I Slay Yanderes to Prove the Dao

While recovering from severe injuries and amnesia, True Lord Suguang once pledged himself to a mortal woman. After regaining his memories, he defied his master and everyone else, brought her back to the immortal sect, and married her in a proper ceremony.

Everyone marveled at how fortunate the woman was. A mere mortal had become the wife of the leader of Shuiyun Pavilion in Qingxu Immortal Palace, receiving the homage of the immortals and enjoying unparalleled glory.

Even Gu Qitai herself thought so. Though she had no immortal bones and could not cultivate, she had been blessed with an immortal fate. She was truly fortunate.

Until her body began to deteriorate, and the bloody truth was laid bare before her...

Her husband had never lost his memory.

Their meeting had been his setup, and his devotion had all been an act. It was all because of her unusual constitution: he needed to cultivate with her to repair his damaged spiritual meridians, and the deeper her feelings for him, the more effective the treatment.

Now that his meridians had healed, he no longer cared whether this medicinal ingredient of his lived or died.

Everything Gu Qitai had believed in collapsed in an instant. To die so utterly worthless was probably the ending fate had ordained for her.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao looked upon her with favor. At the point of death, she grasped the Dao of Supreme Detachment and successfully entered the path.

From then on, her life had only one goal:

Kill her husband to prove her Dao, then ascend and return home.

-

Xie Zhiyuan had nearly died at his beloved wife's hands many times. She had poisoned him with a worm, drained his blood, and pierced his heart with ten thousand swords... Yet he never blamed her. Between them, he had been the one in the wrong from the start.

Besides, he knew she cultivated the Dao of Detachment, and that she wanted to kill him only to prove her Dao. He was even secretly pleased by it: if she wanted to kill him, didn't that mean he was her Dao heart, the person she loved most?

Later, he came to understand her better. He learned she was a visitor from another world, deeply fixated on killing her husband and ascending. It was all right. As long as he stayed on his guard, spending a lifetime tangled in love and hate with her would be fine.

But of all the things she could do, she should never have cut off her emotional ties and abandoned him after failing to kill him, only to turn around and consort with a lowly fox demon.

She became Dao companions with the fox demon.

She made the fox demon her new Dao heart.

She couldn't bear to kill the fox demon... and was even willing to ruin her own cultivation!

It turned out her obsession was not something she could never let go of. She had simply never shown him the slightest mercy.

So he sneered and took control of her body, helping her kill the fox demon with her own hands.

He never imagined that this would allow her to prove her Dao and leave this world.

Nor did he imagine that she had truly fallen in love with the fox demon.

For the first time in his life, Xie Zhiyuan hated the so-called Dao of Detachment with all his heart.

1. The ending in the blurb is not the ending of the main story. The main story has a happy ending, or the main story has a sad ending and the extra chapter has a happy ending.

2. The blurb is written from the perspectives of both the male and female leads, so it is limited and potentially misleading.

3. This is not a plot-driven wish-fulfillment story. At its core, it is a melodramatic, angsty tale of a husband trying to win his wife back, featuring lovers who fight each other, a sea of hatred and love, tragic misunderstandings, and an intensely painful romance.

4. The male lead is devoted in both body and heart, and there is no male lead change.
