The Victims of the Heartless Dao Alliance

In recent years, “killing your husband to prove your Dao” has become the mainstream path to enlightenment for cultivators of the Ruthless Dao. The latest findings from the Tianji Pavilion show that “younger disciple and older master + Ruthless Dao + sword cultivator” has become the hottest combination for overcoming the tribulation of love and ascending to the Upper Realm. Countless aloof masters, as pristine as moonlight on snow, are searching for their very own darkened, obsessive disciples. Once the tender years of teaching by example and a harmonious master-disciple relationship are over, they just have to follow the steps for locking the disciple away in a little dark room, then wait for the honeymoon period when their hearts belong to each other. After that, they can drive their life-bound sword through the disciple’s chest and ascend on the spot. Feng Buyu is the unlucky disciple who gets “killed by his husband to prove his Dao.” On their wedding day, his master ran a sword through his heart and crushed his spiritual core. His life and Dao ended, yet he could only watch as that snowy-white figure shattered the void and ascended after breaking through the realm. At the cost of eternal damnation in the Asura realm, Feng Buyu bought himself ten more years of life, all so he could storm Li Hen Tian and demand justice from that man. The road to revenge is impossibly hard. As if losing all his cultivation weren’t enough, he gets badly injured halfway there when a blood-soaked mortal crashes into him. The mortal coughs up two mouthfuls of blood. “Were you also killed by your husband to prove his Dao?” The latest of the latest findings from the Tianji Pavilion show that younger disciple and older master pairings carry considerable risks. Many masters underestimate their disciples’ strength and end up suffering for it, often with the bitter result of their chrysanthemums left in tatters. By comparison, “cool celestial beauty + rugged mortal man” is a much safer combination. Zhuang Cuo was a hunter in the mountains. He and his celestial-looking “wife” had been married for ten years, living in perfect harmony and enjoying a peaceful life. He thought they would go on like that for a hundred years, but he never expected that one day his “frail as a willow” wife would stab him through the heart and throw him off a cliff, saying, “Husband, I have wronged you for a lifetime.” As it turned out, the wife who had once loved him without question was a prodigy of the immortal sects. She had sought out an unlucky mortal like him to overcome her tribulation of love. He fell off the cliff and crashed into a red-clad, white-haired man. The man had lost all his cultivation, his meridians were ruined, and his face was unrecognizable. Only his long, elegant phoenix eyes remained, hiding an endless fire of tribulation, ready either to burn his enemies to ashes or consume him from within. Feng Buyu couldn’t wait to launch his revenge plot. “As long as you can reach Foundation Establishment in one year, Deification in three, the Great Ascension stage in five, and ascend in ten, we’ll storm Baiyu Jing together! Then we’ll climb the heavenly steps over the bones of the immortals, and all fourteen mansions of the Jade Capital will lie beneath our feet!” What Zhuang Cuo says aloud: “...I might as well just die.” What he thinks: A tiger fallen to the plains gets bullied by dogs; a phoenix in dire straits is worth less than a chicken! I only came down here to answer a tribulation. Why is everyone treating me like a real mortal? Feng Buyu is the gong × Zhuang Cuo is the shou On the surface: a gloomy, vengeful ghost of a gong, killed by his master to prove his Dao × a darkened, rabid-dog shou, killed by his wife to prove her Dao In reality: a crazy girl of a gong × a cool, roguish guy of a shou Reader’s guide: 1. Both have exes. Both exes are men, and neither is just a background character. 2. Both gong and shou are clean, but neither has an untouched bottom. 3. The gong is crippled and disfigured; the shou’s main account is sealed. 4. A powerful couple: two handsome men, one a classic younger-disciple gong, the other a rugged-man-with-a-secret-identity gong, brought together by an unscrupulous author who loves watching the chaos unfold. 5. Their feelings for each other are intense, and both are very into men. 6. Gong-focused, gong-focused, gong-focused! Feng Buyu is the gong, so don’t get the pairing wrong. 