Good news: My enemy is poor and miserable.
Bad news: I've been bound to him, so we have to struggle through hard times together.
Good news: I spend all the money my enemy works so hard to earn every day, making him even poorer and more miserable.
Liu Xueyu slept for a hundred years. When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had been forcibly sealed inside a sword.
Although the sword's owner was a sword cultivator, he never used the "number one sword under heaven" that Liu Xueyu inhabited in battle. Instead, every time he charged into the fray, he carried a piece of scrap metal. Even worse, he really was invincible, with no one able to defeat him.
Trapped in the pitch-black scabbard with no way to call for help, Liu Xueyu eventually gave up and started slacking off. Every day, he burned incense and prayed in the small world formed by the scabbard, hoping his owner would die soon so he could be freed.
His hard work finally paid off.
One year's Lantern Festival, his owner finally drew him from the scabbard amid a sky full of flames. For the first time, he opened his eyes and saw this unfamiliar... familiar world.
And a face he hated with every fiber of his being, his sworn enemy...
Watching with his own eyes as the murderer who had killed him held the sword he inhabited and gazed tearfully at the tombstone bearing his name...
Liu Xueyu: ... I'd better go back to the scabbard and sleep.
Leveling-up, overpowered husband x arrogant, sharp-tongued sword-spirit wife
(The shou was not killed by the gong. This is a beautiful misunderstanding that runs through the entire story.)
Content warnings:
1. The shou is a little mean, but not evil. He gets revenge as soon as someone wrongs him, and he has to vent whenever he's angry. (If someone gives him a hard time and he can't get revenge right away, he'll take it out on the gong with punches and kicks.)
2. The gong is really devoted. He has the highest combat power in the whole book and is blessed with unbeatable luck, a typical overpowered male lead, but his love-addled brain overrides everything else at the deepest level.
