[Enemies Can Never Become Wives + Best Friends Fall Out and Face a Long Road to Reconciliation + The Powerful One Has Been Plotting for Ages to Steal Her Away]
The infamous demon lord Wen Nanfeng died. When she opened her eyes, she discovered she was alive again, but a hundred years had passed since her defeat.
She awoke beside the Ming River, her cultivation completely gone, a cripple with an unfamiliar mark over her heart.
To quickly rebuild her cultivation, settle her worldly ties and karma, and ascend as soon as possible, Wen Nanfeng had no choice but to take an unconventional approach: she decided to find herself a cultivation partner.
She cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness. As long as her Dao heart remained intact, she could sever her romantic entanglement with her own hands, kill her husband to prove her Dao, and restore her meridians. Her cultivation would then advance by leaps and bounds.
After considering her options, Wen Nanfeng decided the little rogue cultivator who followed her around every day would do nicely.
He was handsome, his cultivation was low, and even without spiritual power, she could kill him without breaking a sweat.
She patiently spent romantic evenings among flowers and beneath the moon with the little cultivator, and at last he blushed and agreed to become her cultivation partner.
Beneath the warm glow of red candles, she sneered, drew her sword, sliced through her wedding robes, and plunged her blade into his heart. As the tip sank in and blood sprayed, her own heart suddenly ached too.
The unfamiliar mark flashed, and the little cultivator turned into countless motes of spiritual light that scattered into the void.
As Wen Nanfeng watched in shock, a tall figure emerged from the thick fog, revealing a handsome face even more cold and fierce than before.
Wasn't this her old nemesis, who had been in seclusion for a hundred years?
Having failed to prove her Dao, Wen Nanfeng spun around to leave. The thought that she had become the cultivation partner of one of his avatars made her shudder with revulsion.
But the man stepped forward and casually caught hold of her, his smile seeming to mean more than it showed. "It's been so long. How did you end up in such a sorry state?"
"If anyone has bullied you, I'll make sure they pay." He deliberately brushed his fingers over the back of her hand and grinned brazenly. "My wife."

After Wen Nanfeng died, the entire cultivation world celebrated. As the one who had personally killed the demon lord, Wen Rufeng rose in status and was hailed as the foremost cultivator in the world.
Yet on the day the demon lord died, Wen Rufeng entered seclusion and never emerged again.
Everyone assumed he was devoted to the Great Dao. They did not know that from that day onward, his cultivation never advanced another inch.
His cavern was piled high with rare treasures and covered in soul-searching arrays, but a hundred years passed without the slightest response.
Wen Rufeng gave a bitter laugh, convinced she was truly dead, or else unwilling to forgive him.
He did not know that someone had secretly yearned for her for years. The night she was reported dead, that person forced his way out of seclusion and crossed the Ming River alone, sacrificing half his cultivation. For a hundred years, he painstakingly pieced together her spiritual consciousness, scattered into millions of fragments.
At last, he got there first.
Tips:
1. Neither the male nor female lead is a good person. They are villains through and through, so readers with strong moral sensibilities should run.
2. A new arrival versus a childhood friend. Includes a childhood-friend-reconciliation arc, while the new arrival has been plotting for ages.
3. As everyone knows, you can't cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness in JJ, so the female lead will recover her cultivation in various ways. Even without spiritual power, she can defeat anyone in the Golden Core stage, and once she regains her cultivation, she and the male lead will be evenly matched at the pinnacle of power.
4. This is not a female-empowerment story or a story centered on a powerful female lead. Romance and plot get equal attention.
