I’m Gu Yunchen, the leading figure of the righteous path, code-named “King Yama.” To protect my frail Dao companion, I willingly play the part of a sickly man at our sect.

I’m Su Ling’er, ruler of all demons, honored as the “Heavenly Fox.” To protect my ailing husband, I’m happy to play a little crybaby in front of everyone.

Bound together by a “Heaven-Locking Marriage Pact,” we both think the other is a helpless mortal, so we put on an act every day.

[I thought my wife’s tumble was just good luck, and that she happened to finish off the demon. Little did I know she had calculated the heavens, finding the one and only fatal strike among billions of possibilities!]

[I thought my husband knocked over the pills because he was clumsy, and that the assassin died of poison by accident. Little did I know he had used his own body as a furnace to refine a forbidden toxin capable of killing gods and demons in an instant!]

[I laid a net to lure our powerful enemy into a trap and slaughter him. Before I could act, he cut down the enemy and the entire sect gate with a single sword strike!]

[I summoned a flood of demons, planning to frighten off our rival sect. But just as I made my move, she hummed a tune that sent every elder on the other side into cultivation deviation!]

The entire cultivation world went mad:

Ancient Demon Venerable, breaking down: “I’ve ruled for ages, and I got tripped up by a ‘sickly man,’ then slapped out of existence by a ‘little crybaby’? How is that reasonable?!”

Righteous-path prodigy, questioning his life: “So the swordsmanship I’m so proud of looks no different to ‘King Yama’ than a three-year-old swinging a wooden stick?”
