Lu Yuezhou is a famously useless cultivator in the cultivation world. You could pick a random person off the street, and they'd have more talent for cultivation than him.
He's also terribly unlucky. His family was destroyed when he was young, and from then on he had to depend on his fiancée's family for a living. His fiancée, unfortunately, has a terrible temper. She's spoiled and willful, and thinks far too highly of herself.
Even after joining a sect, he can't escape being oppressed.
“Only that good-for-nothing could put up with her.”
“She'll only drink Heavenly Mountain Dew, and when you give her a gift, she won't even crack a smile.”
The new disciples had just heard about her infamous reputation.
Later, at the trial tournament, one of the junior disciples saw the senior sister everyone said treated people like dogs. She had bright eyes, pearly teeth, and breathtaking beauty.
Meanwhile, the senior brothers who had been badmouthing her seemed to have learned the art of changing faces. They were all vying for a handkerchief, treasuring it as if it were priceless.
“He'll only do things that embarrass you.”
“How could a good-for-nothing like him ever be worthy of you?”
“So what if he's gotten stronger? He'll only hold a grudge against you!”
The junior disciple could tell that the senior sister really did have a bad temper and couldn't stand her fiancé. You could even say she hated him.
But her fiancé loved her very much.
And a lot of people loved her.

[The fiancé is a good-for-nothing who awakens his powers, and he's the male lead. But the writing is closer to a multiple-love-interest story where the official pairing has already been decided.]
