After Failing to Prove the Dao by Severing My Feelings

On the Execution Immortals Platform, Meng Chenshuang holds his sword to the heart of his cultivation partner, Immortal Venerable Wuya. An endless abyss lies behind him. He cultivates the Heartless Dao, and today is the day he must kill his husband to prove his Dao. But the sword won't move another inch. Meng Chenshuang's hand is trembling. Because the game System is warning him: Character affection is too high. Kill mode cannot be activated. Meng Chenshuang: ...Damn it. He'd chosen the Sword Pavilion Master character because he'd heard that sword cultivators who followed the Heartless Dao were the easiest to level up. Who knew he'd get stuck on the last step before clearing the game? But the Execution Immortals Platform storyline can't be rolled back. Distraught, Meng Chenshuang turns his sword on himself, ready to switch classes and start over. In the last game scene before he falls from the platform, Immortal Venerable Wuya's eyes are bloodshot as he tries to grab Meng Chenshuang's hand. But all he catches is the sword piercing Meng Chenshuang's heart. Starting a new game, Meng Chenshuang draws the hidden character, the Demon Lord. They say the Demon Lord is born with demonic bones and a demonic heart, starts with an extremely high cultivation level, and can command millions of demons. Meng Chenshuang has barely opened the game with a happy grin when he transmigrates. He transmigrates into the Demon Lord's body. And it's the Demon Lord who's been thrown into the evil prison at Hanchuan, his demonic bones locked and cultivation sealed. Meng Chenshuang: ??? I thought I was supposed to start out as a big shot! Before he can think it through, a cold sword lifts his chin, and a familiar, icy face appears before him. It's the former cultivation partner he almost killed to prove his Dao! And this Immortal Venerable Wuya, who should have been as noble and bright as the moon, has personally captured the Demon Lord and is torturing him in Hanchuan's evil prison for information. “Tell me how to enter the Netherworld and bring back the dead.” Meng Chenshuang has never seen his cultivation partner this dark and cruel. At this moment, he looks more like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell than the Demon Lord does. The “Demon Lord” laughs. “Anyone who dies on the Execution Immortals Platform has their soul scattered, their body and Dao destroyed. Search the highest heavens or the deepest underworld, and you'll never find them!” Immortal Venerable Wuya furrows his brow, pressing the sword's edge to his throat. Meng Chenshuang, forced by the game System to deliver his scripted lines, is horrified: That's not me! I didn't do it! Bro, I'm your wife! Legend has it that in the thirty-third year of Yiheng, everyone saw Meng Chenshuang, the Sword Pavilion Master, fall from the Execution Immortals Platform with his body broken. The cold sword that pierced his heart was in Immortal Venerable Wuya's hand. Blood dripped from the Immortal Venerable's sword, and the chill around him felt like the depths of winter. Perhaps because he'd successfully killed his wife to prove his Dao on the Execution Immortals Platform, Immortal Venerable Wuya broke through his cultivation and became the foremost figure in the immortal path. But on that same day, snow fell heavily over Wuya Mountain. The Immortal Venerable stood atop the cliff, drenched in blood, all night long. Wind blew frost and snow over him, turning his hair completely white. - Gorgeous, powerful, tragic uke x love-addled, electrifying widower seme Reader notes: 1. There is a secondary couple. 2.

Nobody knows the beloved's name. All they know is that the Divine Lord was deeply in love with him and entered a death seclusion to divine his whereabouts. It's the stuff of romantic legend. But unexpectedly, the beloved comes looking for him. As the world watches in astonishment, they can't help but feel a little contempt: This person has low cultivation, an ordinary family background, and shameless manners. Rumor even says he used to be a fool. His only redeeming feature is an overly pretty face. The Brightlight Divine Lord has been wise all his life, yet his taste is so vulgar. No wonder he wanted to keep this a secret. - Eighteen years ago, the great villain Qiu Zhaoshui, feared throughout the cultivation world, was hunted by the Brightlight Divine Lord, Xu Jianbing, until he died. Eighteen years later, Qiu Zhaoshui is reborn and discovers that Xu Jianbing died during his seclusion. No one knows the truth, and everyone thinks he was divining the whereabouts of some so-called beloved. The great villain regrets that his hated rival didn't die by his own sword, so he returns to his old ways of causing trouble. He pretends to be his rival's beloved, uses his rival's estate to indulge in every kind of debauchery, and slanders the Divine Lord, once famed for his noble and pristine bearing. He resolves to make sure his rival can't rest in peace even in death. “You'd never guess that the Divine Lord isn't as chaste as he looks. He'd already lost his virginity, and he spent the night with me seven times! Every night, we made love for the length of two incense sticks!” “Unfortunately, the Divine Lord was injured in an accident and never recovered. He knew he couldn't face me, so he left. But why would I reject my husband just because he's impotent?!” “Why does the Divine Lord like me? Because nobody understands that he's still a child inside. Whenever there's a thunderstorm, he remembers how terrified he was when the great villain Qiu Zhaoshui defeated him with lightning magic. He insists on hiding in my arms...” Until one day, Qiu Zhaoshui runs into a cultivator who looks just like his old rival. He puts on an act, crying as he says, “I never thought the noble and virtuous Divine Lord would make the same mistake as every other man in the world and have a child with someone else behind my back. And the child is already this old. What a bastard.” The “bastard,” Xu Jianbing himself: “...” The next moment, the familiar sword of the Divine Lord flies past Qiu Zhaoshui's ear. He's pinned between Xu Jianbing and a cold stone wall. The Divine Lord's eyes are dark. “Making love night and day? Seven times in one night? Hiding in your arms?” Beautiful, unruly uke x outwardly cold, inwardly warm, faux aloof-flower seme Theme: May those who love one another treat each other with sincerity.
