I Married a Harmless Bookkeeper to Lay Low... He’s the Eldritch God.
"I just wanted an ordinary husband to blend into the crowd... I didn't expect him to be the Nightmare of the Abyss."
Vivienne is a reawakened Necromancer Queen fleeing elite assassins. To hide her terrifying powers and secure a peaceful cover, she signs a contract marriage with Raymond—a seemingly meek, quiet owner of a dusty antique bookstore. Her plan? Protect her fragile husband, stay under the radar, and rebuild her undead army in secret.
Raymond is a ruthless transmigrator bound to the Eldritch Lore System. To the outer world, he's just a polite bookkeeper. But under the shroud of night, he is the masked deity behind the infamous Tarot Gathering, binding cosmic horrors and dark ghosts into his store's ledger. His plan? Keep his delicate new wife safe from the dark supernatural world while quietly expanding his eldritch domain.
For months, they live under one roof, playing the ultimate game of high-stakes charades:
When Raymond offers her a cup of hot tea, Vivienne overanalyzes it as a cryptic cosmic prophecy.
When cultists flee his shop screaming in terror, Vivienne assumes her "innocent" husband just got lucky.
And when shadowy monstrosities wipe out her enemies, she thanks the dark gods for protecting her "defenseless" spouse.
But when the city's strongest dark factions join forces to destroy the bookstore, the masks are finally shattered.
Standing side-by-side amidst the carnage, the innocent bookkeeper summons hellfire from the heavens, while his fragile wife raises an army of the damned.
They look at each other, smile ruthlessly, and realize... neither of them was ever playing the victim.
