After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

*"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."* The abyss is humanity’s greatest fear. Animals infected by it mutate into monsters, and humans turn into mindless husks. Lu Tinghan is an abyss watcher. For ten years, he guarded the world’s most terrifying abyss. This abyss wasn’t just terrifying—it was bizarre. Throw trash into it, and days later, the trash would be neatly buried beside the abyss—as if someone had spent all night digging to bury it. Toss in hazardous waste, and days later, it would be hurled back in furious retaliation. Lu Tinghan: ??? After a decade, he left his post and became the Alliance’s youngest general. The next day, the abyss was gone. —Vanished entirely, flattened into nothingness. The world was stunned. Until one day, someone knocked on Lu Tinghan’s door. A boy with little demon horns stood outside, delicate and bright-eyed. Trembling with fear but mustering his courage, he pleaded, "Hello, I—I’m the abyss. Can you keep gazing at me? QAQ" He added, "I buried all your trash every day!" >>> Over time, Lu Tinghan learned two things: 1. Gaze at your abyss daily, and it will cheer up. 2. A happy abyss will come bounding toward you, purring.

**Sniffling Dragon King (Bottom) × Overprotective Interstellar Hunter (Top)** **Power Couple | Serious Plot** **Also Known As:** *Catching a Sniffling Creature* *My Princess Can’t Possibly Be a Hero!* *Though I Have the Strength, I Prefer Surviving by Sniffling.* >>> **Dragon’s Code, Rule One:** Every evil dragon must claim a princess. **Dragon’s Code, Rule Two:** Beware the dragon hunters. **Dragon’s Code, Rule Three:** …… Every dragon aspires to be a proper villain. So, Long Shiyu attempted to abduct a princess. Back then, he wasn’t yet the Dragon King. In a remote star system, an elven princess was set to marry in her clan’s ancient castle. A castle, a princess, and a wedding— The perfect script for an evil dragon! So, Long Shiyu waited until the ceremony, snatched the most stunning one with a swift claw, and soared away. He landed in a wasteland, loosened his grip, and gazed smugly at his prize: A handsome man glared at him, radiating murderous intent. *So beautiful.* Long Shiyu’s heart instantly fluttered. —He didn’t realize this wasn’t a princess at all. He’d accidentally grabbed the kingdom’s dragon-slaying hero. Years later, the hero no longer remembered him. He captured Long Shiyu as prey, kept him close, and incidentally took on the roles of feeder and dragon-petter. **[Long Shiyu is weak, helpless, and ravenous. His inferior bloodline means he’d be torn apart if released among his kin.]** —From the Hero’s Perspective Long Shiyu, now the Dragon King: "...Sniff." Just another day being pampered by his "princess."
