Fu Xie transmigrated into the master of the Hehuan Palace, a great villain whom every righteous cultivator wanted dead.
He promptly ran into a big shot from the righteous sects, the protagonist of the story. To save his own skin, Fu Xie immediately disavowed the demonic path:
"I'm just an ordinary young man. I was kidnapped and dragged into the Hehuan Palace, then offered to the young lord of the demon race as a cultivation furnace."
"I tried with all my might to escape, but the young lord of the demon race is obsessed with me and wants to drag me back to the palace to humiliate me again... Please, immortal sir, save me!"
The protagonist, Si Jue, the young lord of the demon race undercover among the righteous cultivators: "...?"

Fu Xie played his role as the pitiful flower forced into a relationship by the young lord of the demon race to perfection. It wasn't long before the real deal came looking for him.
Si Jue put on his young-lord-of-the-demon-race secret identity. "I had no idea we'd ever shared a past together."
Fu Xie tipped up his chin and rewarded him with a kiss.
His tongue brushed across those red lips, and he smiled seductively.
"The past doesn't matter. A new flame... Well, here you are."
He had meant to flirt and run, but his cultivation-furnace constitution kicked in, and their pretense turned into reality.
The next morning, the young lord of the demon race was nowhere to be seen. Only the righteous protagonist was there.
Fu Xie instantly put on a helpless, pitiful expression. "The young lord of the demon race took what he wanted all night, but I resisted with all my strength..."
Si Jue pulled his collar aside, revealing the kiss marks on his neck.
"You resisted with all your strength?" He looked up with a smile, his eyes cold. "You were quite enthusiastic last night."

No one in the Three Realms knew that Si Jue's beloved Dao companion was none other than the infamous master of the Hehuan Palace.
Si Jue himself was in the dark, too.
That is, until Fu Xie's identity was exposed on the day of their wedding ceremony.
According to the script, he would die beneath the protagonist's sword, his Dao destroyed.

After faking his death, Fu Xie put on a new secret identity and roamed freely across the four seas.
Then he heard that Si Jue hated him to the core, had kept his corpse, and abused it day and night to vent his rage.
Fu Xie tried to steal the corpse, but Si Jue caught him on the spot and pinned him to the ice coffin.
"I had a former lover who ruined my reputation, unsettled my heart, and abandoned me."
Behind him, Si Jue's voice was low and hoarse, barely holding back his madness.
"Tell me... If I catch him, what should I do with him?"
Fu Xie glanced at the demon-binding chains waiting beside them.
"..."
I'm doomed!
