Reborn, Ye Xuan, the Demon Venerable of the Nine Hells, finds himself bound to an eccentric, abstract System. Its mission: marry his archrival from his previous life, Ling Qingxue, the head of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and make her his Dao companion. Fail, and he’ll have to wear a mushroom on his head and sing “Love’s a Deal” for the rest of his life?!
To unlock the System’s divine powers, Ye Xuan makes his move first: disguise himself, fake having saved her life, and spread a charlatan’s prophecy about their “heaven-appointed match”! While Ling Qingxue is still dazed from being reborn, he successfully “tricks” his icy nemesis into becoming his fiancée.
Life under one roof? Total chaos! The System acts up every day:
“Recite cheesy love lines with feeling to gain +1 charm!”
“Dance the ‘Love’s Magic Spin’ together! Meet the synchronization requirement to get a combined skill. Fail, and you’ll be stuck together for twelve hours!”
The comments go wild: “The Host’s acting is so over the top!” “Madam’s killing intent is +999. Host, stay safe!”
Ling Qingxue: This “husband” is slick-tongued and strangely familiar. I keep suspecting he’s that damned Demon Lord... Ye Xuan: I’m barely holding back laughter as I watch my enemy fly into a rage, while nervously guarding my secret identity. How did I end up falling for her while trying to trick her?
As the blood feud from their past lives collides with their “married couple business” in this one, absurd missions and the risk of having his identity exposed go hand in hand. Watch the Demon Venerable and the sword immortal out-act each other while a broken System forces them to race down an absurd path of cultivation, in a hilarious, sword-clashing tale of one spouse chasing the other to the crematorium!
