I Secretly Loved the Immortal Venerable, but Married the Demon Lord by Mistake

After decades in the Immortal Sect, Rong Qing finally confessed his feelings to the Immortal Venerable he had long secretly loved. But on their wedding day, the Venerable sacrificed him to an ugly, vicious demon.

Though Rong Qing belonged to the Immortal Sect, he had a beautiful, bewitching face that could captivate all beings. People often mistook him for someone who practiced crooked, unorthodox arts.

Over the years, Rong Qing had been bullied and teased countless times. Fortunately, his senior fellow disciple had always protected him and stood up for him. In time, admiration blossomed into love.

After years of cultivation, his senior had become a renowned Immortal Venerable in his own right. He had taken on disciples and was highly regarded by the old sect master.

Gradually, Rong Qing began to feel he was no longer worthy of his senior. But after his senior swore his devotion, they still decided to become cultivation partners.

Red candles, wedding wine, and soul-locking hooks.

Blood soaked the ground. With his collarbones pinned by the hooks, Rong Qing stared in disbelief at the senior he had trusted most.

Even as he plunged toward the abyss of the Demon Realm, he still clung to a faint, desperate hope.

But when the demon's ugly hand touched his body, there was no turning back. He went mad, killed every demon, and died amid a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

His soul drifted back to the Immortal Sect, where he witnessed his senior's grand wedding.

A hatred that cut to the bone gave him the chance to be reborn after a twist of fate in the Demon Realm.

Twenty years later, amid layer upon layer of schemes, he saved the Immortal Sect's most eagerly anticipated prodigy.

His naturally bewitching body drew close to the prodigy's, tempting him to fall deeper step by step.

They... became true cultivation partners.

The upright young man of the Immortal Sect endured torment after torment until he became the beauty's most devoted dog.

The quickest way to destroy an Immortal Sect is to start by slowly dismantling the thing it treasures most.
