[My new novel next door, The Substitute Turns to the Ruthless Path, is now available. You can check it out and show it some love~] Fu Qing read a danmei novel about a universally adored character, then transmigrated into the book as an Immortal Venerable with the same name, beloved by all. In the end, everyone dragged him from his pedestal and turned him into a cultivation furnace. So he switched to the Ruthless Path, cast off his emotional ties, and devoted himself to cultivation. At last, he achieved the Great Dao and stood one step away from ascension, only for the Heavenly Dao to slap him back down and tell him he still had one final emotional trial to complete. The news that Immortal Venerable Qingzhi had failed his emotional trial and could not ascend spread throughout the cultivation world in no time. Everyone Fu Qing had ever wronged in love came knocking. The Demon Lord arrived with a lavish bridal procession. "A Qing, I'll offer you the entire Demon Realm as your betrothal gift. Come back to the Demon Realm with me and be my wife." His sworn enemy, who had always fought him to the death whenever they met, put down his sword for the first time, his eyes brimming with affection. "Fu Qing, I've loved you for a thousand years. Become my cultivation partner." His upright and righteous disciple schemed to strip him of his cultivation and imprison him in a desolate place. Eyes bloodshot and voice full of longing, he pleaded, "Master, won't you be with me? I'd gladly die by your hand." The first step on the Ruthless Path is seeing through love. The final step is to kill one's spouse and prove the Dao. All three said they were willing to die by his sword in the end, just to steal one night of bliss and affection with him. But Fu Qing knew they only wanted to break his Ruthless Path. Each of them harbored selfish, twisted feelings. He loved none of them, but the Heavenly Dao left him no choice but to play along. But who could have guessed-- By the time Fu Qing arrived, the place was already a sea of blood. One man stood in its midst: Pei Mingyan, his childhood friend, who had supported him as they entered the cultivation world together. Pei Mingyan held a sword, its tip still dripping blood. Eyes red, his voice sounded near-mad as he said, "If A Qing likes someone, should I kill them?" "No one gets to break A Qing's path."
