How to Tame a Bad Seed (Love Triangle)

1.

Li Shiluo has lived in seclusion since childhood. Gentle by nature, she should have married a suitable man and lived out a peaceful life.

On her wedding day, halfway to the ceremony, a monster steals her groom's appearance. Rumors spread throughout the city that she is a harbinger of disaster.

Luckily, she has a childhood friend, an immortal master of the righteous path and a heaven-blessed prodigy.

Now he has returned home in glory, still mindful of their old affection. He's tender and considerate toward her, and promises her a future in cultivation.

She eagerly follows him.

Then she discovers that not only the wedding-day monster incident, but even she herself, was part of his carefully laid scheme.

At last, she realizes:

Song Siyi looks gentle and harmless, but he's sinister and cunning, a thoroughly rotten man who takes pleasure in manipulating people's hearts.

To escape his control, Li Shiluo decides to fake her death.

But before she leaves, she should take a little payback to soothe her anger.

When the chance comes, in an abandoned cave,

Song Siyi is struck by a strange poison and unable to move. His once-spotless brocade robes are spread across the floor, stained with ordinary mud.

Li Shiluo makes sure the lips that always spoke of false affection can only make broken sobs.

She binds high the hands that once manipulated the world, making them tremble and shake.

Even his pale eyes, always so haughty and scornful, shed fragile, reddened tears.

Like a fish trapped on the shore, struggling in vain.

She collects her debt all night, then, satisfied, casually abandons him and leaves.

2.

After faking her death, Li Shiluo reaches the peak of her career in a life without that scumbag.

The righteous path loses an insignificant nobody, while the demonic sect gains a Holy Maiden who commands the Nether River.

Several years later,

The demonic sect's Holy Maiden and the leader of the righteous path come face to face.

A great battle is about to begin.

Li Shiluo draws her sword, thinking Song Siyi must hate her and wish he could grind her bones to dust to avenge his loss of chastity.

But this dignified, transcendent immortal loses control and pulls his collar askew, lowering his jade-white neck. "Why can't I be your primary husband?"

Li Shiluo: ...???

"You don't want me?" He begs her in anguish. "...Please, I could be your lesser husband, too."
