I Am the Cauldron Everyone Hates

Gu Yunji is the young master of the foremost cultivation family, yet he is also the most despised person in the immortal sects.

Though blessed with stunning looks, he has a lowly furnace physique. He is also spoiled, arrogant, ignorant, mediocre in cultivation, and forever abusing his family name to bully others.

His parents despise his furnace physique as a disgrace to the family and keep him at a farmstead, ignoring him completely.

His childhood sweetheart fails to persuade him to cultivate with him and spreads rumors that Gu Yunji is a wanton whore who cannot live without a man.

His master only reluctantly takes him on as a useless disciple out of deference to the Gu family, hoping to sell him for a higher price when the time comes to arrange a marriage.

His fellow disciples look down on him, and even the servants and immortal maidens who sweep the grounds sneer that he got into the greatest sect under heaven by sleeping his way in.

But Gu Yunji cannot understand what he has done wrong. He only wants to live with dignity, like a normal person.

If others covet his beauty, mock him for being a furnace, and lay their hands on him,

must he swallow his anger and endure the humiliation?

Gu Yunji has little cultivation, parents who do not love him, and a master who does not care for him. He has no brothers or sisters to protect him, nor any close friends among his fellow disciples.

Alone, despised, and abandoned by everyone, he suffers all this because he was born with a lowly furnace physique.

He has no choice but to bare his claws and protect himself.

Later, Gu Yunji meets a commoner rogue cultivator who treats him with genuine affection.

That man does not believe the rumors. He takes Gu Yunji far away and cherishes him with all his heart.

Gu Yunji has never been loved before. He is anxious and fearful, always worried it is all just a beautiful dream.

He has nothing to offer but his hidden trump card, so he willingly accepts a furnace contract and actively helps his beloved improve his cultivation.

On the day they wed, his Dao companion raises his sword and mercilessly kills him with his own hands.

"You are merely my inner demon, yet you made me succumb to worldly desire while I descended to undergo tribulation. Today, I shall kill you to prove my path of ruthless cultivation!"

At last, Gu Yunji understands. His Dao companion is a celestial deity who cultivates the path of ruthless cultivation, and killing him is the only way to return to the heavens.

All that talk of growing old together and never parting, even in death, was nothing but a play of false affection.

He was merely an inner demon who should never have existed.

Gu Yunji is dead, but even death cannot make him accept his fate.

At the Bridge of Helplessness, he smashes Meng Po's soup and twists off the King of Hell's head with his bare hands.

He feeds on rotting corpses and bones, devours dead souls and evil spirits alive, and single-handedly conquers the underworld, ruling over the netherworld and the Yellow Springs.

He invents a wicked cultivation technique that devours other people's magic power, keeps countless male lovers in his harem, and becomes a debauched demon whom everyone wants to see dead.

Gu Yunji thinks: So what if I'm a demon? So what if you're a celestial deity?

I will destroy the heavens above and drag you down from your exalted divine throne.

I will shatter your path of ruthless cultivation and imprison you by my side for all eternity.

What kind of celestial deity are you? You're just the most disobedient furnace in my bedchamber.

Aloof, ruthless celestial deity gong vs. poisonous, deranged, gloomy shou

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one pairings at different stages. Shou is 0.5. Strong x strong. Happy ending.

2. Rivalry for the gong. Angsty groveling arc. The shou screws around with other people.

3. The final pairing is with the celestial deity. The shou is the gong's inner demon. Selfcest! Selfcest!

[Important: The shou is not chaste after turning evil. Either can top or bottom, but the main couple has no role reversal!]
