I Stabbed My Ex-Husband Three Times to Prove My Dao

Bai Xu failed her ascension again.

She pinched her hair, which had crumbled into black ash, and sat numbly in front of the Heavenly Gate.

"Tell me, what was it this time?"

The Heavenly Gate answered evenly, "Your mortal ties remain unsevered."

Bai Xu could no longer hold back. "I've stabbed my ex-husband to death twice already!"

The Heavenly Gate replied, "Last time, you didn't love him. This time, he doesn't love you. Killing your husband to attain the Dao doesn't count as success."

Bai Xu's eyes widened.

What? How dare that damned Wen Tingchen not love her!

Fuming, Bai Xu went to find her ex-husband's reincarnation. At the time, his damaged spiritual root had made him the target of ridicule during Kunlun's disciple assessment.

The elders and sect leader of Kunlun had been sitting high above in the clouds, but suddenly an overwhelming pressure hurled them to the ground in a heap. They were about to get up and bow when they saw an unknown powerful cultivator grab the useless disciple by the collar, her eyes full of grievance.

"Tell me, why don't you love me?"

Everyone: !!! What is this? A powerful, domineering cultivator's unrequited love, straight out of a melodramatic romance!

*

For the next ten years, Bai Xu travels across the cultivation world with Wen Tingchen, searching for sacred medicines to repair his spiritual root and taking him into secret realms and ancient tombs.

Before long, an unwritten rule takes hold across the cultivation world: any magical treasure or fortuitous opportunity must first be offered to Wen Tingchen to choose from, lest Bai Xu come knocking.

"Do you love me today?"

"Maybe tomorrow."

Day after day, until one day, Wen Tingchen finally admits:

"I love you."

Bai Xu raises her sword.
