After I Faked My Death, My Master Went Mad

Content warnings: [Coercive Possession] [Old-School Angsty Romance] The hero can see the heroine's memories, and the heartbreak-and-redemption arc goes all the way. In my previous life, I loved my master, Jun Wudu. He didn't love me. After running me through with his sword, he coldly told me, "The thing I regret most in this life is taking you as my disciple..." He coldly drew out his sword, turned around, and left with the princess of the mortal realm without looking back. He never looked at me once before I died. The wound hurt so much, but my heart no longer did. I didn't love him anymore. Reborn, I wanted nothing to do with him. But the way he looked at me grew more and more unsettling. I loathed him, so I planned my own ending in order to get away from him. That day, he watched helplessly as the endless flames burned me to death. I was reduced to ashes, leaving not even a piece of my body behind. Jun Wudu had always believed he didn't love Nan Zhi, until she died right before his eyes... The lofty Immortal Venerable Yuxiao turned white-haired overnight. He did everything in his madness just to see her once more, until... he learned that Nan Zhi wasn't dead! He went mad searching for her. ...He found her! But she was nestled in the Demon Lord's arms, smiling brightly, and was even about to marry him! Later, Nan Zhi was forced to disappear. In the stone chamber, Jun Wudu rubbed a cold metal plate behind her. After the rustling sounds, he would always bend over her neck and repeat in a hoarse whisper, again and again, "Nan Zhi, you can't escape. You'll be with me forever." Everyone knew that Jun Wudu, the Immortal Venerable Yuxiao, was the unrequited love of countless female cultivators. Yet none dared hope to break through his unwavering Dao heart and make him spare them a glance. But later, they all saw the once peerless prodigy who had stood above the masses, the unattainable Immortal Venerable Yuxiao, the banished immortal so sacred that even looking at him felt like sacrilege, fall into the mortal world and become a wretched captive of love. The main story is told in third person. My take on cultivation, with plenty of original worldbuilding.

That year, she quietly left the sect without telling Jun Wuya. Soon, she met a man who loved her and decided to marry him. On her wedding day, the festive suona music and guests' congratulations seemed to be abruptly cut off. The room fell silent.
