Reborn, Forced to Marry My Ex in Someone Else's Place

Shi Qingluan is a peerless young genius, renowned for his beauty in the cultivation world. But he uses his looks to curry favor, is dark-hearted and vicious, and even tried to murder his own senior brother to seize the position of Sword Sect leader. He also secretly opened the Prison of Life and Death. His life was hardly a mixed bag of praise and blame. Everyone hated him. Good and evil are always repaid in the end. Shi Qingluan was struck dead by lightning. Heaven had eyes. But not quite enough of them. Twenty years later, Shi Qingluan was reborn in another body. Only, this body had made a terrible mess of things. It belonged to an idiot. An idiot who was about to be married off. Shi Qingluan immediately ran away. As if! He had worked himself to death in his previous life. This time, he was going to enjoy life. Who would want to get married? But turn left, and he'd run into the old nemesis who once vowed to skin him alive. Turn right, and he'd run into the warden of the Prison of Life and Death, who had sworn to lock him up for a thousand years. Shi Qingluan, whose face was exactly as it had been before but whose cultivation was less than half what it used to be, silently ducked into the bridal sedan. He'd heard his betrothed was eight chi tall and had a six-pack. It wasn't such a bad deal. When Shi Qingluan arrived, he lifted the sedan curtain. The groom wore wedding robes and looked every bit the dashing hero, but even the festive colors couldn't conceal the murderous chill in his bones. It was none other than Shi Qingluan's good senior brother, now the leader of the Sword Sect. Shi Qingluan: ... Everyone knew he had tried to murder his senior brother to seize the position of Sword Sect leader. But no one knew that, on the day in question, he'd lured his senior brother away by saying tenderly, "I want to elope with you." Shi Qingluan slowly lowered the curtain. Maybe he should just die after all. [Reading Guide] 1. I've written a lot of gentle-but-unhinged gong characters, so I'm switching things up with an icy gong. 2. I'll add more if I think of anything.
