After transmigrating into a book, Tong Yao received a Good Deeds System. As long as she did enough good deeds, she could ascend to immortality. For years, she spread kindness throughout the cultivation world, but no matter what she did, she was still missing one crucial step!
Finally, she learned that the greatest merit in the entire book would come from making the renowned Lord Zhouling kill his wife to prove his Dao.
Oh, wow!
Her chance had come!
*
Lord Zhouling commanded the laws of divine punishment. Cold and aloof, he was known as the greatest divine lord in the Nine Heavens and Eight Wastelands.
He had three taboos, each enough to make gods and ghosts tremble.
Tong Yao carefully wrote them on the blackboard, determined to break every single one!
*
First taboo: deception. Then she would take advantage of him while he was vulnerable, find Zhouling after he'd lost all his memories, and pretend to be his wife, acting as high-handedly as she pleased!
"You don't remember? I'm your Dao companion. When I tell you to go east, you don't go west. Everything has to be my way. You have to keep me happy. Do you understand?"
The lofty divine lord looked slightly puzzled. "I understand."
*
Second taboo: humiliation. Then she'd hang Zhouling up in chains, strip his upper body bare, and leave lash marks all over him. Tong Yao raised his chin with her whip and bossed him around!
"If you don't behave, I'll beat you! How about you try killing someone again?"
The restrained, ascetic look on Zhouling's face was full of suppressed breaths.
"All right."
*
Third taboo: false accusations. Then she'd accuse him of sharing a bed with a little fairy and insist on a divorce. The usually aloof and proud Lord Zhouling would be so desperate to prove his innocence that he'd cut away his flesh and scrape his bones.
"I'm not tainted. Please... don't leave me."
*
Wouldn't the untouchable flower on the mountaintop turn into a muddy dog, only to regain his memories and grind her bones to dust to prove his Dao?
Tong Yao waited and waited, and finally, the day arrived.
She was being harassed by an immortal lord she'd once been engaged to when the world shook and radiant clouds stretched for thousands of miles!
The True Lord had returned!
She watched helplessly as the greatest divine lord of the Nine Heavens and Eight Wastelands strode toward her on five-colored clouds, a Qingling Sword in his hand.
The sword that had been about to pierce her heart severed the immortal lord's hand instead!
Zhouling's face was full of jealousy.
"Who gave you permission to touch her?!"
*
Tong Yao: ?
It's over.
Damn it, the untouchable flower on the mountaintop should have stuck to being a divine lord instead of trying to be my dog!
A heroine who means to do bad things but does good deeds and earns merit at every turn VS a seemingly aloof and haughty deity who in fact disregards everything and does whatever he pleases
