Is It True That Cultivating the Heartless Way Gets You a Wife?

The top has been cultivating for years, but he's still single.

By looks, he's as refined as moonlight on a clear night; by talent, he outshines the prodigies of his generation.

Unfortunately, after all these years, he's still a virgin with no wife.

Wasn't he promised that once he made enough progress in cultivation, he'd be assigned a wife?

After agonizing over it for days without finding an answer, he asked around, only to be told:

"What? You want to know which path of cultivation gets you assigned a wife? Obviously, the Path of Ruthlessness!"

The top saw the light and switched to cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness.

But his talent was so exceptional that his cultivation raced ahead of everyone else's, and his fearsome reputation grew even greater.

Forget getting a wife. Now everyone kept their distance from him.

The top, desperate for a cultivation partner:

"You son of a bitch, you lied to me."

In a rage, he sat down to meditate and kept cultivating until he became invincible.

After inexplicably claiming the throne as the greatest cultivator in the world, he really did end up finding a wife!

His wife was pitifully sweet and adorable, innocent and naive when he found him.

He blinked his clear, beautiful doe eyes and timidly asked, "Are you the person I'm supposed to go on a blind date with?"

The top, whose heart had been set ablaze after years of loneliness, was ecstatic. Without a second thought, he took someone else's place and pretended to be a gentleman every day so he wouldn't give himself away.

But someone had been whispering in his wife's ear, and his wife seemed to be catching on to the truth and growing afraid of him.

Why be afraid of him? Why want to leave?

Since he'd been found out, he might as well embrace the darkness.

He was the greatest cultivator in the world. Of course his wife couldn't escape. :)

Bottom's POV:

The bottom always thought the top was a helpless little thing, too weak to fend for himself.

Until one day, he discovered that the top was a genuine, unpredictable, unhinged pervert with all sorts of unspeakable secrets...

He watched the top smile as he killed everyone, just because an enemy had said, "You and your wife will never have a happy ending!"

Even though they were already together, the top still stole his private things, spied on him, stalked him, and gave every person who got close to him the same icy glare.

Every day, in the shadows where the bottom couldn't see, he crawled around in a twisted, dark frenzy, using all kinds of evil spells to pray that they'd be together forever.

Then the next morning, he cheerfully greeted the bottom as if nothing had happened: "Good morning, wife!"

Bottom: ...

He's such a pervert QAQ. Run away!

Thesis: Beyond the lies lies an endless love.
