My Husband Is Actually the Villainous Demon God

Jiang Rou was a rare cultivation prodigy in the immortal sect, with exceptional natural talent and a boundless future ahead of her. However, during a trial in a secret realm, she was injured by a strange beast while saving a companion, and her spiritual roots were destroyed.

In a single night, she fell from being the sect's favored genius into the depths of despair, reduced to a cripple. Abandoned by the immortal sect, she was then forced by her parents to marry a mortal, as if they were simply passing off a burden.

After marrying a mortal and having children, Jiang Rou left the immortal sect behind for good. She was unwilling, but powerless to change things. Day after day, she drifted through life, numbing herself with alcohol, ignoring her mortal husband and the two children crying to be fed.

The Nine Nether Netherworld Venerable was once a great demon feared by the immortal sect, but in recent years he had suddenly fallen silent.

No one would believe that this mighty god of the demonic realm had taken the form of a mortal physician named Xie Linzhou. By day, he ran a clinic to support his family. At night, he had to go home and care for two young children and his troublesome drunk of a wife.

After putting the children to bed, he went out to search from house to house for his wife, who had probably gotten drunk and caused a scene somewhere again. He apologized to people and brought her home. Watching the woman, covered in filth after throwing up, smack him while half-conscious, he sighed and patiently helped her wash up and change clothes.

By chance, Jiang Rou glimpsed the secrets of fate and finally came to her senses. She had been wasting away for so many years. It was time to let go.

Looking at the two small courtyards before her, she saw that they were clean and tidy. They were small, but large enough for a family to live in. Her mortal husband was gentle and handsome, and their two young children were well-behaved and sensible.

Now that she had come to her senses, Jiang Rou decided to accept reality and stop sinking into despair. She would take good care of her life and work with her husband to raise their two children.

Xie Linzhou quietly watched the woman before him. Her expression was no longer cold and hostile as usual. Instead, she seemed a little awkward. Just a moment ago, she had told him, "Everything before was my fault. I treated you and the children poorly, and I am truly ashamed. From now on, I will work with you wholeheartedly and take good care of the children."

He was silent for a moment, then gave a simple reply: "All right."

No one knew that the hands this once bloodthirsty great demon had clasped behind his back were trembling slightly with nerves, though he tried to act natural.

*

Although Jiang Rou's spiritual roots had been destroyed, she had at least once been a cultivator. She felt she should be the one to protect the whole family, so she took up cultivation again. Even though cultivating was now extremely difficult, she gritted her teeth and persevered to protect her husband and children.

Until one day, she accidentally discovered that her seemingly weak and helpless husband could wipe out an entire household of high-ranking cultivators with a flick of his fingers.

Jiang Rou: "??????!!!!!!!"

Wait, husband, are you hiding something from me?

A sweet romance!

My dear readers, I have two upcoming novels.

Fantasy upcoming novel: The Villainess Awakens

Synopsis:

One day, Bai Shuyue suddenly discovered that she was living inside a cultivation story, where she was the vicious female supporting character.

The male lead was Sword Venerable Shuchen, aloof and otherworldly, with the bearing of a celestial being. Bai Shuyue fell in love with him at first sight.

To pursue him, she broke off her engagement with her childhood sweetheart and willingly became Sword Venerable Shuchen's human medicine, using her blood as an ingredient to save his beloved, Lin Qingwan.

Sword Venerable Shuchen promised her that if Lin Qingwan woke up, he would marry Bai Shuyue.

Bai Shuyue dreamed of becoming his lawful wife, so she willingly offered up her blood.

Later, Lin Qingwan woke up, and Sword Venerable Shuchen kept his promise and married Bai Shuyue. But after they wed, he refused to spare his wife a second glance, spending every day entangled with Lin Qingwan instead.

Bai Shuyue couldn't accept it. She went mad, made scenes, and targeted Lin Qingwan at every turn, only earning more of Sword Venerable Shuchen's hatred. Her resentment grew so strong that she fell into demonic cultivation. In the end, Sword Venerable Shuchen trapped her in a formation and killed her with a single sword thrust.

Bai Shuyue saw the story in her mind describing Sword Venerable Shuchen and Lin Qingwan. Because she was his lawful wife, their complicated status led to an emotional tangle, with one dramatic, passionate scene after another of one fleeing and the other pursuing.

Now free from the control of the story's System, Bai Shuyue looked coldly over everything she had experienced. She had fallen in love with Sword Venerable Shuchen at first sight and adored him obsessively. When she broke off her engagement with her childhood sweetheart, she had said, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Bai family. How could I marry an ugly monster?"

Yet she knew the scar on his face had been left by demonic flames when he fought monsters to save the people. She had once held that face in her hands, her eyes full of concern.

How could she have said such a thing? How could she have suddenly fallen so helplessly in love with Sword Venerable Shuchen? How could she have degraded herself for a man who didn't love her, becoming a mad and hideous woman?

Now, Lin Qingwan had not yet woken up. Bai Shuyue had not yet married Sword Venerable Shuchen, and she had not yet gone mad and fallen into demonic cultivation.

