My Husband Cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness

Before her death, Demon Lord Yun Luan did something absurd. She took a fancy to a man, fell for his looks, and set him up with a romance scam, hoping to abduct him and bring him home as her little husband. Instead, her hideout was raided. * The righteous dragon-slaying campaign had been a long time coming. The twelve immortal sects joined forces to exterminate the Demon Abyss clan. Yun Luan fought a bloody battle on Mount Lingxu for 33 days, taking on ten opponents at once and sweeping through the twelve sects, slaughtering the righteous to the last. * At the final showdown with Xie Changqing, the Sword Venerable of the immortal sects, the sects betrayed him to protect their own interests, sealing him on Mount Lingxu to die alongside Yun Luan. Only then did Yun Luan realize that the man she'd been dreaming of abducting and bringing home as her little husband was a walking bundle of red flags. * Legend said he could cleave the Nine Provinces with one sword [his strength was terrifying]. He was always giving people the cold shoulder [his temper was awful]. He'd challenge all the immortal sects alone, sword in hand, to a showdown atop the Forbidden City [being invincible must be so lonely]. He cultivated the Path of Emotionlessness [he knew nothing about love]. He was the foremost elder of the twelve immortal sects [burdened with the great duty of protecting all living things]. * Yun Luan wanted to gouge out her own eyes and run away that very night. Unfortunately, the bloody battle with the immortal sects had left her physically and mentally exhausted, while Xie Changqing's Seven Stars Sword never returned empty-handed. Since she was going to die either way, she decided to indulge herself for once. She forced a kiss on Xie Changqing before she died. Her bloodied kiss, full of reckless madness, shattered his Path of Emotionlessness. In his deranged state, Xie Changqing beat her until she was reduced to ashes. From then on, Demon Lord Yun Luan of the Demon Abyss was no more. * For the next three hundred years, Xie Changqing was trapped on Mount Lingxu, unable to cultivate any further. The keepsake Yun Luan left behind had been given to her by him. Holding the cracked clay flute, he remembered the person who'd worn a secret identity and called him brother. He had so many things he wanted to ask her, but all he could do was live with the regret. The immortal sects' betrayal, and Yun Luan's fraudulent romance, drove Xie Changqing into demonic cultivation. * Yun Luan came back to life in a mortal body. She had a husband of two years, a handsome man with a crane-like figure and a scholar's degree who taught at a private school to support his family. Her husband treated her very well. Though she wore plain clothes and simple hairpins, she never had to lift a finger to cook, wash clothes, or clean. He did occasionally make her blush. By day, her husband looked frail and sickly, but at night he was far too passionate, loving to cuddle close and linger with her. Sometimes she couldn't take it anymore. * Then one day, cultivators from the mystic sects came looking for them. Upon seeing the chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and woman in the courtyard, they were all stunned. The foremost elder of the twelve immortal sects, Lord Changqing, who was said to cultivate the Path of Emotionlessness, was actually keeping house for a mortal woman, doing the laundry, cooking, and feeding cats and dogs?! * Later, Yun Luan's demonic nature awoke and she regained her memories of her past life. All she wanted was to reform and become a decent person. But when she looked at the man sleeping beside her, she thought, Good heavens, I can't live like this!
