My Husband Is Cultivating the Heartless Way

A high-and-mighty sword immortal male lead x an energetic girl from humble beginnings

Xu You dozed off at her desk. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the world of cultivation.

But why was this cultivation world nothing like the ethereal, immortal realm she'd imagined?

The sky was blood-red, sword light flashed everywhere, and a fox demon behind her was opening its enormous jaws.

What should you do when you've been handed a catastrophic script?

The first priority was figuring out how to survive in this dark cultivation world.

Xu You decided to cling tightly to the leg of the sword cultivator who had appeared out of nowhere.

Wherever Xie Wu Yan went, Xu You went, too.

When he slayed demons, Xu You hid behind a tree and cheered him on in her heart.

When he sawed wood to make furniture, Xu You lounged in a rocking chair nearby and supervised.

When he cooked, Xu You served him tea and water.

When he slept, Xu You warmed his bed...

Hmm?

Something seemed off.

Xu You calmed down. In the end, she'd just been dazzled by his looks!

But she couldn't say no to that gorgeous face, and before she knew it, she'd exchanged wedding vows with Xie Wu Yan.

On second thought, she'd come out ahead.

He was penniless and had lost all his memories, but where else could Xu You find a husband as graceful and otherworldly as an immortal, who also knew just how to please her in bed?

After they married, their life was peaceful. They never argued, and their love was deep.

She thought they would go on living in harmony like this.

Until one day, a group of cultivators showed up at their door, claiming that her gentle, ever-accommodating husband was a long-missing disciple of their sect.

Not only was he a once-in-a-century swordsmanship prodigy, but he also cultivated the Path of Heartlessness.

Xu You was stunned for a long time. So the so-called Path of Heartlessness meant that a cultivator must be free of personal attachments and private love, treating all things equally.

Like the Supreme One who has forgotten love, looking upon the world with cold detachment.

After regaining his memories, Xie Wu Yan left without a word.

Only Xu You had believed their seven years of married life were real.

Fortunately, Xie Wu Yan wasn't completely heartless. He brought Xu You back with him to the Xiao Mountain Immortal Estate, where she became a menial disciple.

Xu You spent her days cooking over the stove in the dining hall, content and at ease.

Xie Wu Yan returned to being the swordsmanship leader everyone answered to.

She thought the two of them would never have anything to do with each other again, until one day, while going down the mountain to exterminate demons, Xu You accidentally entered a fox's cave in the Ten Thousand Demons' Grotto. Inside the illusion was a wedding bed beneath red candles.

Then she looked again, and the handsome man before her, dressed in a bright red wedding robe with swordlike brows and shining eyes, seemed awfully familiar.

Xie Wu Yan gazed at the lovely, radiant face beneath the bridal veil. His normally calm eyes flickered ever so slightly.

"Miss Xu, please help me put on an act."

From an obscure cultivator to a sword immortal who shook the eight corners of the world.

Xie Wu Yan needed less than a century.

His most revered elder pierced his heart with a sword. He was about to become a puppet controlled by a thousand threads.

Through his blurred vision, he saw the girl he'd once held in the palm of his hand and treasured like a jewel charging toward him, sword in hand, without a moment's hesitation.

As his life ebbed away like sand, all he could think was that he hadn't yet had the chance to tell her he'd abandoned the Path of Heartlessness long ago.

The Great Way begins after the heart has died; I mistook this life before it even began.
