He really did kill his husband to prove his path, with no hidden circumstances. Happy ending.
Gu Hanya received ten years of kindness and teaching from Jiyuan Chu. He developed feelings that crossed the line, but fortunately, his teacher returned them, and they married.
Unexpectedly, his teacher killed his husband to prove his path, intent on seeking the Dao and attaining immortality.
Gu Hanya became a vengeful ghost. In hell, he clung to his love and hatred for Jiyuan Chu to keep himself alive, vowing that even as a ghost, he would never let Jiyuan Chu go and would have his revenge.
After a thousand years of restraint, the Ghost Domain changed hands.
When the old acquaintances met again, Gu Hanya smiled and said, "Immortal Venerable Ji, long time no see."
They clashed, each striking at the other with deadly intent. Yet neither could kill the other. They were evenly matched, and knew each other best.
Gu Hanya's greatest wish in becoming a ghost had never been to kill Jiyuan Chu. He wanted to make sure Jiyuan Chu could never abandon him or leave him again.
"The victor rules, and the loser becomes the consort."
"Don't you agree, my empress, Gu?"
Told from the gong's perspective.
My teacher killed me for the Great Dao, so I will destroy his Great Dao.
I will make him submit to me, abandon the Dao for me, and lose himself in loving me, until an unquenchable fire burns amid pain and blood.
Teacher, I still hate you more than I love you. I won't kill you for what you owe me. I'll make you repay me yourself.
I once loved him to the point of madness, but now love and hate are impossible to separate. The only thing I'm sure of is that I won't let him go, even in death. He said he would stay by my side, so he can stay with me forever.
He's a heartless, faithless madman, and I'm a madman who fell into hell. We couldn't be more suited to each other. Neither of us will ever let the other go.
Gu Hanya gong and Jiyuan Chu shou.
Two deranged lovers, a love-hate relationship in my own style, and a genuine husband-killing-to-prove-the-Dao story. It starts in the mortal world.
Reader's guide:
1. This isn't recommended for readers with strong character preferences. If you feel uncomfortable while reading, please leave of your own accord.
2. Don't ask which protagonist loves the other more, or who favors whom.
3. The shou really did kill the gong, and there are no hidden circumstances. He has no regrets. He is extremely rational and obsessive, single-mindedly pursuing the Great Dao and willing to do whatever it takes. He can give up anything.
4. Both are deranged. They love and hate each other, and both their love and their desire to kill each other are real. Happy ending.
5. This story is purely the author's own indulgence. I've been craving a husband-killing-to-prove-the-Dao story for ages.
6. Written in third person. The writing is poor and the logic is a mess.
7. The CP will not be split up or reversed. Thank you.
8. There may be side couples, both BG and BL.
9. Please read the blurb carefully to avoid trouble and unpleasant surprises. If you can accept the points above, I hope you enjoy reading. If you can't, run, run, run. I won't accept people who find the story full of things they hate, keep reading anyway, and then come yell at me.
