Bound by a Sword Cultivator Who Transmigrated into a Book

Coming soon: The Young Alliance Leader Keeps Trying to Unmask Me. Blurb at the very bottom.

Blurb: [Sharp-tongued, proud, snarky sword spirit bottom x cold and heartless to outsiders, doting husband and jealous fiend to his beloved top]

As the spirit of an immortal sword, it would be one thing if I had no spiritual materials or spiritual energy. But not even getting to see a single cultivator? That's too much.

Whenever Yan Hong looked at the Heavenly Dao's seal in the sword's inner world, he ground his teeth in fury.

You blew up my sword-forging furnace, dumped me in the lower realm, and won't even let me escape. Just you wait, damn Heavenly Dao. When I become a hungry spirit, you'll be the first thing I bite.

At least storybooks could liven up his dull life. There was just one poor boy who always came to bother him.

Dao Lingze: I was born for Yan Hong. Come with me, and you'll enjoy every spiritual delicacy under the sun.

Yan Hong: Give me a break. Do you even know what a spirit stone looks like? You can't scrape together enough copper coins, so quit making grand promises.

Dao Lingze: I'll find every spiritual material needed to repair your sword body.

Yan Hong: Have you seen the wood and ore in the lower realm? How could they possibly work? You're going to break the sword apart!

Dao Lingze: Bind yourself to me with a life-bond contract, Hong'er. Then you'll have all the spiritual wine and storybooks you want, and you can lay hands on anyone you don't like.

Yan Hong: The liar's finally showing his true colors. You just want to abduct a spirit!

But Yan Hong took a look at what Dao Lingze had prepared for him: mountains of spirit stones, a buffet of spiritual materials, the golden spiritual energy of the metal element, as fine as vintage wine, and the highest-grade soul-life pact between a sword cultivator and a sword spirit!

Yan Hong: Deception? What deception? I agreed of my own free will. Brother Dao~ The contract's sealed, so you can't go after any other sword spirits.

Dao Lingze: Just as you say, Hong'er. No other sword cultivator is allowed to catch your eye.

Life after the "wedding" was so much fun.

Since getting together with Dao Lingze, everything from defeating powerful foes with a single sword strike, to commanding countless soldiers in a massive brawl, to collecting immortal artifacts and breaking into immortal mountains, was far more exciting than anything in a storybook.

But after the big battle, Yan Hong looked at the Heavenly Dao and the storybook's heroine, both tied up and brought before him, and was a little dumbfounded.

Dao Lingze: They bullied and humiliated you, and made you die with a false accusation in the book. Now the culprits are in your hands, Hong'er. How about killing them with one sword?

Yan Hong: Brother Dao, we don't need to take things this far...

Coming soon: The Young Alliance Leader Keeps Trying to Unmask Me

[Beautiful, powerful, tragic master of secret identities bottom x fiercely protective puppy-like top]

Gu Yuchao always knew that Shi Yinlie was one of the people from the Martial Alliance who had wiped out his family.

He knew when Shi Yinlie took a blow meant for him and blinded himself, when he saved Gu Yuchao's dying best friend, and even when he carried Gu Yuchao into their bridal chamber.

Gu Yuchao also knew that Shi Yinlie loved him more than anyone else in the world.

He knew when Shi Yinlie stole his family's treasures, when he lured Gu Yuchao into a trap, and even when he forced him to bare his neck and await execution.

But Gu Yuchao didn't know that

Shi Yinlie had confiscated the estates of the noble families who once tormented him and then disappeared, all to avenge him;

the rare treasures stolen from the imperial collection after being kept there for years had been taken by Shi Yinlie to please him;

the truth behind the tragedy that had been buried for over a decade, with no one daring to mention it, had been uncovered by Shi Yinlie at the risk of his life;

even the knife Gu Yuchao had driven into Shi Yinlie's heart when they were at death's door had been forged by Shi Yinlie himself for him.

What Gu Yuchao could not foresee was that, even with only a short time left to live, Shi Yinlie would still hold the blade and pull him into his arms.

His voice was always gentle with him: "Your vision still isn't very clear. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Theme: Break free of shackles and fight against adversity. Claim your own destiny.
