After Years of Being a Simp, I Learned My Adopted Maid Was the Female Emperor

<A taste of ancient fantasy + invincible among peers + heaven-defying talent + passionate battles and ruthless killing> Ye Beichen encounters an unconscious girl in the Godfall Valley. While trying to save her, he has his dantian shattered by a Netherworld Thunder Tiger. His grandfather, the Grand Elder of the Xuantian Sect, goes to the battlefield of gods and demons in search of a rare treasure for his grandson, only to perish there. As if things could not get any worse, Ye Beichen’s childhood sweetheart arrives to break off their engagement. Feeling humiliated, Ye Beichen refuses to agree. Who could have known that Zhao Xueqing would deliberately bring up their past in front of her new boyfriend? Lin Yun, the Young Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, feels as if Ye Beichen has put a vast green prairie over his head, so he hires someone to secretly murder him. At the critical moment, the maid Ye Beichen picked up smashes the enemy with a single palm strike. Looking at the unconscious man before her, she wears a complicated expression. Her face is hideously disfigured now, but who would know that she was once a peerless Empress renowned throughout the heavens? Even if she risks damaging the very foundation of her cultivation to save him... he probably would not give her a second look. It turns out the Empress is afflicted by the Fallen Immortal Curse. Every time she uses her profound power, her injuries worsen, but the patches on her face slowly fade, gradually revealing her peerless beauty. The moment the patches disappear completely... the Empress will perish as well... Perhaps he will grieve for me when that day comes, the Empress thinks to herself...
