In his previous life, Xie Chenyuan was a notorious scoundrel who betrayed his master and sect, and slaughtered his way through the world of the occult. At long last, he died, only to open his eyes and find himself reborn as a delinquent who was supposed to have drowned.
In this new life, the sect he'd once "bullied," "destroyed," and dragged through the mud hadn't fallen into ruin. Instead, it had risen to become the foremost orthodox sect in the occult world, with a flourishing incense trade.
After dying and coming back to life, Xie Chenyuan inherited only the delinquent's illegally modified, unregistered motorcycle, a shaman grandfather who could barely draw breath, and a mushroom haircut so green it made people uneasy.
The contrast was so stark, it was as if fate itself had dealt him his just desserts.
Karma? Xie Chenyuan, whose name had been nailed to the pillar of shame for betraying and destroying his sect, where generations of occult practitioners had spent hundreds of years cursing him three times a day, refused to accept it. He planned to become karma itself and make the long-peaceful occult world feel the shock of a rebellious disciple again. Seeing his former sect flourish was worse than dying!
But before he could put his plan into action, someone showed up at his door. The visitor was as fair as jade, handsome as a bamboo stalk, a peerless beauty of pure and noble bearing. Clearly, they were nothing alike. Sure enough, the visitor opened with, "Our tomb collapsed."
Had the damn occult world used his corpse in a ghost marriage?!
The visitor wasn't making things up. The tombstone inscription was proof:
Four hundred years ago, a dragon ran rampant and floods swept the land, leaving people on both banks displaced and destitute. A Taoist devised a plan to bring peace: he arranged for the dragon to marry a human woman, who would serve him as a wife and mother to his children, taming his savage nature and restraining the evil dragon. Thus the floods ceased, and the region found peace.
Xie Chenyuan couldn't accept it. "I'm the human wife... husband?"
The visitor nodded. "I'm the evil dragon."
A scoundrel paired with an evil dragon. What a cursed fate... This was heaven's gift to him!
