The World-Destroying Villain Can't Possibly Be My Ex-Husband

Cool, Aloof Saintess x Yandere Househusband

In the 300th year of Liansha,

Fu Yuan was the revered Saintess of the Immortal Palace. Unfortunately, she failed her tribulation, and her phoenix bones were burned away by heavenly lightning. The Wangshu Immortal Palace fell into decline along with her.

Then Fu Yuan was jilted by her fiancé. The woman who had once been the beloved moonlight of the Three Realms did something that sent shockwaves through the entire cultivation world:

At the Golden Crow Sacred Hall, Fu Yuan pointed at her fiancé's younger clan brother, her voice and expression icy. “Then I want him.”

Everyone said that Fu Yuan had been personally jilted by her childhood sweetheart, the young lord of Dong Sang, and had acted so disgracefully out of rage.

Ying Chenyu, the illegitimate son of Dong Sang, had a lowly birth and nothing but an exquisitely beautiful face. Fu Yan must have married him as a stand-in.

On their wedding day, Fu Yuan left her new husband behind to cultivate in seclusion. Her impression of Ying Chenyu was therefore no different from everyone else's in the cultivation world: weak, helpless, and too kind for his own good.

Whenever she emerged from seclusion, the white-robed youth, as pure as a jade bamboo, would bend down to gently brush the snow from her sleeves and smile tenderly at her. The pink at the corners of his eyes made him look like peach blossoms amid the snow.

“Your Highness, I've prepared medicinal food. Would you stay with me tonight?”

But Fu Yuan never once stayed with him.

In the 315th year of Liansha,

Fu Yuan emerged from seclusion and did something else that shook the cultivation world:

She imprisoned her former fiancé, the Sword Sovereign's chief disciple, and the young lord of the demon clan together in the Wangshu Immortal Palace. No one knew what she had done to them.

Later, the Saintess tossed her husband a divorce letter and went straight into the eight-thousand-mile Demonic Domain.

The heavenly tribulation had left her with an old injury, and she had little time left. She crossed over blood and bones, slaughtered every evil demon, and finally fell beneath the Demon Emperor's blade.

With the Saintess dead, the immortal sects all set their sights on the Wangshu Immortal Palace. The only one left was Ying Chenyu, her husband in name only, abandoned without title or status. He had a beautiful face but little cultivation.

Every sect and school rushed in, but before they could even set foot in the palace, the white-robed youth sat upon the Golden Throne and tapped the jade flute in his hand. A thousand enemies fell back, their blood splashing across the glazed steps.

Then the youth smiled. “Lick it clean.”

Only then did everyone learn that Ying Chenyu was no illegitimate son of Dong Sang. He was the Emperor's child, the peerless Crown Prince of the Ninth Heaven.

Cultivation world: Wait, with a background like yours, why would you need a stand-in?

In the 330th year of Liansha,

Fu Yuan's soul reformed and returned to the world. She learned two things:

First, after she died, her ex-husband Ying Chenyu went completely mad. He slaughtered his way through the twelve palaces of Bilu, then carved a bloody path through the eighteen halls of the Demonic Domain.

He abandoned his peerless position as Crown Prince, fell into demonic ways, and became the new Demon Emperor.

White bones were as pale as snow. The radiant young man of the past was no more.

Second, a fifteen-year-old girl had entered the Wangshu Immortal Palace and been confirmed as Fu Yuan's daughter.

The cultivation world was in an uproar: Wait, who is this child's father?

Fu Yuan was just as confused. She had never been pregnant.

Then the Demon Emperor, the Lord of Dong Sang, the Sword Sovereign, and the Demon King all claimed to be the child's father.

Fu Yuan: ???

P.S. 1. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. The male lead gave birth to the child. It's a nontraditional birth, a Yaochi lotus womb, but the child is biologically related to him. I just want to write a househusband dad. A yandere, cruel widower raising a child is so delicious. "Fidgets with fingers.jpg"

3. The male lead is a yandere with little regard for morality. He acts innocent and weak in front of the heroine, then smiles as he stabs people in the back. He's had a crush on her for ages. When she imprisoned her former fiancé and the others, he was the one who dealt with everyone trying to storm the palace, all while wearing a sour expression. He loves her so much.
