I Tormented My Substitute Countless Times, but They Saw Me as Their First Love

Cui Rongxing was once a cripple whose spiritual roots had been completely destroyed. Jiang Lirong picked him up from Yunxi Mountain for one reason only: his face looked seventy percent like the man she had loved from afar.

When she first found him, his eyes were as fierce as a beast ready to bite. But under Jiang Lirong's deliberate conditioning, his personality gradually came to resemble the man in her heart.

But Jiang Lirong still wasn't satisfied. She made Cui Rongxing wear the same incense as her beloved, placed a matching red beauty mark at the corner of his eye, and forbade him from smiling, because when he smiled, he no longer looked like that man.

When her beloved returned, Jiang Lirong promptly abandoned Cui Rongxing. But after she failed to win her beloved's heart, she returned and found him still guarding that little courtyard. On a whim, she made Cui Rongxing put on her beloved's clothes and imitate his way of speaking, then reenacted the scene from earlier that day. For the first time, she lost control and called him by her beloved's name.

That was nothing to worry about. Cui Rongxing would find out sooner or later that he was only a substitute.

Cui Rongxing believed that if he stayed by Jiang Lirong's side forever and fulfilled her every demand, he could earn a single tender glance from her.

But she abandoned him again and again for that man.

For that man, Jiang Lirong could knock him from the Immortal Execution Platform, personally rip out his spiritual roots, and even abandon him without hesitation when the demon world invaded.

He had once been heaven's favored son. A moment's love had kept him trapped there, but once he left, the whole world was his to roam. His boundless hatred also gave rise to an endless, murderous aura.

All beings across the Three Realms feared him. On the day Cui Rongxing saw her again, the hatred in his heart still burned fiercely, and his expression was sufficiently savage and cold.

Jiang Lirong merely beckoned to him lazily. "Why are you standing there? Don't you even recognize me anymore?"

And once again, shamefully, his heart stirred.
