For a long time, Lu Zhuoguang thought he was an empty shell without a heart or soul.
He could neither love nor hate. His death before he transmigrated into a book had been painless, and afterward, he couldn't be bothered to change. He spent every day in the artifact-forging room, doing his own thing, year after year.
Until he saw Leng Qianhe.
A young, arrogant genius sword cultivator, dressed in white, with blade-sharp brows and eyes. One distant glimpse was all it took to carve a deep mark into Lu Zhuoguang's pale, joyless soul.
Unfortunately, all he could do was watch from afar.
Later, the genius fell from grace, plunged into the mire and subjected to humiliation.
At the matchmaking ceremony that crushed the last shred of Leng Qianhe's dignity, Lu Zhuoguang gave up everything to take him home.
-
For hundreds of years, Leng Qianhe had basked in the admiration of others and his own arrogance. Only after all his cultivation was crippled did he see how foolish and naive he had been.
Mockery, disdain, scorn: they fell like snowflakes, cold and relentless. Leng Qianhe endured humiliation after humiliation. In the end, he was thrown into a ridiculous matchmaking ceremony, where he was expected to become some powerful cultivator's plaything.
Yet the one who became his cultivation partner and took him home was an obscure artifact forger.
The artifact forger was taciturn but gentle. He patiently cared for Leng Qianhe, who was now nothing more than a cripple, and it was clear his feelings were genuine.
Leng Qianhe decided to use him.
-
Lu Zhuoguang was an excellent person to use. He gave Leng Qianhe everything he wanted without a single complaint.
Once his cultivation was restored, Leng Qianhe mercilessly abandoned the artifact forger, who was no longer of any use to him, and unilaterally severed their cultivation-partner contract. He returned to the pinnacle, took his revenge, and reclaimed everything he had lost.
He stood atop the mountain as the cold wind howled, and suddenly realized that what he wanted most was Lu Zhuoguang's warm embrace and indulgent gaze. As long as Lu Zhuoguang was by his side, he had everything.
But Lu Zhuoguang hadn't waited for him.
One-on-one, pure love, both devoted to each other, happy ending
The abandoned lover's long road to redemption
