My Husband Was Once the Dragon-Swaggering Hero

[Main story complete. Extra chapters will be posted from time to time.]

Before she transmigrated into a book, Qin Wanwan was the happiest second-generation immortal in the cultivation world.

She was lazy and useless, but her parents bribed every hero under the sun to fake her achievements, making her a well-known figure with quite a reputation.

Then one day, Jian Xingzhi, who cultivated through battle and had fought his way across the Nine Provinces, came to challenge her after hearing of her fame. One stroke of his sword sent her into a cultivation novel called The Strongest Mary Sue, where she became Qin Wan, the wicked female supporting character.

As soon as she transmigrated, she was hauled onto the Judgment Platform. The people beside her were shouting for her death, accusing her of harming the heroine.

The System told her in a cold voice:

"As a wicked supporting character in this world, your master will abandon you, your senior brothers will despise you, and your beloved will kill you with his own hands. The only person who truly cares about you is the kept man over there, who just fainted from crying."

"You have to be ruthless toward others and even more ruthless toward yourself. That's how you can 'defy fate' and make a comeback against the heroine!"

"Come on, stab yourself with that sword and tell them loudly: from today on, you and they are through. You have nothing to do with them anymore!"

Qin Wanwan heard this and picked up the sword with trembling hands. After shaking for a while, she dropped to her knees with a thud.

"Master, please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. I won't ever..."

Before she could finish, the young man on the ground sprang up, stabbed himself, and ran the sword right through her, too. Then he recited the line she hadn't had a chance to say:

"From today on, Qin Wan is through with all of you. She has nothing to do with you anymore!"

Qin Wanwan stared at the back of the kept man in front of her,

shocked, before pain made her pass out.

Jian Xingzhi, expressionless as he stabbed himself and Qin Wanwan, gripped his sword

and listened to the "Kept Man System" in his head shriek: "You're just a gigolo! Boss, you're acting out of character!!"

Jian Xingzhi sneered to himself.

You want me to live off a woman? Dream on.

#Bonus Scene#

Qin Wanwan: "Did you transmigrate here, too?"

Jian Xingzhi: "Yeah."

Qin Wanwan: "What was your name before, and what did you do?"

Jian Xingzhi: "My Daoist title is Suiheng. My surname is Jian, and my given name is Xingzhi. I devote myself to the sword and keep out of worldly affairs. The martial world calls me Long Aotian."

Qin Wanwan: "..."

Now she knew. She knew exactly who this idiot was.

Next up: Seeking a Sword Across a Thousand Mountains

When Hua Xiangwan sailed east to Yunlai, her master told her,

"Since your cultivation method is compatible with theirs, you must bring a Heavenly Sword Sect Dao Lord back to the Western Realm so you can advance quickly. But remember: you can only kidnap a Love Sword cultivator, not a Heart-Questioning Sword cultivator.

"The Dao Lords who cultivate the Heart-Questioning Sword may be strong, but they're stupid and don't understand love or hate."

But on her very first day in Yunlai, she saw Xie Changji, who cultivated the Heart-Questioning Sword.

Like a moth to a flame, she knew Xie Changji was untouched by worldly desires, yet she risked her life for him and gave him everything without regret.

But even after they became husband and wife, when her meridians were destroyed and she was covered in blood, all he could do was croak, "I'm sorry."

Only then did she realize that Dao Lords who cultivated the Heart-Questioning Sword truly didn't understand love or hate.

So she faked her death in front of him, erased her identity as "Wanwan," and went back to being the carefree young mistress of the Acacia Palace.

She left Xie Changji alone in the border between life and death, keeping vigil by a lonely grave. They parted for two hundred years.

Two hundred years later, the Demon Lord of the Western Realm was gravely ill, and the three palaces were in the midst of a coup.

To stabilize the situation and advance quickly, Hua Xiangwan had no choice but to return to Yunlai and seek a marriage alliance with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Everyone said Hua Xiangwan was clutching at straws. The Heavenly Sword Sect would never let her bring an overly powerful Dao Lord back to the Western Realm, and her half-ruined Golden Core wouldn't let her improve her cultivation by much anyway.

But on the day of the wedding,

everyone heard the news:

Xie Changji, Yunlai's strongest warrior, had emerged from the border between life and death, broken free of the Heart-Questioning Sword, switched to the Love Sword, and taken charge of the Acacia Palace!

As soon as the news broke,

the enemy forces surrounding the Acacia Palace hurriedly retreated,

Hua Xiangwan's former lovers fled in every direction,

and even Hua Xiangwan herself fled on her mount in the middle of her wedding night.