Free from the story's System, Bai Shuyue no longer wanted to be a puppet pushing the male and female leads into emotional entanglements. She would take control of her own life and become herself again.

She no longer wanted to pay any attention to Sword Venerable Shuchen, the man she had once pursued so frantically that she had nearly laid her heart at his feet.

She found the childhood friend she had once hurt. At the end of the story, after she fell into demonic cultivation, he had already become the immortal sect's god of war. He was tall and imposing in silver-scaled armor, holding a black iron halberd with frost gleaming along its double blades.

The look in his eyes was colder than the halberd in his hand.

Bai Shuyue thought he would kill her, but instead he tossed her a pill and let her go.

Now Bai Shuyue stood before him and offered him a sweet bun he had loved as a child. The unscarred half of the man's face was stunningly beautiful. A mask covered the other half, hiding the ugly scars.

His eyes were puzzled, yet cold, as he looked at her.

He remembered a girl from their youth holding his face and crying as she asked, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it?"

But later, in front of everyone, she had said, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Bai family. How could I marry an ugly monster?"

Hadn't she gone to Sword Venerable Shuchen? What was she doing here now?

She had humiliated him in public. For years, he had woken in the middle of the night with pain and coldness in his heart. He never wanted to see her again for as long as he lived.

His heart struggled violently as hatred surged over him like a tide. Yet, as if possessed, he took the sweet bun she offered and put it in his mouth without thinking.

To his surprise, it tasted just as sweet as it had when they were young.

Fantasy romance upcoming novel: When I Stopped Pining for My Dream Man

Synopsis: Chen Wei was seventeen the year she met Shen Li. That was when Old Mr. Shen brought her from a rural village in the mainland to Hong Kong, saying he wanted to repay Chen Wei's father for saving his life years ago.

The Shen family's opulence left this shy, insecure country girl feeling more and more out of place. Shen Li was a ray of light in her dark, damp days.

He was five years older than her. He had just returned from studying abroad and was the Shen family's handpicked heir. A born favorite of heaven, he was nevertheless always polite, gently stepping in when others mocked her.

The stirrings of young love came fiercely and passionately. Every smile and frown of his enchanted her.

The blue veins along his arm as his five fingers firmly gripped a ball.

The way he politely apologized in a deep Cantonese voice after soundly defeating his opponent at the card table, smiling all the while.

The careless, roguish air that came through when he lowered his head to light a cigarette, despite his gentle, refined nature.

But she knew they were worlds apart. The girls around him were either gorgeous and alluring or sophisticated and elegant, nothing like her.

She thought she would keep her love secret for the rest of her life, until Old Mr. Shen arranged for her to marry Shen Li.

She married Shen Li with a heart full of joy, but from their very first day as a married couple, he never returned to their marital home. She knew there was always another woman by his side.

But it was all right. She was his wife now, so she could love him openly. She kept to her place, stayed low-key and virtuous, and tried to please him with timid, humble devotion. She placed her whole heart and soul in Shen Li, completely losing herself. She had lowered herself into the dust, but her ardor only made him detest her more.

"I can't give you what you want."

"I need space of my own. Please stop bothering me, all right?"

He deliberately kept his distance from her, polite but detached. His tone was gentle, but his words were anything but kind.

Chen Wei fell into a cycle of despairing self-torment and became seriously ill, but he never came to see her, not even once. Her heart shattered, and in the midst of her illness, she had a dream.

In the dream, though her father had died young, her mother had not become so depressed that she died a few years later. Chen Wei had not been forced to live with her aunt and uncle in the countryside, either.

Her mother emerged from her grief and took her away from that little corner of the world, remarrying a wealthy Chinese businessman. Her stepfather treated her like his own daughter, and her mother cared for her tenderly. Even her stepbrother, with whom she had never been close, supported her career financially after taking control of the family business.

She had been cherished and loved since childhood. She was sunny, cheerful, and confident, no longer the insecure, gloomy Chen Wei.

When she woke from the dream, Chen Wei suddenly understood. Life could take another shape. She could shine just as brilliantly.

It wasn't too late to change things now.

It was the 1990s in Hong Kong, a prosperous place full of opportunities. As Shen Li's wife, she had many advantages and more resources at her disposal than she could count.

She stopped spending her thoughts and time on Shen Li. Instead, she began using every resource available to improve herself and continued pursuing the career she had loved in another world.

Her efforts paid off. She was admitted to Hong Kong's top-ranked university and became a leading talent at the school. Major media outlets competed to report on her research achievements.

The once insecure, timid, and hesitant Chen Wei finally stood in the spotlight, radiant and confident, drawing more and more attention, including Shen Li's.

At first, he kept looking at her. Later, he tentatively tried to get close.

But Chen Wei felt very little.

It doesn't matter anymore, Shen Li. I only love myself now.

"I think I need some personal space of my own." Now it was her turn to say those words to him.

So, Shen Li, let's get divorced.

*A crematorium-style regret story with an especially brutal reckoning.

*The heroine only loves herself.

Theme: Lovers should stand together and face the world.
