Also known as Bone-Deep Devotion

An enemy is an enemy. How could an enemy ever become a husband?

A cold, unfeeling, clueless heroine X a delicate, flirtatious hero

Cong Mo X Leng Can

The Path of Ruthlessness has always been notoriously difficult to cultivate. In all these years, only one Daoist priest managed to succeed, and not until he was nearly sixty!

Cong Mo's parents had failed to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. They loved each other and had the heroine, but they also pinned all their hopes on her.

So Cong Mo dreamed from childhood of cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness. Unfortunately, there was an archrival in her village who had competed with her since they were little,

in scholarship, martial arts, and spirit taming.

Of course, Cong Mo just thought he was a sore loser and paid him little mind.

But her rival grew more and more outrageous.

After they went up the mountain to cultivate, he even started down the wrong path, trying to seduce her so she would fail to master the Path of Ruthlessness.

1.

Cong Mo practices swordsmanship.

Leng Can, putting on an affected air: "Sister, your sword is so fierce. I wonder how it would feel to use it on me."

Cong Mo: "...All right."

That night, Cong Mo forced Leng Can to practice swordsmanship all night.

Cong Mo enters seclusion.

Leng Can, with his clothes half undone: "It's so boring in here. Let me keep you company and have some fun, Sister."

Cong Mo: "...All right."

Leng Can was forced to seal his spiritual sense and accompany Cong Mo in seclusion for a month. When they emerged, not only had his cultivation greatly improved, his skin had also become even more delicate.

Cong Mo's spiritual power reached a bottleneck, and she asked him to practice dual cultivation with her to improve it.

He agreed at once, but was so nervous that he failed every time. In the end, she had to take him by force. He finally plucked up the courage to ask why she wanted to practice dual cultivation. He had thought it was because she had fallen for him, but it turned out she only wanted to advance her cultivation.

He was furious. He was helpless.

Leng Can: "Could it be that I've been doing it wrong!"

Leng Can: "You heartless, faithless woman! I, this young master, am done! I'm running away. Who needs you anyway!"

But when Cong Mo was struck by heavenly lightning and fell off a cliff, he was the one who stayed beside her corpse for a hundred years.

Leng Can: "Wake up. I won't stop you from cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness anymore."

2.

Cong Mo had faked her death by possessing an orange cat. After finally finding a way to return to her body, she weakly opened her eyes and saw that Leng Can's once dewy skin had developed fine lines. She softly replied, "I promise."

Leng Can: "..."

In the end, at the highest point of the Heavenly Altar, she became only the second person ever to master the Path of Ruthlessness. But no one knew who the man leaning on her shoulder, dozing off and disregarding the rules of the clan, was there for.

Content warnings:

Romance and plot each make up 50%.

The heroine is bad at human relationships. She understands right and wrong when it comes to men and women, but has no physical inhibitions.

Both are devoted to each other + a strong couple (the hero is forced to become strong)

Jiang Zheng X Ling Yi

Jiang Zheng is the second daughter of the Jiang family. Her elder sister excels at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, while her younger sister is adorable and mischievous. Stuck in the middle, Jiang Zheng has no particular talents, and spends every day figuring out how to trick more silver out of her parents and save it for her retirement.

With money in hand, life is comfortable.

But the world refused to let her have her way. Her eldest brother's new wife was beautiful and virtuous, and quickly won the affection of the whole family. The little concern they had left for Jiang Zheng vanished completely, and she became invisible in her own home.

Jiang Zheng grew jealous. Jiang Zheng went mad. Jiang Zheng changed her ways and did every bad thing imaginable: she berated her elder sister, beat up her younger brother, and ultimately framed her sister-in-law, causing her to lose her baby. Her family despised her.

So she decided to pay someone off, fake her death, and run for her life. Before she went, she still had to get one last dig in at her archenemy.

"You..." Ling Yi's usually cold, merciless face flushed red. "...Kiss me."

That should do the trick.

Jiang Zheng spat out a mouthful of tomato juice and raised a hand to touch his face. "Pfft... The truth is, I've always..."

She didn't finish the sentence before closing her eyes.

No matter how much Ling Yi called to her, she wouldn't open them. Naturally, she never saw the deep sorrow in his eyes.

Three years later, Jiang Zheng was lounging in the sun and drinking watermelon juice when an old man came over to ask for directions. "Excuse me, do you know where I can buy tomatoes?"

Without even opening her eyes, Jiang Zheng said, "I'm a farmer, not a merchant."

"Is that so? But I seem to remember you sold tomato-flavored blood here three years ago."

"Huh?" Jiang Zheng tumbled off her wooden chair. The straw hat on her head fell to the ground. Head bowed, she trembled all over. "Y-you've got the wrong person."

"Is that so? I never said who I was looking for." Ling Yi lifted her chin. "Jiang Zheng, you've been dead for three years. Won't you invite me in?"

Both devoted to each other + forced possession + the hero pursues the heroine after she leaves him + faked death

Content warnings:

The heroine is wicked but cowardly, and she has her own principles when it comes to doing bad things. Her motto is: If I can't take you down, I'll at least get under your skin before I die.

Theme: Seek your true self, and never give up.
