Shen Sui transmigrated into a book and became the doomed Daoist partner of the overpowered protagonist.
Facing a future where he would be repudiated and die a miserable death in ten years, Shen Sui could hardly wait.
He kept courting death, making the protagonist hate him to the core, while secretly and ambitiously learning demonic arts.
After the protagonist broke off their engagement, Shen Sui faked his death and fled to the Demon Realm, transforming into a Demon Lord renowned across the Three Realms.
Just as he was living it up, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck him right on target.
When he opened his eyes, his former partner stood before him in a bright red wedding robe.
Shen Sui’s vision went black.
He had returned to the day, ten years earlier, when he married the overpowered protagonist.
Shen Sui shut his eyes in despair.
Well, ten years of work down the drain.

Shen Sui continued following the plot, courting death even faster.
To reach the broken-engagement scene sooner, he hired a gentle, charming green-tea cultivator outside the sect, then brazenly brought him right in front of the overpowered protagonist, savoring the instant his face turned black as a pot.
Shen Sui: This is in the bag.
The protagonist would surely loathe him and want to sever ties as soon as possible.
This time, Shen Sui would become the Demon Lord even sooner and enjoy a carefree life.
At last, the day of the broken engagement arrived. Shen Sui appeared in high spirits, bringing the green-tea junior cultivator along.
He delivered his final death-seeking line:
“Break off the engagement already. I’m in a hurry to elope with my junior cultivator.”
After speaking, Shen Sui looked up at the overpowered protagonist.
As Shen Sui watched in eager anticipation, the protagonist gave a meaningful laugh and coldly spat out two words: “In your dreams.”
What?!
Shen Sui was stunned. Why was this different from his previous life?!
The green-tea junior cultivator beside him suddenly caressed his cheek, his voice achingly familiar. “Immortal Venerable, who are you breaking off the engagement to elope with? Me?”
The little green tea shed his disguise, revealing a face identical to the overpowered protagonist’s.
His partner, dressed in wedding robes, pressed against him from behind and sniffed his hair.
“Looks like Immortal Venerable is quite pleased with this clone of mine. That’s fine. If Immortal Venerable likes it, having one more person to serve you is no problem.”
A loud buzz filled Shen Sui’s mind, and his scalp prickled.
“When did you come back?”
“I was the one who activated the time-reversal formation. What did you think, husband?”

Later, Shen Sui deeply regretted hiring that little green tea.
He kicked the overpowered protagonist off him and wiped away a tear, just about to run, when another familiar figure came at him from behind.
The overpowered protagonist wore the green tea’s gentle face and softly said, “I’m tired of that face. Here’s another one that’s different.”
Shen Sui despaired.
Getting both flavors at once is great, but that’s not what I meant by satisfying both!!!
Both are devoted to each other, one-on-one romance, both reborn.
Theme: Keep striving forward
