***The Demon Hunter's Demon Husband*** One was born to kill demons. One was born to rule them. So... who dared to make them partners? Tiandu. Thirteenth Year of Zhenyuan. The Kingdom of Qinghe has a single condition for entering the royal palace: Every noble must arrive with their lawful spouse. To investigate a series of mysterious disappearances, the Demon-Hunting Bureau has only one option. Pair Zhuo Yichen-the Bureau's coldest demon hunter-with Zhu Yan-the very demon he has every reason to despise. A fake marriage. A shared carriage. A single bed. A kingdom where one wrong move means death. Pretending to be in love should have been easy... So why does Zhu Yan keep looking at Yichen like he's already his? Why does Yichen's heart race every time he's called "my love"? And why does an ancient marriage rite refuse to acknowledge their vows as a lie? When fate binds a hunter to a demon... When enemies become lovers... When a miracle no one thought possible leaves a baby at the center of a prophecy that could unite-or destroy-both the human and demon realms... Who will protect the child? Who will betray them? And when the world demands the death of the demon's family... Will the greatest demon become the one willing to burn the world to save his husband and their baby?

He swore to the heavens. On blood. On his brother's lifeless body. Zhou Yi Chen vowed to kill the demon Zhu Yan - the ancient calamity also known as Zhao Yuan Zhou - the being who shattered his family and burned his world to the ground. As the last descendant of the Bing Yi clan, vengeance was not a choice. It was destiny. But destiny has a cruel sense of humor. Because the demon he hunts does not resist him. Zhu Yan watches him with eyes that are far too gentle for a creature who has lived for thirty-four thousand years. He shields him in battle. Bleeds for him. Stands between him and death without hesitation. And when Zhou Yi Chen demands to know why- The demon only smiles faintly. "You swore to kill me," Zhu Yan murmurs. "Then I will die by your hand. No one else's." The wilderness is no longer safe. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Zhou Yi Chen must fight beside the very demon he vowed to destroy. But there are dreams. Fragments. A past life where cold hands once held him like something precious. A past where Zhou Yi Chen was not a hunter - but a lover. And Zhu Yan was not a monster - but his. The closer they stand in battle, the harder it becomes to ignore the way the air shifts between them. The way Zhu Yan's voice softens for him. The way Zhou Yi Chen's sword hesitates at the demon's throat. If they fall in love again... Will the heavens demand blood? Or will fate break first? Because a vow sworn to the heavens cannot be undone. And loving a demon always comes at a price.
