After Leaving the Heartless Sword Venerable

[Complete] Wusu was born from chaos and became a demon. Because her magic is weak, people often mistake her for an ordinary human. She's perfectly happy living as an ordinary person. She keeps to herself in the busiest city in the mortal realm and works three jobs a day to support herself. Then an accident leads to one reckless night, and by a twist of fate, she ends up with a mortal husband. Though he is mortal and they are worlds apart in status, he insists on staying by Wusu's side. Wusu knows nothing about love, so she decides to humor her husband and leave when he gets tired of her. But one day, an immortal from the Immortal Continent arrives and says her husband has an unparalleled gift for cultivation. Wusu thinks, Surely he'll leave now, for the Immortal Continent beyond the mortal world, to cultivate the path of detachment. But her husband sends the immortal away. Wusu is stunned for three days. One night, he kisses Wusu. His lips are cold, but his eyes burn with fierce devotion. Wusu tilts her head and holds him. Following the immortal's instructions, she cuts the thread of love connecting her husband to her. He forgets her, and Wusu leaves, returning to her life as an ordinary little demon who works three jobs a day. Later, Wusu gets caught up in a disaster caused by a great demon's rampage and is mistaken for the culprit. The cultivators of the Immortal Continent capture her. Wusu is taken to the Immortal Continent to stand trial, with heavy demon-binding chains wrapped around her ankles. She is pushed before the ruler of the Immortal Continent, the greatest Sword Venerable under Heaven. Wusu lowers her head. She sees someone slowly walking toward her, a simple, worn sachet hanging at his waist. The sachet is embroidered with mandarin ducks entwining their necks. Long ago, Wusu had sewn it by hand as a gift for her husband. Theme: Finding the meaning of life
