Chu Mingju, the foremost sword cultivator in the immortal path, hates demons more than anything. If he sees one, he kills it.
One day, he falls into a demon lair and runs into the demon lord himself. He immediately draws his sword to slay him, but the other man catches him by the wrist. A red thread winds around their fingers, and a marriage pact is forged.
Yan Yiao, lord of the Sacred Demon City, hates cultivators more than anything. If he sees one, he kills them.
Yet when Chu Mingju presses his sword to Yan Yiao's heart, Yan Yiao looks into those cool, dazzling eyes and falls for him at first sight.
The demon lord and the immortal lord get married.
The immortal lord cultivates the Heartless Sword Path. He is a heartless man who tries to assassinate the demon lord every day and escape from his side.
At first, the demon lord finds the immortal lord amusing.
Chu Mingju attempts an assassination every day, and every time he is subdued.
So much for the greatest swordsman under heaven.
Later, after being assassinated so many times, even the demon lord starts to feel a little sad.
They have been married for years and shared a bed every night, yet Chu Mingju still has no feelings for him.
A cultivator of the Heartless Sword Path truly has no heart.
Later still, the demon lord gets used to it.
In fact, if Chu Mingju ever goes a day without hitting him, scolding him, or trying to assassinate him, Yan Yiao feels as though something is missing.
Yan Yiao: Why aren't you trying to kill me today? Are you still angry because I went too far last night?
Chu Mingju: Get lost.
Yan Yiao is satisfied.
The Sacred Demon City is heavily guarded, and Chu Mingju still bears the marriage pact. Even if Chu Mingju never develops feelings for him in all eternity, Yan Yiao doesn't mind. It's enough that Chu Mingju will always be his.
Until one day, in the immortal lord's old home, the demon lord happens upon a letter.
At first glance, it appears to be a marriage proposal.
Someone actually dared to send Chu Mingju a marriage proposal. They must have a death wish.
At second glance, it is a suicide note.
They really did die.
Yan Yiao sneers, then lowers his gaze and sees his own name at the end of the letter.
A beauty who sees no point in living, the recipient of affection x a mad dog who'd die if he didn't act like a jerk
#A forced-love story about a husband who's dead on the outside#
Cat-like bottom / dog-like top / older man / equally matched leads / one-on-one / happy ending / only each other, body and heart
Chu is the bottom, Yan is the top. No swapping or reversing.
Theme: The Way may seem heartless, yet it is full of feeling.
