Li Yunxi is a demoness from the Demon Realm who does whatever she likes without a thought for the consequences.
She takes a fancy to a handsome man, kidnaps him to her manor, and spends their wedding night with him.
On her wedding night, Li Yunxi has a terrible dream.
It turns out her kidnapped husband is the famous Immortal Lord Lizhou. Due to a chance mishap, his cultivation had plummeted, leaving him stranded in the Demon Realm.
Once his strength was restored, Lizhou deeply resented Li Yunxi for humiliating him. Killing her would not satisfy him, so he put her soul into a furnace and tormented her without end.
Li Yunxi wakes with a start and immediately decides to nip the danger in the bud.
She strikes Lizhou on the crown of the head, and only relaxes after watching him breathe his last.
She throws his corpse into the abyss, convinced the danger has passed.
Who could have guessed that Lizhou survived and would come to the Demon Realm to ask for her hand in marriage?
Li Yunxi: "!!!" He must be trying to fool her so he can take her down in one fell swoop!
Lizhou gazes at her dotingly. "You may not want to use what you did for me to demand anything in return, but I have to take responsibility for you."
Li Yunxi: "???" What on earth is he talking about?
The male lead's perspective:
While cultivating, Lizhou suffered a qi deviation and nearly died. Fortunately, a woman sacrificed her yin essence to clear the reversed flow of qi in his body. She then sealed his senses and placed him somewhere quiet to recuperate, allowing him to recover his strength.
Though the woman's reputation was terrible, she had gone to such lengths for him. She surely couldn't be as vile as everyone claimed!
He had already consummated his marriage with her, so naturally he had to take responsibility.
