Cool, career-minded, stunning mountain spirit x shameless, fun-loving genius sword cultivator

#I Died, Suddenly Came Back to Life, and Started Attacking My Ex-Husband#

A year after marrying into the heir's household, Yi Duqiao unexpectedly discovered that her husband had a beloved woman in his heart.

That woman was in an immortal sect, cultivating the merciless path, cold and aloof as ice and snow.

Her husband, Xu Qinghan, lived among mortals, raised in wealth and luxury, a romantic with a devoted heart.

Childhood friends, they were a pair perfectly matched in every storybook.

When Xu Qinghan asked for a divorce, she calmly pressed her fingerprint to the agreement and never spared him another glance.

Unfortunately, Heaven still did not take pity on her.

After leaving the capital, Yi Duqiao died a tragic death amid a chaotic torrent of spiritual energy, her bones buried deep in the mountains.

When she woke again, she had become the first mountain spirit ever cultivated from a mortal.

-

As a notorious wastrel heir in the capital, Xu Qinghan lived by the principle of studying only when absolutely necessary. He spent his days darting between gambling dens and wine houses, refusing to set foot in an immortal sect even if it killed him.

He had always believed that though he and Yi Duqiao had married for their families' sake, there was genuine affection between them.

When the immortal sect came calling one day, he learned from his childhood sweetheart that he had been afflicted with a love gu. Anyone afflicted would fall deeply and helplessly in love with the person who planted it.

So it had all been Yi Duqiao's deception.

Only after divorcing Yi Duqiao and angrily entering an immortal sect did he learn two things.

First, he was born with a spiritual constitution, immune to every gu.

Second, his wife had already died unjustly on Duanyue Cliff.

After half a lifetime of being a bastard, Xu Qinghan suddenly realized he had done wrong.

-

Yi Duqiao spent sixty years cultivating into a mountain spirit.

When mountain spirits emerge, the world changes.

From then on, the Ghost Path rose to power, standing as an equal to the immortal sects.

They said there was a sword cultivator in an immortal sect who had spent sixty years cutting down countless evil ghost cultivators, a model ghost hunter.

Yi Duqiao asked nonchalantly, "What's that sword cultivator's name?"

Her subordinate replied, "Xu Qinghan."

Yi Duqiao: "..."

-

Later, Yi Duqiao faced ten thousand enemies alone.

In the depths of despair, she reforged her Dao heart, broke through to the Deity Transformation realm, and carved a path to survival for all living beings.

What she didn't know was this:

That very day, Xu Qinghan sacrificed his soul to an ancient, malevolent sword.

He filled the final crack in her Dao heart.

Years later, Xu Qinghan's scattered soul reassembled.

He had lost all his memories, remembering only that he had seen a sword before he died.

It seemed to have been very closely connected to him.

When he saw the Willow Sword at Yi Duqiao's waist, Xu Qinghan suddenly understood, firmly convinced he was the sword's spirit.

Xu Qinghan exclaimed excitedly, "Master!"

Yi Duqiao: "...Huh?"

In short, this is a story about two adults rekindling their love after breaking up.

Reader's guide:

1. A gorgeous, mature woman and a shameless wastrel. One-on-one romance, equally matched leads, both sexually inexperienced, a rekindled romance with a happy ending, no bait-and-switch. A bit of an ensemble cast, happy ending. After seeing the content warnings, I'll add one more: it's one-on-one, but the heroine will have close male friends.

2. The heroine spends the first tens of thousands of words growing. After the story goes premium, she starts killing. The romance begins around Chapter 33 (the main plot takes its time).

3. After her resurrection, the heroine is truly clearheaded and career-minded, focused on building her career. Her values before and after her resurrection are very different.

4. Mountain spirit means exactly what it says, and is only used as a borrowed name. My cultural knowledge is limited, so please go easy on me.

5. The beloved woman has no romantic storyline with the male lead.

6. Don't expect too much from the male lead early on. After being widowed, he becomes a fun-loving rascal. His emotional growth takes time. At first he's a spoiled, irresponsible piece of trash; later, he becomes the heroine's dog.

7. The male lead will have to pay an equal or greater price before he can be with the heroine. He'll suffer heartbreak, lose everything, and die. The warnings are accurate, but please don't invent any. I've listed every warning I can think of. I'm really fragile TT

8. Cultivation realms: Qi Refining -> Foundation Establishment -> Golden Core -> Nascent Soul -> Deity Transformation -> Great Ascension. After Great Ascension comes the tribulation and ascension.

9. Fifteen pounds.
