His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

"It's must be your habit to abduct women," I mutter unhappily. Last night, he suddenly threw his robe on me and picked me up. I felt like I was being abducted. Then, he threatened me. I was so scared because of his dangerous voice that... I sort of fell asleep when he was carrying me. Anyway, I am sure that this is his place.

"I only abducted you so far if you think that it was an abduction." He picks up the dumpling with his chopstick and takes it near my mouth. I stare at it. It smells delicious, but I don't want to eat. If I eat it, he wins. He wants to lure me with food. Then, he will come up with new strategies.

I cross my arms to build an invisible defense. "You are not asking me how I got hurt."

"How did you get hurt?" The dumpling is still near my mouth. He isn't moving it. I am not eating it. Let's see how long he can keep it like this.

"I fell on a dagger and got stabbed." I narrow my eyes at him.

He sighs. "Who would believe such a stupid reason?"

"Exactly, right." I laugh and eat the dumpling. Kang Si An, his reincarnation, would say the exact stupid reason. The world is really strange. "Someone said that to me. Say, am I an idiot? Would I fall on a dagger and get stabbed?"

"No, an assassin probably stabbed you there." He puts another dumpling in my mouth. "You are energetic and happy. Let's get married today."

I cough wildly. He gives me a glass of water. Get married? What is the connection between assassin, energy, happiness, and marriage? He is not any less weird than Kang Si An. "Are you insane, Li Jun?"

"We are 3 months late." He wipes my mouth. "I told the emperor that you went back home to get your father's blessing. Since you are back, we should get married as soon as possible. We will have a simple ceremony."

"Wait!" I hold up my hand. "You saw me disappearing right in front of you like a ghost? You still want to marry me?"

"Yes." His answer is short and concise. No explanation. He gives me a soft shy smile. "I can't wait to see you in a wedding robe."

That's not... right. "I don't want to get married. You know that I am not... a human. I am a demon from the depth of hell. I am here on vacation. You can't marry a demon, Li Jun."

"Since the emperor wants me to marry a demon, I will marry a demon." He caresses my cheek. "You are a beautiful demon. I have no complaint."

I got no word to argue with this weirdo. "If I say no..."

"You will be executed for not following the emperor's command." His smile becomes wider. "Then, you will be exorcised back to the depth of the hell. I don't know which one will happen first. I wouldn't like any of it to happen to you."

"What if I disappear again before our wedding?" I cock my head and smirk.

"You will return," He tells me confidently. "Or I will find you."

This guy is more confident than me. Marrying someone like this is the last thing on my priority list. I don't know how to accept the fact that Li Jun will kill me in his next life. Wait, is this karma? I will wrong him now and he will butcher me in his next life?

"Li Jun, do you hold strong grudges?" I ask him carefully.

He nods at me.

I scratch my head to come up with solutions. "Li Jun, there are certain laws in hell. You see, demons cannot marry humans. The ruler of hell prohibits it strictly. So, I will get in trouble if I marry you."

"If you don't marry me, you will get in trouble now." He chuckles deeply. "I will negotiate with the ruler of hell after I die. You marry me today."

"..."

This is not working out. He is too smart.

***

Li Jun doesn't leave until the women arrive. They come at Kyuri like hounds who saw meat. Despite her strong protests, they prepare her for the wedding. The ceremony is simple. Only a few close people are attending. Li Jun doesn't want people to notice her. She easily stands out with her expression and accent. General Yu keeps sighing when she sees her niece getting married. She can't do anything to stop it. This Li Jun didn't delay a single day.

The not-so-blushing bride is taken to the chamber. Li Jun stays and drinks with the guests. He doesn't say or answer much. The men try to tease him, but his stoic expressions kill their joy.

"Don't show that expression to your pretty bride." The fifth prince slaps his back. "You know how to do it right?"

General Yu purses her lips and stares at him uneasily. She doesn't want to leave them alone. She can't stop either. Will her niece be alright?

"General Yu must be feeling lonely again." The fifth prince clasps on to her risk. "I will keep her company. Don't make your bride wait for a long time."

Before the poor general could protest, the fifth prince drags her away. The guests also leave since the royal people are gone. Li Jun walks back to the chamber. She is drinking wine directly from the bottle. She looks at him with slight anger in her eyes. "You aren't allowed to molest me, understand?"
