[Worlds 1-7 complete]
Everyone knows there are male side characters in novels who are devastatingly handsome and talented, yet suffer every humiliation and torment imaginable. Their dark, despairing lives are devoid of kindness, and they end their days lonely and miserable, leaving readers wishing things had turned out differently.
", Unless a light meant for him alone saves him from the depths of suffering."
Wu Jiao was fired up: "If that light dies tragically right in front of him, he'll suffer unbearable pain and fall completely into darkness. The resentment from that kind of fall is the purest! Once I get it, I can cultivate until I'm the strongest in the world!"
The elder smiled. "The Demon Lord catches on quickly."
She counted on her fingers. "You have incredible talent. You only need to fake your death nine times to reach the top."
Sure enough, Wu Jiao eventually mastered her cultivation technique and claimed the supreme throne of heaven and earth. Not long afterward, she heard that the god of execution, a decorated warrior of the Divine Clan, had returned from his tribulation. But because his beloved wife had died in front of him nine times, he had fallen gravely ill with sorrow. He spent his days grieving, wasting away until he was nearly ready to take his own life.
Wu Jiao: What a loser.
Wu Jiao: Strike while he's sick! I'll seize this chance to unite the Heavenly Realm and reunite that pathetic, spineless man with his wife.
Storming into the Heavenly Realm, Wu Jiao called out triumphantly, "The famous God of Execution, I never thought I'd see you fall into my, "
The pathetic, spineless man looked up, his gaze a tumult of love and hate.

★ Please add my new redemption-and-fake-death story to your collection: Helping My Husband Cultivate the Heartless Way by Faking My Death.
Shan Chenwang, a vengeful ghost of the Mount of Malice, was born in the nineteenth year of Yong'an and died in the forty-third.
The year his wife died, he became a vengeful ghost, rampaged across the Six Realms, and wreaked havoc everywhere. The immortal sects joined forces to hunt him down seventeen times, but never managed to capture him.
This was the story of Shan Chenwang that Tao Man had heard all her life. Then one day, she met the notorious vengeful ghost.
On an ordinary full-moon night, he appeared like a god and subdued the demon that was about to devour her.
Then he gazed at her in silence for a long time.
The ghost's black hair fell over his shoulders. His skin was deathly pale, his lips a vivid red, and his face breathtakingly beautiful.
In his sharp, cool eyes, hatred, longing, and desire gradually began to show.
Tao Man: (˙ー˙)...
???
They say Shan Chenwang devoted himself to cultivating the Heartless Way while alive. He was a rising star of the immortal sects with a boundless future.
Then he met his wife.
His Dao heart faltered, and he abandoned his ascent to immortality. Later, for reasons no one knew, he killed his wife to prove his Dao, cutting her down with his sword.
And yet, in the end, he never ascended to become a Golden Immortal. Instead, he became a vengeful ghost who wreaked havoc across the Six Realms.
-
As an ordinary human girl, Tao Man was terrified both of the sinister chill surrounding this strange ghost and of the desire roiling within him.
She hurriedly pulled out the only protective talisman she had and tried to keep her voice steady. "I-I-I'll kill you!"
Shan Chenwang lunged at her.
He didn't dodge at all. Her talisman grazed him, leaving a small bloody cut. Tao Man was stunned that she might be the only person in hundreds of years to hurt Shan Chenwang, when suddenly a pair of strong arms pulled her into a tight embrace.
He held her.
He kissed her.
His hand clamped around her waist as he lowered his head and bit her shoulder.
Just as Tao Man was breaking out in goosebumps, he slowly let go and lifted his head, tears gathering in his eyes as he fought to hold them back.
The vengeful ghost wept, his thin lips trembling as he told her he hated her.
1. Redemption and fake-death trope, with a focus on torturing the male lead.
2. Both leads are each other's first and only partner; one-on-one romance, happy ending.
