The Villain Went Mad After the Hero's Wife Died

Ye Shu lost her memory.

She only knew she was someone who had transmigrated into a book, but had forgotten who she'd become and what she'd been through after transmigrating.

She was also badly injured.

Fortunately, her husband was there to care for her devotedly.

Her husband was just an ordinary, impoverished doctor, too weak to hurt a fly.

But he was refined, handsome, gentle, and considerate.

Though she'd forgotten him, she couldn't help feeling glad she'd chosen so well.

Their bond grew stronger with every passing day.

Until one day.

Ye Shu regained her memories.

Only then did she learn that she was the male lead's doomed, deceased first love, the white moonlight of the original story.

*

In the original novel, the white moonlight and the male lead were childhood sweethearts whose love was unbreakable.

But on their wedding night, the villain slaughtered everyone at the ceremony.

The white moonlight died alongside the villain while saving the male lead.

However, neither the white moonlight nor the villain actually died.

After bringing the white moonlight back to life, the villain used dark magic to control her, making her forget who she was. They posed as husband and wife, and he made her see the male lead as her sworn enemy.

Through the villain's schemes, the male lead killed the white moonlight with his own hands and was consumed by inner demons as a result.

Fortunately, he met the heroine, who stood by him through everything. In the end, he overcame his inner demons, killed the villain, and saved the world.

Ye Shu looked at the fake husband, who was really the villain, as he fastened a heart-protecting mirror to her chest and told her never to take it off, no matter what.

Heh.

A few days later, Ye Shu followed the plot: she took a sword meant for the male lead, jumped into the Soul-Devouring Abyss, teeming with evil wyrms, then removed the mirror, smashed it, and obediently logged out.

A hundred years later, Ye Shu emerged from seclusion.

According to the original timeline, the male lead should have long since overcome his inner demons, killed the villain, married his beloved, saved the world, and achieved the Great Dao. The story should have had a happy ending.

Instead, she discovered that the plot had gone so far off the rails that even its own mother wouldn't recognize it.

During the great battle back then, the male lead had indeed succumbed to demonic influence.

But so had her fake husband, the real villain.

Afterward, the male lead overcame his inner demons, just as the book said.

The villain, however, had gone completely mad. To this day, the male lead still hadn't managed to kill him, and the entire cultivation world lived in his shadow.

Because he had declared, “I will destroy the entire cultivation world and have it buried with my dead wife.”
