After dying from overwork, genius mechanic Xu Gui transmigrates into a cultivation novel as a minor young master destined to die as cannon fodder. He forcibly marries Ye Du, once a child of heaven's favor but now disabled in both legs, and spends every day despising and humiliating him.
Later, Ye Du recovers and begins his path of revenge. The young master is the first to get written out of the story.
System: [Take care of the protagonist to unlock more mechanical blueprints, earn money, cultivate land, and improve your standing. Eventually, make the protagonist too afraid to kill you, and successfully stay alive!]
Xu Gui perks up: This is my specialty!
In his previous life, he often worked as a hospital caregiver in his spare time and had plenty of experience looking after people.
Xu Gui: Don't worry. I'll definitely get him excited about life again!
With both legs crippled, he can't ride a flying sword. Following the blueprints, Xu Gui builds a single-person flying-sword propeller (a little plane).
They're too poor to hire help, the wasteland is uncultivated, and the two of them can't get enough to eat. Following the blueprints, Xu Gui builds a puppet pile driver (a tractor).
After becoming the richest man around, Xu Gui looks at the robots diligently working in the fields and smiles with satisfaction.
System: [Mission complete. You're a wealthy magnate and the designated supplier to all the major sects. Nobody dares offend you. Now formally negotiate with the protagonist to dissolve your marriage.]
Xu Gui takes a fruit fed to him by the protagonist and eats it, looking perplexed. "But why would I get divorced? We're very happy together now."
System, realizing too late: When did you two get together?!
System, humbly: Please stop making us all jealous!

Ye Du was born into a prestigious family and had extraordinary talent. But just as he was about to ascend, his enemies came for revenge. His entire family was killed, and he failed his tribulation, losing both legs.
To humiliate him, his enemies sold him to Xu Gui, the most violent wastrel in the cultivation world.
Ye Du was utterly hopeless. He thought, At worst, we can die together.
On their wedding night, when the veil was lifted, he saw a sincere, clear-eyed smile. "Stay with me and don't worry. You'll have plenty to eat and drink, so just keep living, okay?"
That night.
Ye Du: This guy's crazy.
Later.
Ye Du: My wife's the best.
"He thought he would live with resentment forever, but then he met someone who never left his side and healed the scars in his heart."

Everyone: Grandmaster Ye is so magnanimous, not holding a grudge against the likes of us. We could never compare.
Ye Du: The cherries in my garden are ripe. I'm going home to help my wife pick them. I'll deal with you next time.
