Synopsis

[Xuanhuan / One female lead / System / Both are each other's first and only / Slightly yandere heroine / Some angst / Lots of everyday life / Most of the major pitfalls have been fixed]

Before Wang Yuan entered the cultivation world in his own body, he had a beautiful, cool-headed girlfriend who looked like a goddess and was willing to be close only to him.

But three years ago, during the one and only kiss she had ever been willing to share with him, his cool girlfriend mysteriously vanished right before his eyes.

For the next three years, Wang Yuan tried every way he could think of to find her, only to finally despair and accept that she had truly vanished without a trace, or... died.

Then one day, a System came to Wang Yuan and told him that if he won over the cold Empress of the cultivation world, who practiced the Ruthless Dao, it would help him find his missing girlfriend.

Hope immediately bloomed in Wang Yuan's heart once more, and he agreed to the System's terms without hesitation.

But after enduring countless hardships in the cultivation world, Wang Yuan finally met the cold Empress who supposedly practiced the Ruthless Dao, only to discover...

This, this, this! Isn't she his beautiful, cool-headed girlfriend who vanished over three years ago, the one he'd spent all that time searching for?!

But when Wang Yuan stood before his cool-headed girlfriend, now an Empress of the Ruthless Dao, and called out to her, she chose to pretend not to know him.

And as if pretending not to know him and breaking his heart weren't enough, the Ruthless Empress even wanted to lock him up, saying she'd like to keep him as a little pet!?

I'm outta here!

After Wang Yuan makes a slippery escape and runs off for good, the supposedly cold and heartless Empress starts crying her eyes out and begging him to come back. What does that mean?

I feel this is going to be another masterpiece. I really like the female lead's character; I can't find this kind of vibe in other novels 😢 I love the aloof, single female lead. Please update soon!

The earlier, more angsty parts were really good, very relatable 😢, it reminded me of my own experience. I thought she really liked me, and I arrogantly tried to comfort her with all my heart, but she always avoided my feelings, leaving me alone to suffer. The emotional descriptions in the beginning of the novel were truly excellent.

It's pretty good. I've read all of Wang Xiaofeng's books; I really love his writing 💕. His style is also very distinctive. Again, the female lead is Jiang, and the male lead's surname is Wang. This book is a bit hard to predict in the beginning, but it gets better later. I highly recommend it 🤦

This is the author's third book. The romance between the male and female leads progresses very quickly, but given their three-year dating history on Earth, it's not surprising. The female lead's yandere and dark side is also well-written. The early part has a bit of a "chasing-her-husband-in-a-lifetime" feel to it; those who don't like this kind of plot can speed things up. The later parts of the book are very sweet.

Wow, not bad, not bad! It's good, I love watching it. The male lead is irresponsible and runs away without hesitation, but the female lead quickly changes her mind. Update soon!

I highly recommend this novel; believe me, it's genuinely good, after reading so many novels! A huge thumbs up!!! 🤮

Although it started slowly but improved significantly, the writing wasn't completely messed up; in fact, it was very well done. However, the author seemed to be constantly blaming themselves later on. 😄 The author's romance plot is beautiful; I've already read three books already. 🤔 I'll continue reading other ones and hope the author can adjust their style and succeed.

The first thirty chapters were alright, much better than Nine Deaths. The male lead was no longer so humble in love, and had his own little temper. Both sides took the initiative to make sacrifices and compromises, and responded proactively to each other's feelings.

7/10 - A novel combining elements of cultivation, romance, yandere, a woman who lives off a man, a domineering plot twist, and a "chasing after her husband" scenario. Stripped of its cultivation fantasy premise, it's essentially a classic urban romance novel featuring a domineering, yandere female lead.

Xiao Feng's writing is still consistently high-quality. I can only say that I've basically never seen anyone write better in this genre. I've read two of her books, and I thought they were both quite good. Keep writing! They're always too short; even when I'm reading later, it never feels like enough! 🤭
