Synopsis

[Sickly-sweet, unhinged beauty top]× [Older, laid-back bottom]

[Cultivation + obsessive and unhinged + forced love + chasing his wife to the crematorium]

The rating just came out, so it's low. It'll go up later.

Wang Xu was a laid-back rogue cultivator.

What was the best job for someone who just wanted to eat, wait, and die? Obviously, guarding the gate.

Who would have thought that after just two days on the job, he'd be imprisoned and forced into a relationship, then treated like someone's wife? Other people even thought he was the one getting a good deal.

What a joke! Anyone who wants this kind of “good deal” can have it!

He couldn't win a fight, and running away was out of the question. As a lazy rogue cultivator, he had no hope of improving his cultivation, so all he could do was take things one step at a time and start by serving the moody sect master like a boss.

Being inexplicably locked up and treated like a wife was hard to bear. But if I treat being someone's wife like going to work, how will you respond?

A rogue cultivator like him, with a scar on his face and not even the looks to be a cultivation vessel, had no chance of winning the esteemed sect master's love.

He was merely a pawn forced to play a part in a conspiracy, unable to control his own fate, and a convenient shield for someone else.

What? The sect master was serious about him?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Li Zhuoyan had known from the very beginning that Wang Xu didn't love him.

He had forced this relationship on him, but that was all right. At least that person was still by his side. It didn't matter if he hated him.

Given enough time, anyone could get used to anything.

He'd plotted this for a long time. There was no reason it could fail, so...

Huh? Wait! Where's my wife? Where did my big, beautiful wife go?

I cried while reading it. I really love this story and hope the two characters have a happy ending. But the story is over, and I don't know what happened outside of it. Anyway, I still hope they are both doing well. After reading it, I felt a little sad that I don't know why. It's truly a very good story, and it felt like it really happened, so it had a big impact on me.

It's so powerful, so beautiful! The writing is so gentle, yet beneath that gentleness lies an undercurrent of sadness. This book isn't really a sad or happy ending; it's like an ancient story, like the myths I read in my childhood. It was supposed to unfold this way, but when the story ended, it felt like I'd just woken from a dream.

I've finished the whole book! Those who prioritize plot are in for a treat. The story focuses on the plot, with romance as a secondary element. The most tragic character is the protagonist, whose mother suffers from beginning to end. Author, you heartless man, couldn't you have written something a little sweeter? You've let everyone down! I absolutely love Qu Wenhuan, but they still didn't end up together. And it's an open ending! Watch out, we might send you razor blades!

It's incredibly good! I initially thought it would be a wallpaper-ready type of story, but the more I read, the more profound it became. The author's world-building is truly fascinating, and the characters are vividly portrayed. Each character has their own unique personality and is very lifelike. Although the ending is happy, I still feel a little unsatisfied with some of the characters' fates. I'm really looking forward to the author releasing a side story! 💕💕💕

The world-building is interesting, and then there's the "tomato, I hate you, I want a bite" thing. Then time flies by so fast! I was still wondering how long the timeline was, and then I saw that the milk was still alive, and I suddenly felt a little dazed. How to put it... A very fast-paced cultivation journey 🤔

Please change the name, teacher. It's very well written, with a great imagination, a smooth plot, and excellent writing. "Li Huo" (离火) is almost ready to be renamed, really!

It's very well-written, a suspenseful and eerie story disguised as a cultivation fantasy, with a humorous tone. However, it's a bit mind-bending and difficult to understand. It doesn't feel like a happy ending at all; maybe I just didn't understand it, and the romance plot is unresolved. But it's really good though.

After listening for a while, the plot and character settings seem very similar to the Korean webtoon "Your Highness," even quite similar?? [What?]
