“Word has it that if Xiao Chen doesn’t marry the Lord of the Underworld, he won’t have much longer to live!”
Xiao Chen himself never expected this. As the Po Jun Star Sovereign, he had lived a life of cold detachment and suppressed desires for ten thousand years, only to find out that one day, he would be forced to marry a complete stranger.
He has been poisoned, and if he wants to survive, he must marry the Sovereign of the Underworld right then and there.
Rumor has it that Sovereign Rong Yuan is an eccentric man with a hideous appearance, hiding behind a mask year-round to conceal his true face. To Xiao Chen, his looks aren’t the issue, the real problem is: how on earth is he supposed to broach the subject of marriage?
As it turns out, Xiao Chen didn’t need to stress over it. Rong Yuan took the initiative to propose, offering a hand in marriage to save his life.
After the wedding, Xiao Chen realized that rumors are rarely trustworthy. For instance, Rong Yuan is actually a stunningly handsome man. Furthermore, he is exceptionally kind, so kind that Xiao Chen found himself wanting to drop his guard and actually trust him.
However, as time went on, various signs began to suggest that Rong Yuan did, in fact, have an ulterior motive.
Prepared and composed, Xiao Chen asked, “So, what is it? Do you want to use me, or are you after my life too?”
Rong Yuan replied, “I’m after your heart.”
Xiao Chen: “For the sake of our future together, we need to be very clear about this. What kind of ‘heart’ are we talking about?”
He meant his true love.
