After My Husband Killed Me to Prove His Dao, I Was Reborn

Lu Yuanyuan is a nobody in the Shushan Sword Sect. She likes Duan Lansheng, a junior cultivator in her sect. Duan Lansheng is the son of a fox and a human. Born into poverty, he is as beautiful as an immortal, cold and aloof. With her whole heart, Lu Yuanyuan chases after him, showering him with affection and trying every trick in the book, but Duan Lansheng has little interest in her. Later, after an accident leaves her having broken Duan Lansheng's Dao body, she finally gets her wish and marries him. Afterward, Duan Lansheng puts on his clothes and looks at her coldly. Their fellow disciples whisper that Lu Yuanyuan is shameless and scheming, taking advantage of him in his hour of need, and that Duan Lansheng married her only out of obligation. Lu Yuanyuan knows she took advantage of his vulnerability and did the wrong thing. Things got off to a terrible start, but young married couples are soft as cotton, and time reveals a person's heart. Lu Yuanyuan optimistically thinks she'll do her best to make sure Duan Lansheng never regrets spending his life with her. But the old saying is right. A melon forcibly twisted from the vine will never be sweet. A hundred years later, Duan Lansheng faces a tribulation as a half-demon. He ascends to the Upper Immortal Realm and becomes a mighty sword immortal who subdues demons across the eight directions and slays the Ghost Emperor. Lu Yuanyuan becomes the wife he kills to prove his Dao on the eve of his enlightenment. Lu Yuanyuan dies, then comes back to life, only to discover that she is a villainess in a book. In the story, Duan Lansheng has always loved Shushan's senior sister. He is disgusted by Lu Yuanyuan, the toad who came out of nowhere, clung to him, and schemed her way into marrying him. * Reborn in the year they first met, Lu Yuanyuan faces the thin young man on the punishment platform, framed and sentenced, his body covered in whip marks. She still chooses to walk toward him, holding an umbrella over him and bringing him medicine. But this time, she won't stumble in the same place again. Much later, on the day of Duan Lansheng's tribulation, under his bewildered and anguished gaze, Lu Yuanyuan plunges her sword into his chest first and kicks him off Liheshan. If they kill each other once, that's fair. This life, she will take the road to immortality, while he remains in the mortal realm. From now on, they each go their own way, owing each other nothing. [Before rebirth: proactive, love-addled heroine / After rebirth: hardworking career-focused heroine / sweet-faced, darkening heroine vs. awful at first, then miserable and finally realizes he loves her, but it's too late because his wife doesn't want him, aloof male lead] *Tips: 1. The male lead is Duan Lansheng. This is a melodramatic HE. 2. The male lead really did love the senior sister. But in both lifetimes, the heroine is the only woman he has an intimate relationship with. 3. A melodramatic "mistreat your wife for a moment, chase her to the crematorium" story. The heroine suffers first, then the hero. If you don't like this trope, and want the leads to love each other, dote on each other, and have eyes only for each other from chapter one, please don't read. 4. The villains include both men and women. Writing female villains doesn't mean the author hates women or is pitting women against women; the same goes for male villains. Characters serve the plot, and gender isn't a shackle. Please distinguish fiction from reality. Blurb dated 2022.1.14 Theme: Love is not the only pursuit in life.
