Back to Before I Betrayed My Demon Husband

The earth-shaking battle between the immortals and the fiends lasted a hundred days, ending with Jiang Zhou, leader of the righteous path, executing the Ghost Lord.

The Ghost Lord, Pei Duxuan, revealed his enormous demon form. His blood flowed like a sea, stretching on without end.

As his soul scattered, he saw Lu Yuezhao standing beside Jiang Zhou. His demonic pupils trembled uncontrollably, and boundless hatred poured out of him.

Lu Yuezhao turned and left without expression.

She absolutely could not let anyone discover that she was the mortal wife the Ghost Lord had searched for over a hundred years: Lu Zhao.

Lu Yuezhao was the daughter of the Palace Master of the Divine Sky Palace in the Upper Realm, with a status beyond compare.

A hundred years ago, she was harmed by someone, her spiritual meridians sealed, and she fell to the Lower Realm, reduced to an ordinary mortal.

The Upper and Lower Realms were separated by the Sea of Crossing Delusions, as if divided by an impassable chasm. Lu Yuezhao had thought she would never return to the Divine Sky Palace.

But through a twist of fate, she married someone from the demon clan.

He treated her wonderfully, even giving up everything to send her across the Sea of Crossing Delusions to the Upper Realm to "find her family."

The immortal and demon clans were bitter enemies, so her affair with a demon had to remain secret. She therefore staged an accident, making "Lu Zhao" fall into the Sea of Crossing Delusions and vanish without a trace.

She never expected Pei Duxuan to leap into the Sea of Crossing Delusions to search for her. He survived by the skin of his teeth and gained a new opportunity, eventually becoming the Ghost Lord of the Lower Realm and opposing her foster brother, Jiang Zhou, at every turn.

How could three years of marriage compare with the childhood bond she shared with her brother?

Lu Yuezhao secretly revealed Pei Duxuan's weakness to Jiang Zhou, helping him kill the Ghost Lord.

With peace restored to the world, what awaited Lu Yuezhao was not a grand wedding, but a cup of poisoned wine.

There was pity in the other person's eyes. "Miss, it was Jiang Zhou who caused you to fall to the Lower Realm all those years ago.

Only after Lu Yuezhao died did she learn that she had transmigrated into an old-school cultivation novel aimed at male readers. The protagonist, Jiang Zhou, was the child of destiny, and everyone who opposed him would die without even a body left behind.

And she had transmigrated as the cannon-fodder female character whose whole family eagerly delivered equipment to the protagonist.

Lu Yuezhao was reborn too late. The plot had already reached the point where Lu Zhao died, and she had returned to Jiang Zhou's side.

Gritting her teeth, she emptied the Divine Sky Palace of all its assets overnight and ran off, quickly making her way to find Pei Duxuan.

She owed Pei Duxuan from her previous life and felt guilty, so she decided to do a good deed and persuade him to find somewhere to hide instead of foolishly becoming the Ghost Lord and picking a fight with Jiang Zhou.

As for what happened after that, she would leave it alone!

She had already done this much to help him. She would respect other people's fates and let go of her compulsion to save them.

Pei Duxuan returned to the day he had leapt into the Sea of Crossing Delusions.

He lay on a shore piled with bones, his demonic core shattered and only a trace of breath remaining.

Remembering a life that had been one long deception, Pei Duxuan gradually lost his will to live. He thought it would be fine to end things here.

But Lu Yuezhao appeared once more.

She carried him through the Sea of Crossing Delusions, through its layers of miasma and nights prowled by monsters. "Pei Duxuan, I'll take you home."

She stayed with him as he rebuilt his bones and sinews step by step, taught him to cultivate, and even ended up covered in wounds protecting his people.

Pei Duxuan did not know why Lu Yuezhao acted so differently in this life.

But he gave her his heart once more, and let everything from the past fade away like smoke and dust.

He would love her well. If she wanted a position of supreme power, he would win it for her.

But Lu Yuezhao abandoned him once again and ran away.

*

The tide surged, and moonlight spread everywhere.

In the love nest they had built with their own hands, Pei Duxuan wound himself around Lu Yuezhao and kissed her thousands upon thousands of times.

Lu Yuezhao was like a fish tossed about by the cresting waves, battered up and down, nearly dying.

She cried until her throat was hoarse, then raised her hand and slapped his face sharply to the side.

Pei Duxuan's eyes were cool and clear. He gently caught her hand. "Be good, Zhaozhao. Aim here and hit me harder."
