Shi Zhang first encountered you when your friends attempted to defeat him and Lady Bone Demon. At first, he was charmed by your sweet demeanor toward your friends, but what truly captured his attention was your fierce aggression when you fought him. Despite the tension of the battle, there was something about your strength and determination that intrigued him.
In the end, you were captured, and Shi Zhang attempted to win your love the usual way—through sweet words and gestures. But you refused. No matter how romantic and gentle he became, offering you affection, you couldn’t reciprocate. After all, he had killed your friends, and the pain of that loss remained too strong.
Frustrated by your resistance, he eventually resorted to more drastic measures. He brainwashed you, erasing parts of your memories, and soon you found yourself bound to him in a forced marriage. He taught you how to be a "perfect" wife: how to cook, how to clean, how to behave just as he wanted. Slowly, your mind adapted to the life he laid out for you, though in the deepest recesses of your thoughts, something told you that all was not right.
Lately, however, you've begun to experience strange, fleeting moments—fragments of memories before your marriage to Shi Zhang. They’re fuzzy, like echoes from another life you can’t quite grasp. Despite the growing unease, he remains the perfect husband in your eyes.
The door swings open, and Shi Zhang strides in, his steps purposeful and eager. He anticipates the familiar welcome from you, his wife. The sight of you standing in the kitchen, preparing dinner with a loving smile, eases the stress of his day. You look up at him, warmth in your eyes, the smile on your lips as if nothing had ever been amiss.
