Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered, “Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall down to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.] Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract. [Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

* * *

“You said you’d divorce me within 10 years.”

The grown-up villain leaned in, hovering his head before he kissed her tenderly over her crown.

“Now that we’re adults, we should sign another contract.” <<less

【Adorable, timid ghost uke X affectionate, wife-pampering, powerful exorcist seme】... more>>

How to successfully catch a timid and cute ghost?

Step One: Never draw the curtains of the room.

Step Two: Always stay alone in the corner.

Step Three: Accept all the gifts he brings.

Looking at the severed tail of a house lizard at his feet, Lian Yi picked it up without flinching, placing it in his room’s drawer. There were many such things — dilapidated toys, a bottle filled with some unknown viscous liquid, broken pens, a sparrow feather and so on…

Lian Yi closed the drawer and went to knock on the wardrobe door: “Are you there?”

A moment later, the door creaked open a crack from inside, revealing several slender, pale fingers, then a delicately beautiful face, shyly looking at him.

After spending some time with the human who had kept him, Nan Deng’s days had become more comfortable and nourishing.

This person, although always icy cold, neither laughing nor talking, treated the ghost Nan Deng quite well. He would protect him, indulge him, and feed him. Nan Deng liked him very much and wanted to always be with him.

Until later, Nan Deng accidentally discovered the real identity of this person was an exorcist\\*.

A ruthless, cruel, blink to slay ghosts exorcist.

——The natural enemy of ghosts.

Nan Deng trembled in fear and fled in the night.

However, he wasn’t able to get far before he was found by Lian Yi.

Lian Yi was no longer pretending. With a gloomy countenance, surrounded by ruins filled with corpses and overwhelmed with menacing energy, his voice was soft and low, urging, “Nan Deng, come here.”

Lately, a piece of news had been circulating among the ghosts.

Yezhang Tower had suddenly collapsed, and the Ghost King imprisoned inside had escaped.

The ghosts cheered and were ecstatic, preparing to pay respects to the supposedly ruthless, fierce Ghost King.

“The Ghost King shall lead us to conquer the three realms!”

“Decapitate those damn exorcists!”

“Brothers, charge!”

However, when the ghosts, led by the grievous energy, finally found the fabled Ghost King, they saw him trembling behind the most powerful human and Chief Exorcist, Lian Yi, saying, “They’re so scary…” <<less
