After Signing a Heartless Pact with the Immortal Venerable

[Main story complete] Coercive romance + old-school melodrama, with a maximum-intensity groveling redemption arc As soon as Hua Yao transmigrated, she found an injured, amnesiac man on a mountain. She named him A Fu, and the two got married. A Fu treated her very well, always saving the best for her. Their life was poor and ordinary, but Hua Yao was content. But one day, A Fu recovered his memories. "Miss." Standing among the clouds, he spoke with distant detachment. "I am grateful that you saved me. This debt between us must now be settled. Is there anything you want? Whatever you need, I can have it prepared, and ensure you live in comfort and abundance for the rest of your life." "Does that mean I have to sign that merciless contract, sever our ties, and never have anything to do with you again?" she asked softly. He looked at her coolly and did not deny it. Only then did she learn that her husband did not have a rustic name like A Fu. He was the most gifted sword cultivator in a thousand years at Baiyujing, a lofty immortal lord. Later, when the demons invaded, Hua Yao was captured by them before Jun Wuci arrived. He saw her, but did not save her. Instead, he turned away and sent a sword strike splitting the sky, its rainbow of sword energy aimed only at rescuing Xiao Yunyan behind him. He let Hua Yao fall into the Ten Thousand Demon Pit, where her soul was annihilated. After Hua Yao died, demons in the Demon Abyss would often see a man staggering along with a sword in his hand. "Have you seen my wife? Her name is Hua Yao... She wears her hair in braids... She has a lovely smile." "Her name is Hua Yao. She's my wife. Have any of you seen her?" He searched for her like a madman, and finally found her. But she was about to spend her wedding night with another man? He could not take her away. No matter what he did, she would not even look at him anymore. So... he hid her away, in a place only he knew, where no one could ever take her from him again. But even that was not enough. Before the bronze mirror, he pressed her again and again: "Hua Yao... Say you love me." The iron chains rattled. His hand came around from her side, gripping her throat. His voice was hoarse as he coaxed her. "Hua Yao... Be good and say you only love me." Jun Wuci was the beloved of countless female cultivators, the moon in the heavens. But later, they watched with their own eyes as he fell from grace for a mortal woman named Hua Yao, committing every kind of mad deed just to make her look at him once more. - The aloof beauty who had renounced love is driven mad and forced into a coercive romance. There are two completed novels of the same type in my collection: The Master Went Mad After I Faked My Death and The Fourth Year After Her Death. Feel free to check them out. Coming Soon: After Our Separation, I Was Reborn with My Cold Ex-Husband If the lofty Jun Wujin had not been poisoned by a love spell, Zhang Wanyu could never have spent one passionate night with him, let alone gotten her wish and married him. But Jun Wujin was busy, searching for rare treasures from heaven and earth, even when he was covered in wounds and his cultivation realm was falling. Although they spent little time together and Jun Wujin was courteous but distant, she had all the benefits a cultivation partner should have. Her talent was mediocre, so he searched the world to find her the precious Mirror-Breaking Pill. He even helped her withstand the tribulation lightning when she reached the Golden Core stage. She naively thought he loved her, too. But as soon as the tribulation ended, he ignored his battered state and placed all the rare treasures he had collected over the years before her, asking her to craft a Nine Heavens Soul-Gathering Lantern. The Nine Heavens Soul-Gathering Lantern had to be forged with the blood of a Zhang family member at the Golden Core stage. She was the only surviving member of the Zhang family of Ba Commandery. "So you helped me cultivate so I could make the Nine Heavens Soul-Gathering Lantern?" she asked softly. "Yes." "So the person you spent sixty years searching for treasures to save was your childhood friend, Xu Changyun?" "Yes." He stared at her and answered plainly, without a moment's hesitation. Zhang Wanyu finally understood. She would never marry Jun Wujin again. -- After Jun Wujin was reborn, he thought they could start over. He patiently waited for Zhang Wanyu to spend a passionate night with him, just as she had in their previous life. But then the demonic beasts invaded. He kicked open the door to save his friend. In the flickering candlelight, the scene before him made the blood in his veins freeze. On the bed, Zhang Wanyu's clothes were half undone and her hair was disheveled. Ambiguous red marks stood out on her jade-white shoulder and neck, while his friend held her from behind, fingers resting at her open collar. Theme: Be your own queen
