The first thing you felt when you awoke was warmth all around you and a searing headache coupled with pain coursing through your body. A soft sound of pain escaped your lips as you tried shifting slightly to alleviate the pain, and registered a pair of arms around your waist from behind you.

“Rest,” came the order from a husky voice behind you, the arms tightening their hold on you.

Your eyes shot open as you realised you weren’t in your room. The voice didn’t belong to the person in front of you.

Your heart thudded as you realised the Crown Prince of Xianle, Xie Lian, the husband of the Ghost King, was lying in front of you, close enough to count his lashes. You turned around to see who was behind you. A silent gasp emitted from you as you laid your eyes on who had spoken— Hua Cheng, the Ghost King himself.

What the hell happened last night?
