After Breaking Up with My Nemesis, I Became the World's Greatest

When a righteous gentleman falls for a demoness from the demonic sect, everyone says the demoness bewitched him and the gentleman was blind. What if their genders were reversed?

Beiyu, an immortal-boned beauty who stands by forbidden love, answers: I would go from being the celebrated, most talented young woman in the Northern Lands to a disgraced outcast of the martial world, despised by all and mired in controversy.

Mo Huai, a demon who believes in true love above all else, answers: The difference between being hated by everyone and being someone everyone wants dead.

It all began on a sunny day when Beiyu, the academy's finest disciple and the senior sister of Sacred Sword Mountain, found a wounded, aloof young man by the roadside.

He was aloof, but smiled only at her. He cherished his life, yet jumped into the Soul-Destroying Pool for her. And he was incredibly handsome!

Beiyu's heart finally thawed. She gave him secret manuals and rare treasures, and discovered the joy of helping someone grow.

As the hidden gem began to shine, Mo Huai's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and his reputation soared.

Their marriage followed naturally.

Who could have guessed that, after their wedding, Mo Huai's origins would come to light?

Across the land, from the imperial court to the martial world, swords and blades were raised to hunt down the demon seed.

Immortal bones and demon seed, fated enemies. After finding herself with her husband turned adversary, Beiyu stood against the world for him, all because he had made her a promise.

"Mo Huai, swear that you'll always treat me well."

"Mm. I swear." The young man had a delicate, breathtaking face. His brows were clouded with sorrow, but his gaze burned with sincerity and affection.

But some vows shatter as soon as they're spoken.

Overnight, husband and wife turned against each other. He fell from her arms, and when he rose again, he was the lord of the demonic sect, pointing his sword at the sky and declaring war on the world.

---The following is from the male lead's perspective---

Mo Huai was abandoned at the age of six. He had been a beast in an arena and a slave beneath an iron whip, but never a person.

He had been ready to die, but Beiyu gave him a chance to live.

But living was much harder than dying.

He watched her shine brilliantly while he stood covered in mud.

Her friends and family were cold and displeased with him, regarding him with disgust and contempt. He swallowed it all in silence.

But night after night, one thought burned inside him: Become stronger. Stronger still, until no one in the world would dare disturb the two of them.

So he clawed his way upward like a madman. He crossed seas of blood and climbed mountains of corpses, until he became the supreme ruler of the demonic sect.

Until, atop the East Sea, she raised her sword against him.

"Are power over all and being king more important to you than I am?"

"No... But only if I'm stronger can I keep you."

In the silence, the wind echoed.

The light of day trembled, the sun and moon turned upside down. Who had struck whose heart with that sword?

The world is a crucible, and love is hard to avoid. A young man's passionate spirit must eventually fade.

In this life, what choice can we make that will let us answer to ourselves?

Reader's Guide:

[An indomitable genius young woman with immortal bones x a peerless demon lord who rose from the mire unstained]

[A devoted, mutually exclusive couple: sweet at first, enemies in the middle, then she runs and he chases, but he can't catch her even if he had wings]

This novel has an expansive world, a high-martial-arts, low-fantasy setting, and gender equality. Updates are steady, and I absolutely won't abandon it. Everyone is welcome to read!

Additional notes:

1. This is an ensemble story about young people, with the female lead at the center of the plot! The female lead is somewhat of a heartthrob.

2. The male lead is pure in both body and mind, so pure he shines, like clear white light. He loves the female lead beyond reason. The female lead is rather swept up in him at first, but later becomes incredibly level-headed.

3. The author is extremely strict about purity. Every male character in this novel, whether single or married, is pure, including the emperor, with a few scumbags as exceptions.

4. The biggest potential dealbreaker is already in the blurb.

Theme: Keep moving forward in life
