Jiang Miaomiao is a low-ranking demonic cultivator, the daughter of the chieftain of the witch clan in southern Xinjiang.
From childhood, her father taught her that the Love Gu was the hardest and most powerful Gu in the world to cultivate.
Find someone in love, plant the Love Gu inside him, and feed it with the love within him. Once the Gu matures, cut out his heart and refine it into a Gu. This Gu can serve as a demonic core. Consume it to enter the demonic path and advance by leaps and bounds, so that no one will ever be able to bully the witch clan of southern Xinjiang again.
Shen Huaizhi is a divine lord in Heaven who oversees the laws of discipline. He cultivated through the law and severed his ties to love.
But after being injured in battle with the Demon God, he fell into the mortal world, lost his memories, and fell in love with a human.
A High God who cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness will lose all his cultivation if he becomes attached to someone. Only by ending that love with his own hands can he return to his divine station and protect the Three Realms.
Jiang Miaomiao found the injured, amnesiac Shen Huaizhi, and the two became an ordinary married couple in a small town.
Spring passed into autumn, and winter turned to summer.
The Gu Jiang Miaomiao had planted in Shen Huaizhi matured, and Shen Huaizhi recovered his memories.
It was an ordinary night.
Under a moonless sky, with the wind howling, Jiang Miaomiao quietly opened her eyes and sat up. She took the curved blade from beneath her pillow and silently pressed it against the heart of the person beside her.
A moment later, she sighed, put the blade back beneath her pillow, lay down, edged closer to the person beside her, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the stillness of the night, Shen Huaizhi struggled free from the tight embrace of the person beside him. He picked up the long sword by the bed and stared pensively at the tassel on its hilt.
After a long while, he ultimately did not draw the sword. He only gazed at the sleeping face beside him, carefully tucked the uncovered corner of her blanket around her, gently lifted her hand and placed it back on him, then closed his eyes.
You want to kill your wife to prove your Dao. I want to kill my husband to refine a Gu.
In the end, neither of us could bring ourselves to do it.
A gentle, aloof High God hero x a lively, cheerful heroine from an ancient witch clan
[Reader's Guide]
1. The title sounds intense, but the story has nothing to do with angst. Of course it has a happy ending. If I make you suffer even a little, I'm a puppy.
2. Before their identities are revealed, the hero and heroine live like an ordinary married couple. It's a short story.
3. I may make small changes to the blurb before I start posting, and the names may change too, but the general tone of the plot will stay about the same. What can I say? I stayed up half the night and wrote most of a rough outline in one go...
4. If you've read this far, give it a bookmark!
One last note: No, this isn't the blurb I wrote after getting drunk on Qixi night. I wrote this one the following day, after drinking coffee and being unable to sleep, by expanding another idea in my little notebook.
Blurb written in the middle of the night on August 23, 2023.
Theme: Beautiful love can withstand any test
