My Junior Sister Is Clearly So Terrible, Yet Always Pretends to Be Devoted

Huo Wang and Zhao Man were bound by a blood feud. When Zhao Man admired him, he destroyed her foundation, took her eyes, imprisoned her for half her life, treated her as a pet and a possession, and would neither let her live nor let her die. He thought he hated her to the depths of his soul. When her life was ebbing away and each day might be her last, he realized that wasn't true. He had fallen in love with her long ago. He didn't want her to die. Huo Wang was born proud and unyielding, and did not believe in the gods. Yet when Zhao Man was dying, he knelt in countless temples. The arrogant lord of an entire realm gouged out his own eyes, covered himself in blood, and humbly begged every god and Buddha in the heavens, righteous or wicked, for nothing more than one extra day of her life. But in the end, he couldn't save her. That day, Huo Wang's Daoist heart shattered, and he became a demon overnight. That same day, Zhao Man comprehended the path of love and returned to the immortal sect. She was born with a divine heart and a sword bone. She needed only one thread of love to complete her naturally emotionless Dao. All the love between them over the years had been a scheme. A scheme she had set in motion with her own hands. Once she understood it all, she let it go. [Before You Start] 1. The heroine is career-minded. She's ruthless to herself and even more ruthless to others. 2.
