After Becoming the Villain's Cannon-Fodder Husband

Wen Yuan accidentally trained himself to death. When he woke up again, he found he had been reborn as the disposable husband of a villainous CEO.

The husband was just a pawn. His family treated him like a spy and a cash cow, while the CEO, who saw through everything, treated him like a decoration and a human shield. In short, nobody gave him a second thought.

Wen Yuan's take on it was: An engagement? Got it, a legally sanctioned cultivation partner. Mm, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, strong arms, an eight-pack. He looks pretty powerful. But...

Noticing the man's legs in the wheelchair, he sighed in disappointment. "...Never mind. To do a good job, you need the right tools." Better heal his legs first, or they wouldn't be able to practice half the positions in the Dual Cultivation Manual.

Xi Cheng: "?"

As an undisputed darling of the heavens, Xi Cheng had enjoyed an easy life for the first twenty-odd years: born into a fabulously wealthy family, gifted and clever, and adored by his parents.

Even after a car accident left him with two useless legs, he had no intention of lowering his standards for a partner. He had never thought much of Wen Yuan, who had been sent to marry him in someone else's place, and he wasn't about to start now. He took Wen Yuan's promise to heal his legs as a joke.

He'd have to be crazy to distrust professional doctors and be swayed by a few sweet words from a complete amateur!

Later, Wen Yuan really did treat his legs with meticulous care, and they really did start to improve under his treatment.

Xi Cheng: ...So I guess you can't judge a book by its cover. And he must really love me.

Later still.

Xi Cheng: At first, I thought Wen Yuan had fallen in love with me. Then I realized he meant "fallen in love" literally, and finally figured out that his idea of falling in love was just about reaching immortality through cultivation! Wen Yuan, you liar!

A carefree, heartless bottom who only wants to practice dual cultivation and ascend vs. a reborn CEO who falls hard for him
