After the Metaphysics Master Came Down the Mountain, Her Wealthy Husband Came Back to Life

Yun Zhi regained consciousness amid a sharp headache and a choking sensation.

Countless fragments of unfamiliar memories surged into her mind like floodwaters bursting through a dam: the Yun family's fake heiress, the return of the true heiress, her family heartlessly abandoning her, and, in the end, drugging her and forcing her to marry Huo Zhenting, the business world's feared devil, said to be plagued by baleful energy and unlikely to live past the year. They called it a “wedding to bring him good fortune”...

“...This mess is worse than a heart demon trial.” Holding her forehead, she sat up and looked around the luxurious yet chilly bridal chamber. A faint smell of medicine hung in the air, along with an unmistakable trace of sinister yin energy.

As the foremost expert of the Mystic Sect, she was exceptionally sensitive to this kind of energy. This wasn't an ordinary illness. He had clearly been afflicted with a vicious curse.

Outside the door, servants were discussing him without the slightest attempt to hide it:

“...How pitiful. She married him just to become a widow in all but name.”

“Shh! Keep your voice down. Mr. Huo hates people talking about his illness...”

“What are you afraid of? She's just some bride brought in to bring good fortune. Does she really think she's the lady of the house? It's hard to say if the master will even make it through tonight!”

A cool smile curved Yun Zhi's lips.

She had failed to ascend, and the Heavenly Dao had closed one door on her, only to open this ridiculous window?

So be it.

Since she had taken over this body, she would avenge its former owner. She would deal with the trouble in front of her herself.

As for that bargain husband who was “on the verge of death”...

She stepped barefoot onto the floor and walked to the closed door. With a fingertip, she traced a shape in the air, and an invisible curse-breaking talisman quietly took form. The oppressive feeling choking the room instantly eased.

“Let's start by making sure you live through tonight.”
