Bizarre Marriage: I am the Bizarre Emperor, and my wife is a sweet and gentle school beauty.

"woke up?"

"Come and eat, the food is all ready."

Hearing Gu Yuan's gentle voice, Yun Zhenyue sat absentmindedly at the dining table.

I picked up my chopsticks and felt almost full after just a few bites.

These dishes, which she loved to eat, tasted bland to her.

of course.

This does not mean that Gu Yuan's skills are bad.

With his unparalleled culinary skills, if this skill were given to the player, he could easily be classified as unmatched.

Rather, she was preoccupied with her own thoughts, like a cloud pillow and the moon.

The source is the dream she just had.

in a dream.

She saw a woman who looked a lot like herself.

At first, Yun Zhenyue thought she had seen herself.

But upon closer inspection from beside that woman, one can see that they still have many differences.

Take temperament, for example.

The woman was very energetic, and her eyes seemed to sparkle.

Moreover, he could help Gu Yuan in many ways at that time.

I asked myself these questions while resting my head on the cloud and the moon.

If it were me, so foolish and silly, I might have been a hindrance to Gu Yuan.

The rather inexperienced Gu Yuan must have entered the strange world not long ago.

He would help when faced with some strange occurrences, even though he had already experienced betrayal once.

Yun Zhenyue had previously seen fragments of Gu Yuan's memories through the orphanage. When Gu Yuan first became a ghost, he was betrayed by a spirit and almost killed.

But regarding this...
Yun Zhenyue refers to it as her "meal substitute".

It's also possible that she was that woman's substitute.

But anyway.

Gu Yuan was actually very good to her.

When the two had ideological conflicts, Gu Yuan always gave in to her.

Just when Yun Zhenyue thought that Gu Yuan would get along well with this woman, the story took an unexpected turn once again.

That woman betrayed Gu Yuan.

This is the second betrayal Gu Yuan has encountered.

The woman Gu Yuan trusted so much wanted to conquer the world with her strength, starting with the supernatural world, and then invading reality once she had mastered all the supernatural elements.

One day, she finally had a conflict with Gu Yuan.

At that time, Gu Yuan still advocated the ideals of peace and mutual assistance.
The woman used a key that resembled a human bone to insert into Gu Yuan's skull when he was off guard. The key had the ability to rewrite consciousness, and the woman hoped to change Gu Yuan's beliefs.

But Gu Yuan regained his senses at the last moment and broke the key.

Caught off guard, the woman left with most of Gu Yuan's former subordinates.

Gu Yuan remained silent for a long time.

Instead of searching for the woman, he soon founded Nightmare Hunter.

Gu Yuan also seemed to have learned something from this betrayal.

They no longer yearn for the ideal of peace, but instead seek to prove their path through killing and to stop war through force.

He's not much different from Gu Yuan now.

Later, Gu Yuan met the woman once more.

The woman attempted to plunder an SSS+ level dungeon, angering a powerful and mysterious being. She sought help from Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan merely watched coldly as the woman died.

That fierce and eerie creature was none other than the Armored Ghost.

The gentle-natured man eventually joined the Nightmare Hunters.

This dream felt incredibly real.

For a moment, Yun Zhenyue couldn't tell whether it was her imagination or a scene that had actually happened.

But what about being betrayed twice?

Especially the woman who betrayed him the second time, who looked almost exactly like him.

This left Yun Zhenyue with mixed feelings.

Is it possible?
Was she actually the reincarnation of that woman?
Isn't that how it's always portrayed in TV dramas?
She lost her memories of her previous life in her reincarnation, which is why Gu Yuan treated her so well from the very beginning.

anyway.

Yun Zhenyue kept this matter to herself.

Seeing Gu Yuan eating quietly, she subconsciously said, "Husband."

"Ok?"

Gu Yuan put down his chopsticks. He noticed that Yun Zhenyue had barely touched the rice in her bowl.

"Is the food not to your liking today?"

"No, no, the food was delicious, it's my own fault."

Yun Zhenyue shook her little head, then her expression became solemn. She took a deep breath, and the moment Gu Yuan's gaze fell upon her, it was as if she had made a lifelong promise.

"I will never betray you."

"From now on, I will always stand by your side. No matter what you become, I will always be your wife!"

Yun Zhenyue's cheeks flushed slightly after she finished speaking.

It's really embarrassing to say such cloying things while eating.

"you--"

Gu Yuan blinked.

Looking at Yun Zhenyue's neck, which was as red as a strawberry, she hesitated and asked, "Are you still asleep?"

Yun Zhenyue: "."

I really shouldn't have said that!
Gu Yuan had no idea what she was dreaming about!

"I'm going to feed Lily!" Yun Zhenyue hurriedly made up an excuse and ran away, otherwise she would be so ashamed that she would burst.

Gu Yuan watched her retreating figure.

"Betrayal?" Gu Yuan murmured softly.

He certainly understood the meaning behind Yun Zhenyue's words.

It seems she already knows about her past.

They might even imagine that she is the reincarnation of that woman or something.

—You guessed completely wrong.

If it weren't for the fact that the woman looked very similar to Yun Zhenyue...

He wouldn't have been kind enough to take her in in the first place.

This foreshadows the betrayal that follows.

In fact, Gu Yuan had long anticipated that woman's betrayal. He had only hoped that she could subtly change him until the very last moment when he realized how difficult it was to change a person.

However, Gu Yuan later realized that it was impossible to reason with the supernatural.

Perhaps that woman really did influence him?
It's pointless to say any of this now.

The woman had died long ago, and Yun Zhenyue was not her reincarnation.

As an anomaly, it wants to protect reality.

Is it a preference for an entire world?
Or is it someone else?

Gu Yuan had never thought about this question.

He's no longer the bewildered little weirdo he used to be.

Instead, he is the Demon Emperor who rules over the entire bizarre world!
Gu Yuan never compared Yun Zhenyue with that woman. The two were completely independent individuals with different preferences, personalities, and ideas.

If you were to ask Gu Yuan which one he likes?
That must be Yun Zhenyue.

That woman had pursued Gu Yuan before, but he had never agreed to be with her and only considered her a friend.

Precisely.

Yun Zhenyue was his first love and his only wife.

In his past life, he died before he could confess his feelings.

"Huh~"

Yun Zhenyue came to the balcony, her cheeks still flushed.

She rarely said sweet nothings to Gu Yuan.

Looking back from their first meeting with Gu Yuan until now, their feelings for each other were not so intense or fiery. Everything was like a gentle stream, flowing naturally and naturally.

Perhaps this is fate.

If it weren't for this bizarre marriage, she might still be an ordinary person in reality, graduating and taking the civil service exam. If she were lucky, she could have passed the exam and lived a peaceful and stable life.

There is absolutely no chance of meeting Gu Yuan.
In a way, she should thank the bizarre marriage arrangement?

"what?"

Just as Yun Zhenyue was reminiscing.

Her attention was drawn to the flower of love before her.

"Aren't there two flowers?" Yun Zhenyue asked in a low voice, puzzled.

The last time she saw the flower of love was about to bloom, it had split into two.

How come there's only one flower left now?

Is it possible?
Gazing at the quietly blooming, dazzling flowers.

Yun Zhenyue fell into deep thought.

Did she actually make a wish?
Was that dream I just had created by the Flower of Love? (End of Chapter)
