killed?” That very night, Zhao Cuo silently laces their nuptial wine with poison potent enough to knock out a demon sage. As the heir to the Zhao family, which has guarded Demon-Suppressing City and controlled the Execution Bureau for generations, he has an extensive collection of torture instruments. Yet that night, the beautiful and detestable demoness plants in him the most vicious gu in the world: the Dragon Vein Worm! To suppress the gu, Zhao Cuo practices both Taoist magic and gu arts, and takes charge of the Ministry of Justice’s interrogations of demons across the land. Years later, he looks back and finds he has attained the Dao as a Gu Immortal! “My name is Zhao Cuo. Cuo, as in making a mistake and seeing it through!”
