I Slacked My Way to Invincibility, and Now the Heroine Is Panicking After Our Engagement Was Canceled

[Villain + dark tone + schemes + mastermind behind the scenes + no heroine]

After doing evil for ten years, Gu Xiaoyao suddenly gives up and spends every day lying in bed.

People across the land mock him, saying he's been struck down with paralysis as divine punishment.

Who could have guessed the Gu family would also face a broken engagement?

“I, Murong Yan, will never marry a useless man who only knows how to bully the weak.”

Even the young man who had been reborn in the academy couldn't help but wonder:

“What happened to Gu Xiaoyao in this life? In his previous life, he forcefully claimed Murong Yan and was cold and ruthless. How did he end up paralyzed?”

On the day the engagement is broken,

Gu Xiaoyao, paralyzed for ten years, stands up.

His sealed cultivation shakes the heavens and stuns the world.

“Xiaoyao, I'm the founding ancestor of the Gu family. You have fine talent, so why not sit up and cultivate? Could you stop lying down?”

“Gu Xiaoyao, today's our wedding day. Could you get up and perform the ceremony?”

“Young Lord, this man is practically a Saint. Do you really not need to stand up and fight him?”

A hundred thousand years later, as a great calamity strikes the Dao Realm and the world collapses, someone finally remembers him!

“The Gu family is finished. No, there's still a chance! Hurry to the back mountain. We still have an ancestor who's been lying down for tens of thousands of years!”
