Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 234

“First, bow to the heavens and the earth—”

“Second, bow to your parents—”

“Third, bow to each other as husband and wife—”

Inside the brightly decorated main hall of the prince’s manor, the newlyweds held opposite ends of a red silk cord tied to an embroidered ball. The guests’ laughter and blessings buzzed around them, sometimes near, sometimes far, like a pleasant but indistinct hum.

Three bows complete, and three rises follow.

The matchmaker cried out, “Ceremony complete—”

“Send them to the bridal chamber!”

A sheer red veil covered Su Ci’s face, swaying slightly with each movement, the crimson hue bleeding like a soft stain of blood that blocked out the noise and commotion of the outside world.

Through the gap beneath the veil, she could make out the red silk trailing to the groom. His festive robe, embroidered with golden qilin and auspicious beasts, made his figure look majestic and upright like a pine tree.

The moment the words “ceremony complete” were spoken, something seemed to click into place. The man beside her suddenly swept her into his arms and strode forward with steady, powerful steps, carrying her toward the elaborately prepared bridal chamber.

The pounding of his heartbeat reverberated against her body.

Su Ci couldn’t help but wonder—was it her imagination, or did the prince’s chest feel broader and more solid than most men’s?

“Why aren’t you in the front hall enjoying the banquet with the guests?”

He paused mid-step. Through the delicate veil, he bent down and kissed her forehead. A low chuckle rumbled in his chest, his voice deep and rich, with an alluring pull.

“Nothing tastes sweeter than a nuptial toast shared with my Ah Ci.”

Red candles flickered as their light danced across the room.

A jade ruyi gently lifted Su Ci’s veil, revealing the groom’s face more clearly. The red robe he wore blazed in vivid color.

His skin was as fair as porcelain, features so beautiful they seemed carved by an artist—almost androgynous in their perfection.

His gentle, affectionate smile filled his eyes, wrapping around her with inescapable tenderness, pulling her into a trap of temptation and shared ruin.

Beneath the warm canopy, every moment felt priceless.

Before dawn broke, Su Ci was gently awakened by her personal maid. Rubbing her sore neck and aching lower back, she allowed the maids and old attendants to help her wash up and get dressed.

“Miss, today is your grand wedding with the Prince. You must pull yourself together. Nothing can go wrong today…”

Su Ci’s hand froze mid-motion while picking a pearl hairpin.

Wait… Today is the wedding?

…

Outside the coffin, Ling Su was still racking his brain.

Five minutes.

Then another five.

And another five.

Don’t give him that “five minutes is normal for a man” nonsense.

He didn’t believe it for a second.

An hour later, he believed it.

He was a five-minute guy.

But it wasn’t a big deal. If one of him could last five minutes, a few more of him could take turns and stretch the time out.

What the hell were those two doing in there?

Frustrated, Ling Su kicked the coffin. It didn’t budge. If not for the faint thread of connection between them, he might’ve thought something had happened to the two of them inside.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

The Beauties’ Camp shifted position again.

Suddenly, Ling Su’s personal panel lit up, and a system message appeared without warning—

[Player has discovered Sacrificial Item: “Lover’s Lock” ×1]

[Item Description: Lover’s Lock, a token of affection gifted by nobility. When used by a Beauty, it can seal a burial chamber for three rounds. May only be used once every 12 rounds.]

Three rounds meant the sealed chamber needed to have at least nine coffins for it to be worthwhile.

Li Song had already opened six coffins—only four remained. Ling Su’s heart jumped. Fortunately, the item was triggered after the Beauties’ movement phase; otherwise, they’d be trapped for sure.

And since no one had used the item yet, that meant the chamber was temporarily free of malicious entities.

A good sign.

Su Ci was safe.

…

Elsewhere, Wei Xinlian had chosen a side chamber to the north. After inspecting several smaller tombs, she found them completely empty—not a single coffin in sight!

There were already ten Beauties, Maids, and Captives combined. Who the hell would still be reckless enough to open coffins?

A face popped into her mind—Ling Su.

She gritted her teeth, remembering how she was dead last on the rankings. She quickly switched to a chamber on the west side and began opening coffins.

The very first one she opened—turned out to be a cursed item.

Since she had once played the Maid role, Wei Xinlian recognized the item’s power right away. In a past run, Ling Su had used this very item in combination with the gold-and-jade key to take out four tomb raiders at once.

