My Husband, Who Cultivates the Heartless Dao, Regrets It

My upcoming novel, After Turning the Untouchable One into a Cultivation Cauldron, is open for follows. The blurb is at the very bottom~

[Groveling Chase] [Love and Hatred]

"She could have killed me, but she didn't. She loves me."

Fake lovesick, truly heartless heroine x Fake heartless cultivator, truly broken male lead

Meng Chiwan is one of the most ordinary people in the mortal world. Like countless others, she wants to cultivate immortality and escape the bitter sea of mortal life.

It is only after she finds Yun Xianqing on the brink of death that she finally gains an immortal connection, an opportunity to escape that bitter sea.

But the price is being cast out by her family and left homeless. She can only move with Yun Xianqing into a haunted house with cheap rent, where she listens to ghosts tell tales of injustice and resentment.

From then on, Yun Xianqing patiently guides her into cultivation and through foundation building, teaching her techniques she has never seen before.

He says, "Fate is an illusion. Since you saved me, I will be your immortal connection."

Back then, she truly believed every hardship in the world had an end, and that she had found her dreamlike heaven on earth.

Later, Yun Xianqing says he wants to marry her, so she puts on the red veil, filled with anticipation as she waits for her beloved to lift it and for their wedding night to begin.

She thinks it would be fine to spend the rest of her life this way, quietly and properly as his wife.

Until a long sword pierces her heart.

Yun Xianqing's hands rest on the edge of her veil. Even as she dies, he never lifts it.

At last she understands: Yun Xianqing has never loved her. She was only a tool for his path to enlightenment.

Everything they shared was nothing but an utter deception, a heaven on earth that was no more than flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon's reflection in water.

Fortunately, she doesn't quite die.

When she wakes again, she is standing at the foot of an immortal sect, all the love in her heart turned into bitter sorrow and resentment.

She casts aside every happy memory and forces herself to stop thinking about the man she never got to marry.

She remembers only that she still has a debt of vengeance to settle and resentment to avenge. Both bear the name Yun Xianqing.

She has no parents, relatives, or friends in this world. Only two things drive her to keep living.

First, she has yet to see a real heaven on earth.

Second, Yun Xianqing has yet to experience a real hell.

Bonus scene:

Later, she watches coldly as he repeatedly tests the waters from rock bottom, using every means imaginable to beg her to stay.

In the dead of night, rain pours down. Yun Xianqing is soaked to the waist, nothing like the immaculate immortal lord he once was.

He holds an umbrella over her, but even the mist cannot conceal the madness in his eyes.

He begs her to love him. Even if she is only using him, even if he is only a substitute, he begs her not to abandon him.

She only smiles with distant indifference and slowly pushes the tip of her sword into his heart. "What love or hatred could there be between me and the Immortal Lord? You have merely done me a kindness.

Thank you, Immortal Lord... for being the only immortal connection on my open and honest path to immortality."

Reader's guide:

1. The male lead is genuinely unhinged and broken.

2. A tale of bitter love and hatred, with outrageous melodrama. If that's not your thing, please don't read.

3. The heroine grows over time. She's ordinary at first and becomes stronger later, but she's neither an overpowered heroine nor a perfect person.

4. My writing is limited. Sorry if that affects your enjoyment.

5. There are a few household-drama scenes early on, but they end quickly.

6. My own take on cultivation, with heaps of original worldbuilding.

Upcoming novel: After Turning the Untouchable One into a Cultivation Cauldron

If you're interested, please add it to your follows.

Blurb below.

Song Wanting has always been proper and well-behaved, wearing a gentle, respectful smile in front of everyone.

Everyone thinks she would never do anything outrageous.

Yet this very girl, as docile as a soft-eared rabbit, uses every means at her disposal to make the Sword Dao champion take an aphrodisiac, then watches with a smile as he sinks into a sea of desire.

The first time Song Wanting meets Wen Jingyi is at her apprenticeship ceremony.

Wen Jingyi stands on the high platform, aloof and proud, as if nothing in the world can catch his eye, including her, Song Wanting.

She thinks, so this is the Sword Dao champion who supposedly brought a century of peace and prosperity with a single strike. He truly is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Later, she is trapped and uses the last of her strength to write a letter before she dies. The snow and wind suddenly stop. She looks up and sees Wen Jingyi again.

He saves her as a matter of course.

It's the first time she really looks at him. He is like snow on a lonely peak, his calm expression always touched with indifference and distance.

She suddenly finds something to enjoy.

She wants his eyes to hold nothing but her from now on.

But no matter how she pursues him, even when she pretends to plead with tears in her eyes, Wen Jingyi never wavers in the slightest.

Until one day, Wen Jingyi briefly loses all his cultivation and wakes in an unfamiliar cave dwelling.

Song Wanting loses patience. She imprisons him, carves a charm mark into him, and makes him call her Master beneath his icy gaze, tormenting him in every way.

"I'm sorry. I just like you too much."

*

A new group of inner sect disciples joins the sect, and Wen Jingyi is expected to attend.

Bored, he glances down and spots a young woman with exceptional spiritual roots among them.

She looks very well-behaved, bowing properly. Even her smile is neither too broad nor too faint, making her seem harmless and dull.

Someone like her is best suited to become a powerful cultivator and bring peace to the four corners of the world.

He barely spares her a glance before leaving.

Little does he know that later, the two of them will cross paths again and again.

Nor does he know that she will personally drag him down from his high platform and carve into him the charm mark reserved for those who submit in forbidden games, turning him into her cultivation cauldron.

The first to lose control is none other than him.

He actually finds himself stirred by the desire and longing he feels in response to her mad, brazen love.

He should hate her with all his heart, but he craves her warmth and longs for her love.

But later, when the truth comes out, Song Wanting quickly extricates herself and never looks at him again.

*

The next time he sees Wen Jingyi is at her wedding to her new husband. Red silk billows, and music and drums fill the air.

As the crowd urges them on, she closes her eyes and waits for her new husband to kiss her. But even after a long while, no kiss comes.

She opens her eyes.

Silence all around.

Wen Jingyi gazes at her from nearby with a smile, mockery and murderous intent surging in his eyes.

This former Sword Dao champion points the sword that once cut down every demon and evil spirit in the world at her new husband.

The charm mark that should have faded from his body spreads from his neck.

"Are you going to let him join us, Master?"

Innocent and cruel x aloof and untouchable
