The Sword Venerable After Losing His Memory

[This novel enters VIP on March 28. Chapters 20–148 will be revised into VIP chapters. If you have already read them, please don't buy them again.]

Life is unpredictable. A violent, cold-blooded Sword Venerable, rejected by the Heavenly Dao and more reckless than any demonic cultivator, suddenly loses his memory and cultivation, becoming an honest, simple-minded fishmonger on the coast who practices the Five Virtues and Four Beauties.

When the fishmonger first learns that he has a demonic cultivator for a partner: What does love matter? It would only slow down my fish sales. Why not put aside all that fighting and killing and be a peaceful person like me?

After meeting the demonic cultivator in person: Where's my sword?! Everyone, out of my way! Don't stop me from finding my partner!

The enemies who come knocking one after another after learning that the Sword Venerable has lost his memory: ...Sorry to bother you. We'll be leaving now...

From then on, the thing his disciples worry about most is that, after losing his memory, their pure and innocent Sword Venerable will be slapped into a crack in a rock by his genuinely cold and merciless demonic cultivator partner, stuck so fast they can't pull him out.

Ji Han remembers how Xie Yan once picked up the umbrella he had thrown away in the rain. Its ribs were broken, and no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't open. The torrential rain poured down, soaking Xie Yan from head to toe.

The young man destined to soar through the clouds and ascend to immortality was drenched by the rain, alone, like a crane caught in a downpour.

Later, whenever Ji Han fell into demonic cultivation, he often thought of that moment. He wanted to hold an umbrella over Xie Yan, but all he could do was turn and walk into the pitch-black rain.

The rain washed over the hilt of his blade. Ahead lay a narrow alley. Trapped in that cramped little world, he struggled, unable to escape.

Blurb:

Chen Shi transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder character who doesn't survive ten chapters.

After transmigrating, he has to care for an old lady who is the Heavenly Dao and whose words become law, raise a younger brother who is a thoroughly eldritch evil spirit, and somehow find time to rewrite his own melodramatic fate before those ten chapters are up.

In the original story, Chen Shi has a lover named Lu Daoqian, who is blind. On their wedding night, the groom first completes the wedding ceremony, then promptly takes Chen Shi's life.

It turns out Lu Daoqian is the mortal incarnation of a holy son from beyond the heavens. The holy son's cultivation has reached an impasse, so he manifests as a mortal to undergo tribulations in the human world. Once he completes his final romantic tribulation, he will have fulfilled his merit and ascended to immortality.

Chen Shi understands now. His role is the wife who gets killed so her husband can prove his Dao...

When he reaches a pivotal moment in the story and sees the blind young man, tortured and on the brink of death in an evil spirit's temple...

Chen Shi turns and walks away.

Chen Shi thinks he has escaped the plot, but one dark and stormy night, the blind young man catches up with him and lays a sword against his neck. In a refined, courteous, and tender voice, he says that he fell in love with Chen Shi at first sight, and his feelings only deepened when they met again.

Chen Shi bursts into tears: Big shot, why don't you feel the two huge holes in your face, then listen to what you're saying?

Premise: As long as life goes on, so does the struggle.