But she wasn’t too worried.

This sacrificial item mainly targeted groups of players.

Especially larger teams.

Like Ling Su’s group of three.

Still shaken, Wei Xinlian’s mood plummeted. She was about to move to a new tomb chamber when she saw Zhao Kai entering with that newbie girl.

“Sasa, try this one. I’ve got a good feeling. It’s definitely something valuable!”

Wei Xinlian scoffed from the doorway, silently watching. She didn’t warn them that the previous cursed item had come from this very chamber.

“Okay!”

Sasa fully trusted Zhao Kai. Without hesitation, she threw her weight into it and pushed the coffin open in one go.

Inside was a jade screen.

Her eyes lit up, and she eagerly shared the news. “You’re amazing! This screen alone gave me 50 points—I’m ranked sixth now!”

Zhao Kai was thrilled too. “At this rate, we should both make it to the end. Let’s keep it up!”

Wei Xinlian’s vision darkened. Her head swam as she stared daggers at Zhao Kai.

He was the one who had invited her to team up first!

This should’ve been her chance!

Sasa, playing it smart, decided to quit while ahead and pulled Zhao Kai away to explore other tombs.

Everyone knew Beauties wouldn’t stash their treasures in one place—it would be too easy to lose everything in one swoop.

Wei Xinlian blocked Zhao Kai’s path, hesitating.

“I…”

She drew a deep breath and finally made her decision.

“I accept your invitation. Let’s team up.”

“…?”

Sasa blinked in confusion, turning to Zhao Kai.

Objectively, Wei Xinlian was more attractive—she had the kind of look most guys liked.

If Zhao Kai chose to go with her instead, Sasa wouldn’t have any complaints. After all, he had picked her coffins in the past two rounds—she’d gotten the better end of the deal.

But Zhao Kai shook his head. “Sorry. I already have a teammate. Plus, someone just triggered the Lover’s Lock. It can trap players inside a tomb chamber.”

In other words—teaming up was risky.

If it weren’t for that sacrificial item, he would’ve gladly helped out another female player.

Zhao Kai turned and left with Sasa.

Wei Xinlian stomped her foot in frustration, glaring venomously at their backs.

Fool. Blind idiot.

What, you couldn’t just kick one person from the group?

She’d played this dungeon before—did that mean she was still worse than a newbie girl?

Fueled by competitive rage, Wei Xinlian vowed to open as many coffins as she could this round and make Zhao Kai regret it.

She stormed off into another chamber.

If she’d been smarter, she might have realized that since two valuable items had just been drawn from the previous chamber, the remaining coffins were likely safe and easy points.

Before she had time to react—

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

The Beauties’ Camp changed positions once again.

…

Thud—

Half an hour before the end of the fifth round, a coffin lid was shoved open from inside.

Ling Su sat sulking on a coffin nearby.

Even though his expression was foul, he immediately got up to check on the situation. He reached in and pulled apart the two women curled up together like conjoined twins.

“Tch—”

Su Ci was lifted into his arms. She felt like she’d been run over by a truck—her body soft and limp, on the verge of falling apart.

“What, did she hurt you?”

Ling Su looked down. Her cheeks were still flushed, her skin lightly sheened with sweat, eyes glazed, lips red and swollen. She looked like she’d been thoroughly ravished.

Su Ci needed a few moments to catch her breath. Her dazed brain slowly rebooted, and as feeling returned to her limbs, she clutched at Ling Su’s shoulder and stood up, gasping.

Li Song climbed out of the coffin and picked up a small, dull-looking wooden plaque.

Etched on it were the words: “Wedding Night Bliss”

[Congratulations Player Li Song for completing the random trial: ‘Land of Tenderness’. Points +100]

[Congratulations Player Su Ci for completing the random trial: ‘Land of Tenderness’. Points +100]

Ling Su couldn’t see this message. Noticing Su Ci’s poor condition, he turned to Li Song with a scowl. “What the hell did you do to her in there?”

Li Song brushed back her wavy curls and narrowed her eyes, clearly savoring the memory—her every glance seductive and dramatic.

“Got married.”

She glanced at the now-vanished coffin, sounding a little regretful.

“Sixteen times. My darling Su Su looked so beautiful—I wish we could’ve stayed buried in there forever.”

A sentence that worked on multiple levels.
