A ruthless, unhinged Emperor Venerable as the pursuer × a carefree and unrestrained Immortal Venerable in their past life, now a cool and composed beloved
Angst romance + past and present lives + winning back one's wife + cultivation
Torturing your wife feels good for a while, but winning her back is a long road through hell.
Synopsis: Fu Qingyi believed he had done nothing in his life to be ashamed of, and that he had done right by both heaven and earth and the human race. He had quelled the turmoil between humans and ghosts, then guarded the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda alone with his sword for a hundred years. He thought that with the world at peace and humanity flourishing, there would be nothing left for him to do.
But the disciples he took in were one worse than the next.
His eldest disciple spent all day thinking either of killing his father to seize the throne or of betraying his teacher and ancestors. His second disciple never stopped preaching about righteousness, but who would have guessed he was a backstabbing villain? His third disciple, at least, devoted himself to cultivation and showed real promise.
It was only when the Immortal Venerable Qinglian had his spiritual meridians crippled and his spiritual core ripped out, leaving him no choice but to sever his life force and cut off his path to reincarnation, that Fu Qingyi understood: this was the wolf who had been hiding in plain sight all along...
Ye Shengyuan awoke from the primordial age, and after his beloved died a terrible death, he sealed his soul and fell into a deep slumber. He sent one fragment of his soul into the mortal world to find his beloved's reincarnation, only to encounter someone who opposed him at every turn. He even took a cool, otherworldly master, as ethereal as an immortal, only for fate to lead him round and round until he found... his master?
