Unbeatable in the Way of the Sword, Yet Tamed by My Rich Ex-Wife

After ten years of secluded cultivation, I return with the power of a peak Fusion cultivator and ten thousand swords at my command, hoping to make amends for our old love with the supreme way of the sword. But she simply raises her hand and summons eighty thousand spirit-stone turrets, blasting my pride to pieces. “Sword Immortal Lin, your sword isn’t even as loud as the fireworks I bought.” A bill for an astronomical sum later, I become my former fiancée’s employee, earning thirty low-grade spirit stones a month.

I’m a swordsmanship genius seen once in ten thousand years. I believe one sword can break all techniques, yet I’m too poor to afford a teleportation array.

She’s the mortal woman I broke off my engagement with, now awakened to the God-Tier Investment System and in possession of billions of spirit stones. She believes money can make the gods answer to her.

I’m forced to work security in a spirit-stone mine, while the System panel rates me as “the SSS-grade investment with the highest return.”

I slay a Demon Venerable with one stroke and shake the world. She says, “Not bad. That slash was worth ten million. I’ll add it to your tab.”

I fight for my sect until I’m drenched in blood and nearly lose my life. She says, “Don’t die. I invested in your life. Who would I collect from if you died?”

I roar, “Su Man! One day, I’ll use my sword to make you respect me again!”

She smiles and strokes my sword. “Your sword, your life, everything you have is my most successful investment. Want to pay it off? Sure. Marry into my family.”
