There Can Only Be One Dragon Proudsky on This Mountain

[A wild, competitive young Dragon Proud Heaven, the greatest sword cultivator of this world, X a gentle, restrained, husbandly demon ghost, the greatest sword cultivator of his previous life]

This novel is also known as The Max-Level Sword Cultivator Is Still Wild Today

Blurb:

Teng Luoyue always thought she was the "Dragon Proud Heaven" from the transmigrator's book.

That was, until the demon ghost she rescued from the righteous sects casually swung his sword right in front of her.

It was the Limitless Sword Intent that breaks through the Ninth Realm.

Only then did she realize she had gotten two things wrong:

One, she wasn't Dragon Proud Heaven. The real Dragon Proud Heaven was the demon ghost she had always been protecting.

Two, this demon ghost was Xie Lingyi, the greatest sword cultivator in the world, whom she had dreamed of challenging to a duel, but whose body had been taken over by the transmigrator.

The day she learned the truth.

Teng Luoyue drew her sword. "Come on, let's duel! Let me see who's really the greatest sword cultivator in the world!"

Demon ghost: "? We just got married yesterday."

Teng Luoyue: "My desire for victory blinded me to love."

The demon ghost fell silent for a moment.

"...The noodles are going cold."

She looked down.

Two steaming bowls of noodles sat on the table.

He had just brought them over.

She slid her sword back into its sheath.

"All right, then. We'll fight tomorrow."

As the greatest sword cultivator in the world, Xie Lingyi was destined to bear the burden of saving the world.

After sacrificing himself for the Dao, he thought everything had finally settled. Beneath him stretched an abyss, ten thousand fathoms deep. Exhausted, he closed his eyes and let the countless demon ghosts at the bottom of the valley tear apart and devour his broken body.

This life had simply been too tiring.

At last, he could rest.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dao gave him another chance to begin again.

When he opened his eyes, he had been reborn as the lowliest kind of demon ghost, while the body that had once been renowned throughout the world was occupied by a soul from another world.

Everyone insulted and trampled on him, shouting that he should be killed. He took it as Heaven's punishment for his "impure Dao heart" in his previous life.

In this life of atonement, he met a young woman who went around hugging her sword, eyes shining as she shouted that she would become the greatest sword cultivator in the world.

"Becoming the greatest sword cultivator in the world may not be a good thing."

"Then I'll have to become one first to find out!"

The girl was guileless as uncarved jade, vivid as a beam of light shining into the abyss. In the life where he kept falling, she was the most beautiful scenery he had ever passed through.

When he was once again pushed onto the path of sacrificing himself for all under Heaven, he walked it calmly and without hesitation, even willingly.

From the ten-thousand-fathom abyss of the Valley of Chaotic Ghosts, he looked up and saw the azalea clinging to the cliff, its petals covered in dewdrops.

The girl who was always brave and strong in his memories shed tears for the first time.

He thought, I have no regrets in this life. The human world is worth it.

*

"I love everything pure in this world."

"Flawless jade, freshly fallen snow, an unstained lotus."

"But none of it can compare to the pure world in your heart."

[Being world-weary is my attitude, but protecting all living beings is my duty!]

A few things to know before reading:

The plot-to-romance ratio is seven to three.

Two strong leads, both male and female leads are powerful. The story does not go out of its way to emphasize which one is stronger.

Let me recommend my upcoming novel, Winning Over the Dragon Proud Heaven's Black Moonlight [Male Lead Pursues Female Lead] *

Coercive courtship | Both leads are substitutes | Male lead pursues female lead

-The spoiled, willful young lady wants nothing more than a dog who obeys her every word-

Man Ye never imagined that after treating Chi Jingxi with nothing but beatings and insults in her previous life, she could still become the white moonlight he could never forget.

Man Ye was born with a spiritual core that the entire cultivation world coveted.

But to obtain it, she had to willingly cut out her own heart and offer it up.

Throughout the first half of Man Ye's life, countless people found ways to get close to her and treat her well. The result of trusting them was betrayal and imprisonment.

She was lifted high above the crowd, adored by all, only to be thrown down hard.

Man Ye spent the second half of her life in seclusion on a small hill, watching the seasons change all alone.

She thought maliciously that if anyone else came along and bothered her, she would make sure they got no kindness from her.

And when a ragged little beggar stumbled into her home, Man Ye did exactly as she had imagined: she unleashed all the pain and resentment of her life on him.

She made him climb the steepest mountain with his bare hands to pick Seven-Evil Flowers for her, and made him test the poisons she had concocted haphazardly.

She shamelessly drew comfort from his suffering.

Later, several cultivators who had once deceived her became sect leaders and joined forces to come kill her.

Man Ye looked at the little beggar, covered in blood yet still determined to stand in front of her, and suddenly smiled.

She cut out her own heart with her hands and gave it to the ragged little beggar, who had no talent for cultivation.

*

Only after being reborn did Man Ye learn that she was living in a Dragon Proud Heaven novel aimed at a male readership.

That little beggar was the male protagonist. Later, he could never forget her and even found a substitute who looked just like her.

And now she had transmigrated into the body of that substitute.

She resolved to stay away from all the turmoil and finally enjoy the simple pleasures of ordinary life that she had never experienced in her previous life.

But the male protagonist stuck to her every day, never leaving her side, and went to all sorts of lengths to treat her well.

Man Ye couldn't take it anymore, so she used the Heartbinding Bell to read his thoughts.

She heard strange words like System and affection level.

The body before her had been occupied by a soul that had transmigrated from another world, and his goal was to win her over.

Every day, Man Ye watched the man rush around doing whatever she asked, even when her demands were unreasonable. Through him, she saw the little beggar from long ago, who had treated her with the same kindness.

She had thought she was holding the clichéd script of "a doomed white moonlight reborn in a substitute's body," but instead she had landed in the tacky plot of being pursued by a male lead who had transmigrated into a book.

No matter how carefully he schemed or how he used tenderness as bait, she only lowered her eyes and smiled, unmoved.

The first disciple of the greatest sect, a once-in-a-thousand-years sword prodigy, none of them could compare to that little beggar who had been covered in wounds but stubbornly stood in front of her.

I'm making a pot of melodramatic pork rib soup. Stop by and have a taste!~
