Super Topic: Ai Yu by Xiao Changjin
World-destroying girl x leader of the righteous path
Ever since I was little, my mother told me, "Even if you're only a mortal, you should uphold justice."
But I cried and said, "I want to destroy the world."
Not because I hated anyone.
It was simply the way my heart was set.
Mother, you have to understand: someone in this world has to be the villain.

The year I tried to destroy the world, I failed.
My primordial soul escaped by sheer luck and possessed a sickly commandery princess. Afraid I would return, the cultivation world nailed my original body inside the dark, icy purgatory.
Back then, I thought Xue Qiusu was just one of the tens of millions of cultivators who had come to kill me. His gaze was indifferent, a beauty mark rested at the corner of his eye, and his immortal sword, Bixie, made it seem as if we were born to fight to the death.
If he hadn't opposed everyone and insisted on marrying me,
I might have died without ever knowing that he had used his heart's blood as medicine to give me a mortal lifespan beyond what was written in the Book of Life and Death.
He said, "My only Dao companion will be Xiao Yu. In this life, I may fail others, but I will never fail you."
But I was always destined to be the one who failed you.

On my wedding day, the road was lined with ten miles of red decorations. The guards at the Ice Prison were more lax than ever.
I thought I'd soon be able to reclaim my original body, so I sat in the bridal sedan, absolutely delighted.
When the icy flames began to consume my body, the person I felt most sorry for was my Dao companion. Destroying the world was my own path, and he had been dragged into it for no reason. He must have regretted it.
But when Xue Qiusu took more than eighty flying spikes for me, then held my fading hand and ran along the city wall, trading the blaze of the whole city for one radiant smile from me, I finally understood:
My final tribulation before forming my nascent soul was him.
The CP dynamic is based on a meme found online:
Male lead: %#,##**#/ (profanity)
Girl: We're very sorry (covers her mouth)
Don't look for manners in a story where the male lead swears.
Don't look for a cold, heartless heroine in a story where she has strong feelings.
Pure romance with a generally happy ending. Check the author's profile for details.
Theme: Cross the long winter and you'll see the spring dawn.