7. If fans argue over preferences, sorry, I don’t even know what kind of fan I am anymore. These days I’m equally obsessed with gongs, shous, and all men. If you can accept that, keep reading... I can only take responsibility for the story, not for my kinks. Kinks are like coughing, you can’t hold them in. For now, I just want to finish writing the story properly. 8. I’ll add more if I think of anything... A salty-egg pre-release: The Notorious Beta at the Elite Academy Lu Yu is a top science student and a high-schooler with an exceptionally chaste image. He transmigrates into a poor scholarship student Beta at an elite academy in an ABO world. Saint Will Academy is full of the rich and powerful, with financial conglomerates everywhere. Lu Yu is at the bottom of the food chain. Fortunately, his original host was the close attendant of the academy’s top-tier star, a universally adored Omega. The many admirers hoping to score a date with the star had no choice but to get on the original host’s good side. Unfortunately, the original host used that connection to throw his weight around, suck up to the powerful and kick those below him, and privately offended every wealthy heir he couldn’t afford to cross. His hatred meter was maxed out. Worse still, the original host suddenly came down with a fit of madness. Despite being engaged, he forcibly confessed to the beloved Omega. Not only was he brutally rejected in a face-slapping spectacle, but the Omega’s admirers ganged up to bully him, ruining his reputation completely and making everyone avoid him like the plague. With all that in mind, Lu Yu faces a hellish situation from the start: the academy’s strict hierarchy and the beloved Omega’s admirers’ vicious revenge leave him struggling every day. At last, one day, a legendary top Alpha, blessed with both noble blood and staggering wealth, arrives at the academy and breaks the deadlock, crushing countless admirers in his wake. The top Alpha is mean and arrogant, with more brawn than brains. He causes a sensation the moment he arrives, is parachuted in as student council president, and becomes the campus’s top-tier star, the center of everyone’s attention. The students all say that only a top Alpha like him can win the final victory in the battle for the beloved Omega. But when Lu Yu looks at him, he realizes this Alpha has the same face as his narcissistic ex-boyfriend. And why is the engagement collar around his neck, a symbol of loyalty and obedience, glowing pink nonstop? A week later, on an afternoon during club activities, Lu Yu is alone in the classroom. The arrogant, dignified president pushes open the door, sits down in front of him, snatches the pen from his hand, and lifts his chin. “Fiance, want to kiss?” The students of Saint Will Academy get the biggest piece of gossip of the year: the academy’s notorious Beta is actually the student council president’s fiance! Countless people watch from the sidelines and place bets on what kind of punishment Lu Yu will receive. The gossip crowd watches the president drag Lu Yu into a little dark room, grinning with schadenfreude. An hour later, the two emerge looking flushed and thoroughly satisfied. Everyone thinks they must have seen a ghost. The student council members notice that the president seems to have it in for Lu Yu. From astronomy to geography, from poetry and literature to the philosophy of life, competing over grades is no longer novel enough. So they take up horseback riding, fencing, swimming, rock climbing, skydiving... One hair’s breadth from bloodshed, with a bottomless abyss right beneath their feet! The two compete with wild abandon, while the spectators watch in terror. The president even appoints Lu Yu as his personal secretary, putting him in charge of every part of his schedule, from errands and sign-in to buying meals and bringing him water, from planning banquets to receiving foreign guests... The look everyone gives Lu Yu shifts from contempt and disdain to sympathy and admiration. To withstand the student council president’s relentless, all-hours bullying for so long, and even grow bolder with each battle until he shines? He’s a legend! The beloved Omega who once rejected Lu Yu shyly hands him a love letter, saying they can start over, but Lu Yu rejects him on the spot. A month later, the beloved Omega passes an alley and sees the Beta who rejected him pinned against the wall by the student council president and kissed passionately. Their desire burns like kindling, intense and irresistible, and books lie scattered all over the ground. An all-around, chaste top student gong × an arrogant, domineering heir to a financial empire shou Theme: Even if I cannot reach it, my heart yearns for it
