Broken Bamboo

More than twenty years ago, there was a celebrated marriage.

Zhou Qi, the Divine Lord of Tianqi Mountain, the foremost immortal mountain, married Feng Xuanwu, daughter of the Divine Lord of Penglai Immortal Mountain.

The newlyweds had powerful connections and boundless divine power, so the Six Realms paid special attention to their child.

But gradually, everyone discovered that this child, known as "the most well-connected person in the Celestial Realm," had no divine power at all.

They were even born with a congenital defect: their immortal root was missing, making cultivation impossible!

And so, the darling of the Three Realms became a laughingstock...

After enduring the ridicule of the Six Realms for more than twenty years, Zhou Chuyun finally resolved to seek out the truth behind his missing immortal root himself.

As soon as he descended Penglai Mountain, he picked up Li Yanzhu, a "flying expert" (a loyal dog of a husband).

They fought side by side, surviving countless brushes with death and growing to cherish one another.

As the East Sea grew ever more treacherous and Tianqi ever more mysterious, layers of past events came to light, and schemes were torn apart. The truth seemed to be slowly surfacing.

But the truth was far from what he had hoped: a former friend turned out to be the one responsible for his missing immortal root. In his previous life, that friend had torn out his soul and bones and tortured him to death...

[Please note:]

-> Main couple is 1v1: a cold, unhinged Demon King gong with three layers of secret identity x a beautiful, strong, and tragic shou who has lost three layers of secret identity. Happy ending.

-> The truth behind Zhou Chuyun's missing immortal root is revealed in the second life. During this time, Li Yanzhu will reveal his unhinged nature. At first he keeps up appearances, but he becomes ill when provoked. His characterization hasn't changed: he's always been a madman. There will also be several dramatic chase-your-wife scenes, so stay tuned.

-> Everything began in the first life. In my opinion, the main couple were happiest in that life, but fate was cruel, and they were forced apart by life and death. The one left behind became obsessed with resurrecting his beloved, whose soul had long since been obliterated, and gradually descended into madness.

-> The plot unfolds at a slow pace. The clues found in every incident are all groundwork for uncovering the truth later.

P.S. Your favorites are my greatest motivation to keep updating!
