The Villain Won't Clear Their Name, They'll Just Topple the Cultivation World

With the Daoist partner ceremony fast approaching, Yun Li receives a letter from her childhood friend: a notice breaking off their engagement.

Xiao Shizhi, a leading figure from the cultivation world's second-largest sect, has fallen for another woman. Their engagement, which has lasted more than three hundred years, is now void.

There is no shortage of gossipmongers in the cultivation world, and Yun Li quickly becomes a laughingstock.

Huo Wangfei is the cultivation world's foremost prodigy, dazzling and brazen, carefree and unruly, proud and untamed.

When his playful gaze falls on Yun Li, she instinctively senses danger.

Huo Wangfei watches the wary woman flee and scoffs. “Breaking off the engagement? Just what I wanted.”

Then one day, Huo Wangfei, the corners of his eyes a vivid red, pins Yun Li against a wall. She hears the bitterness in his voice: “You were supposed to be my Daoist partner, my wife.”
