My Master Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness, Yet He Married Me? What Is He Playing At?

[Beautiful, strong, tragic “heartless” master + clueless “useless” disciple + devoted to each other + reborn + a sweet, painful, bittersweet, and cathartic mix]

On her wedding night, Hua Bao'er has a nightmare.

Her master, who dotes on and cherishes her, actually cuts out her heart with his own hands in front of everyone.

Only as she is dying does she learn that her master practices the evil, crooked way everyone despises: the Heartless Dao.

Hua Bao'er sees her master's jade-like, beautiful hands cradling the heart he cut from her chest. Summoning the last of her strength, she demands an answer.

“Master, if you practice the Heartless Dao, why did you marry me?”

But before she can hear his reply, she takes her last breath and dies.

Waking from her nightmare, Hua Bao'er stares at the master who treats her so well and falls into confused contemplation.

She cannot tell whether the dream was real, nor can she bring herself to decide to divorce him and flee for her life.

She has had a crush on her master for years, and now that she has finally gotten a taste of him, how can she leave without getting her fill?

Hua Bao'er looks down at the countless mottled purple marks covering her body, her eyes and brows full of sweetness.

“If Master really practices the Heartless Dao, how could he have been so wild and unrestrained last night...?”

After much deliberation, Hua Bao'er makes up her mind:

She will risk everything to find out whether the dream is true. If she spots anything amiss, she'll grab her things and run for her life at once.

Then she discovers that not only does her master practice the Heartless Dao, he has already fallen into demonic corruption!!!

Good heavens~

If not now, when will she run?!
