How Did I Go from a Dragon-Proud Protagonist to a Sweet Husband?!

Ling Renchen, young sect master of the world's number one sect, the Zhentian Sect, is a once-in-a-generation talent: handsome, exceptionally gifted, and an undisputed young peerless protagonist.

For eighteen years, he devoted himself to cultivation, ignoring worldly affairs and remaining detached from the world, all so he could reach the Imperial Venerable realm as soon as possible.

He had a fiancee, a heaven-favored prodigy even as a child, whose talent surpassed Ling Renchen's. Their families had arranged their marriage when they were young.

Unfortunately, fate was cruel to the gifted. Five years ago, his fiancee's cultivation had stalled. She became a good-for-nothing, wasting resources and earning everyone's scorn and contempt.

With the wedding date approaching, the clan members refused to welcome such a good-for-nothing as their sect master's wife. They hauled Ling Renchen out of meditation and made a grand, humiliating spectacle of breaking off the engagement at his fiancee's older sister's home.

Ling Renchen, who had spent years in seclusion cultivating and detached from worldly affairs, was stunned.

He looked at the girl before him, her face full of humiliation and restraint. Her beautiful eyes blazed like fire. Though slender, she stood proud and unbowed, as if she could tower over the world.

The two families looked at her with contempt and mockery, but she remained composed and unyielding. Flames seemed to rise behind her, ready to burn everything to ash.

Her voice rang clear and firm.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't look down on a young, "

Suddenly, a string snapped in Ling Renchen's mind.

A stabbing pain flared in his subconscious, as if warning him that if he broke off the engagement now, he would suffer terribly in the future.

And his fiancee, currently a good-for-nothing, would have an unlimited future, rise to prominence, reign arrogantly over the world, and eventually wipe the Zhentian Sect off the map with a casual wave of her hand.

So the usually aloof and dignified young sect master of the Zhentian Sect suddenly stepped forward. Under the astonished gazes of his clan members, he wrapped his arms around his fiancee, shielding her from their mocking eyes. His voice rang out just as firmly.

"I'm not breaking off the engagement! I'll marry no one but her!"

The whole place fell silent.

As the girl stared at him in shock and confusion, the young sect master looked at her again, his eyes pleading and pitiful, his voice hoarse.

"I'm willing to marry you, big sister, even as a concubine."

The young sect master of the Zhentian Sect, once hailed as the greatest young talent and famed for leaving everyone in awe, had gone mad.

Though he didn't know what a peerless protagonist was, before meeting his fiancee's older sister, Ling Renchen had thought that improving his cultivation and becoming one was the most important thing.

Now, though, the most important thing was clinging to his peerless-protagonist wife's leg.

So the young sect master who was supposed to become a peerless protagonist turned into a dutiful, doting husband. First he beat up the clansmen who wanted to break off the engagement, then he kicked the enemies who bullied his fiancee's older sister, all to earn a look of approval and praise from her.

Though his fiancee's older sister was startled and guarded, his actions managed to bring a rare smile to her face.

...She was so beautiful.

Just as he predicted, his fiancee's older sister grew stronger and stronger, her cultivation ever deeper and her experience ever richer. It was only a matter of time before she became the world's foremost Imperial Venerable.

The young sect master, happily making heart-eyed faces at her side, suddenly held his breath. He had the feeling that he'd forgotten something.

What was it?

...Something about a little doctor immortal, a demon lord, and a childhood friend who would all come after his fiancee's older sister.

The young sect master's face turned cold and his mood darkened. Seeing all kinds of handsome men draw close to his fiancee's older sister on their adventures, he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Don't do it, don't try to seduce my wife!

"I'm willing to marry you, big sister, even as a concubine."

The young sect master looked sternly at his fiancee's older sister and told her he wanted to take back what he'd said.

His fiancee's older sister's expression shifted. Her gaze grew dark and gloomy as she suddenly pinned him against the wall, gripping his chin viciously. Her peerlessly beautiful face was icy as she said, "Say that again."

Although his fiancee's older sister, pinning him down right now, was so beautiful he could barely resist kissing her and becoming her dog, the young sect master still had principles and pride.

His expression was stern, his handsome face full of righteous conviction, his voice hoarse and low.

"I don't want to be a concubine anymore."

"...I want to be your proper husband, dear big sister."

His fiancee's older sister: ...You already are, aren't you?

1. A sweet, imaginative BG romance, both virgins, one-on-one, mutual love. More of the male lead's perspective in the first half and more of the female lead's in the second. The male lead doesn't transmigrate; he just has a vague awareness of the good-for-nothing protagonist trope.

2. A standard cultivation fantasy world with a typical peerless-protagonist leveling-up plot. The leads' dynamic is a strong woman and a weaker man, with a strong man and an even stronger woman. The female lead is the strongest in the world, and the male lead is stronger than the male supporting characters who want to seduce her.

3. The female lead is a top-tier peerless protagonist who will gradually grow stronger.

4. An arrogant, aloof, world-dominating female lead × a seemingly dignified and indifferent male god who is actually an eccentric, doting husband.

5. The female lead is one or two years younger than the male lead, but he calls her "dear big sister" and acts like her good little dog.

6. A very sweet couple.

7. Includes competition between men. The young sect master will get into fights with other men who want to seduce the female lead, acting like a scheming white lotus. He'll even compete with the male supporting characters over whose abs can crack walnuts... There will be lots and lots of descriptions of him gazing adoringly at his precious girl. The young sect master is a devoted, doting husband, probably saying "wife, wife, wife" all day.
