After the Empress Bound the Fish Pond System

[The female lead is an emperor with no feelings! Male-lead fans can switch off now. This is extremely hard on the male leads.]

[Thanks for supporting the official version.]

[This novel is all about taking things to a completely absurd level.]

Tang Xiaoxiao was bound by a monster called the Fish Pond System!

The System said she had only one day left to live, and could gain more time only by completing missions!

Faced with promises of unifying the world, living forever, and even reaching the highest peak, Tang Xiaoxiao agreed.

Hmph, how hard could raising fish be?

The art of ruling was all about balancing interests. A mere fish pond was never going to get out of hand.

She would rack up an endless lifespan and max out her combat strength. Even if she went to a cultivation world, she would dominate it and stand at the summit!

She pushed herself to the limit, sparing not even herself!

Only after going through N worlds did Tang Xiaoxiao finally remember: Sorry, I was already max-level on my main account. I came down to the mortal realm to undergo a trial. Oh, well!

Everyone: We love her, without a single regret.

Empress: I have no feelings, but I do have a conscience.

System: You tyrant of an emperor.

[My writing still needs work, and I'm doing my best to improve. Thank you all for your patience and support~]

[Preview]

When Ye Zhiyi was twenty, she became the cultivation partner of Lu Heng, the First Sword Sovereign of the Immortal Realm, and the two became the envy of all three realms.

After a hundred years of marriage, they treated each other with courtesy and had never once quarreled.

Lu Heng fulfilled every duty of a husband. He was impeccable in public and in private, so perfect that Ye Zhiyi found it hard to believe he was real.

On the last moment of her life, she looked back on it all and could think of only two words: boring.

To her surprise, when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day before her wedding to Lu Heng.

Ye Zhiyi looked at the wedding robes on the table and made a reckless decision.

She didn't want the First Sword Sovereign!

Based on what she knew of Lu Heng, if she broke off the engagement, he would be surprised at most, then leave with dignity and gradually fade from her world.

But she never expected that when the Immortal Venerable Lu, who had gentleness engraved in his very bones, saw her holding the hand of a Demon Prince / Wolf Clan Young Lord / Human General, he would instantly tear apart his carefully crafted persona and pin her against the wall.

The tenderness vanished from his eyes, replaced by madness and possessiveness that consumed Lu Heng's reason. Just as Ye Zhiyi thought he was about to do something unspeakable, Lu Heng smiled, his voice low and his anger barely contained.

"So, Madam likes them wild."

Ye Zhiyi: ??? Has my ex-husband been possessed?

Ever since childhood, Lu Heng had been taught by his master to keep his emotions off his face, avoid arrogance and impatience, and always remain calm.

Lu Heng did just that. Even when facing the wife he loved more than life itself, he worked hard to stay rational and restrain the heart that could go mad at any moment.

Even when they were intimate, he was gentle and took things slowly, always knowing when to advance and when to hold back.

Until Ye Zhiyi died before his eyes. Then he could no longer stay calm.

He slaughtered the demon clans to avenge her, killing without mercy and letting no one escape, even if it meant killing the innocent.

The renowned gentleman's sword of the cultivation world became a blood-soaked, bloodthirsty blade.

Everyone saw him as a scourge, calling him a complete madman. The Sword Sovereign was gone; he was more like a demon.

Lu Heng stood atop a mountain of corpses, eyes bloodshot and clothes drenched in blood.

Before taking his own life, he said only, "Madam, I'm coming to be with you."

*Both leads are reborn, but the female lead is reborn earlier than the male lead.

*The male lead suffers; the female lead is heartless and carefree.
