An energetic, down-to-earth sunshine heroine x a brooding, deranged yandere hero
Melodrama | Both chaste | A love doomed by hatred | Coercive pursuit | You stab me, I stab you | A forced match is still sweet
Xu Qingxiao transmigrates into a cultivation novel where the strong prey on the weak. She has mediocre aptitude and no talent for cultivation, and assumes she’s doomed to die in this world. But on the road, she meets a handsome sword cultivator with formidable magic. Xu Qingxiao clumsily tries to win him over, hoping only to stay alive a few more days.
Perhaps by Heaven’s grace, one day the cultivator proposes to her. Xu Qingxiao happily accepts at once.
After they marry, Wenren Su treats her well, taking her to admire flowers in spring and snow in winter. Xu Qingxiao thinks she and Wenren Su will live a quiet, peaceful life together, in perfect harmony.
Until one day, she learns that Wenren Su cultivates the Heartless Way.
Amid endless snow, his snow-white sword pierces her chest. Wenren Su is no longer the gentle man he used to be. He gazes at her with cold eyes, and his words are as sharp as a blade: “I married you only to ascend to immortality.”
Xu Qingxiao closes her eyes. Scalding tears fall with her blood onto the white snow.
In an instant, her soul is scattered, and Xu Qingxiao is no more.
*
Many years later, Xu Qingxiao is reborn.
This time, she is lucky enough to have spiritual roots and successfully enters an immortal sect to cultivate.
Only then does she hear that her former husband, Wenren Su, who should have ascended long ago, has instead become a great demon lord capable of destroying heaven and earth.
In a dim room, Xu Qingxiao’s arms are locked in place as her former husband gently strokes her cheek, his voice softly deranged. “A Xiao, you’re so cruel. You’ve only come back to me now.”
*
They say that True Lord Lisu, Wenren Su, betrayed the immortal path and turned the world upside down, from the celestial realm to the underworld, all to bring his wife back to life.
