[A troublemaking, laid-back beauty bottom x a B-king, workaholic, overpowered protagonist top]
Ji Qingwu transmigrates into a book and becomes the vicious cannon-fodder husband who causes trouble left and right, only to die horribly at the hands of the book's overpowered male lead.
When he arrives, his foot is planted on Xie Yunche's chest.
Is it too late to get down on my knees and shout, "My husband is mighty and wise"?
Fortunately, the System gives him the "Copycat Technique," which lets him mooch half of anyone's abilities for free.
The original owner was a good-for-nothing, but his husband is an overpowered protagonist!
From then on, Ji Qingwu happily mooches abilities, mastering sword flight, sword arts, and spells alike. Even without a spiritual root, he can put on a convincing act of profound mastery.
There's just one bug: every time he uses it, it drains his husband's spiritual energy.
-
Xie Yunche is reborn.
In his previous life, his fortune was stolen, reducing him from the protagonist to a supporting character, and he met a tragic end. This time, he should have watched coldly from the sidelines and dealt with the vicious little menace by his side first.
But his troublesome little wife suddenly seems like a different person. He calls him "husband" in a soft voice, curls up in his arms and says he's cold, and even brings him tea and water while he practices.
He sneers: I'll see what you're plotting.
He waits for Ji Qingwu to slip up, but the first one to lose his composure is his own spiritual energy.
-
One day, Xie Yunche practices cultivating his mind alone on an icy lake. The next moment, his spiritual energy vanishes, and he plummets straight into the heart of the lake.
His disciples cry out, "Senior Brother!"
He rises from the water, his robes dripping, and lifts his chin. "My sword heart has made some progress through the cold pool."
At the sect tournament, Xie Yunche takes the stage with his sword, and all the disciples watch in anticipation. But before he can even draw his sword, three-tenths of his spiritual energy inexplicably evaporates.
His opponent cries tears of gratitude. "Senior Brother Xie showed such mercy!"
Xie Yunche's face turns green. "...That was not intentional."
Meanwhile, after using half a sword technique to scare his opponent off the stage in the Qi Refining group, Ji Qingwu turns around and hears the System announce, "Host, your husband almost lost just now."
Ji Qingwu: "?"
Oh no, I've gone too far.
-
Xie Yunche discovers that after his spiritual energy is drained, there's a way to get it back, with interest.
For example, by pressing their skin together, by mingling their breaths, or by personally holding Ji Qingwu by the wrist and feeding spiritual energy into him bit by bit.
"I'm done cultivating..."
After a few rounds, the good-for-nothing body that had once been utterly barren somehow gains a little spiritual energy.
His eyes light up, and he pulls the person trying to escape back into his arms. "Wife, the path of cultivation rewards perseverance."
