Tianying Sect and the Wuwang Palace are the two most renowned immortal sects in the world. Later, after a childhood-sweetheart marriage that caused a sensation across the Six Realms, they grew as close as family.
...Though that isn’t quite accurate.
At least Ning Qingge herself doesn’t believe Huan Qi married her entirely of his own free will.
Ning Qingge, the Wuwang Palace’s senior sister, was born with tender eyes and compassionate brows, and a red beauty mark between them. She cultivated a transcendent Buddhist nature, merciful to all living things like a bodhisattva.
Huan Qi, sect master of Tianying, had a sharp-boned face, swordlike brows, and bright eyes. A mocking smile often played on his lips, and he always seemed to regard other people with three parts impatience, as if he couldn’t be bothered to show them any kindness.
Yet that insufferable air had never earned him a proper beating, because no one in their right mind would attack the unrivaled sword cultivator whose strength had no known limit.
As a transmigrated soul from another world, and the most feared person in this xianxia world, Ning Qingge would be even less foolish than to go looking for a death wish.
They spent decades in a lukewarm marriage of convenience, barely acknowledging each other. When the war between gods and demons finally ended in a complete victory for the righteous path, the Six Realms were astonished to discover that the untouchable god of war and sect master had...
He had been cuckolded!!!
Senior Sister Ning, who had always been detached from worldly matters, free of earthly desires, and secluded from the world, went mad trying to protect the Demon Venerable who had plunged the world into chaos. She even nourished his body with her purest blood and waited by his ice coffin every day for him to wake.
Tianying Sect was dumbstruck, Wuwang Palace held its breath, and the Six Realms got their snacks, tea, and little stools ready for the show.
Caught between two impossible choices, Ning Qingge racked her brains and finally summoned the courage to offer to destroy her own cultivation and be expelled from Wuwang Palace in exchange for a divorce from Huan Qi.
She never imagined her husband of convenience would react so strongly. He spat out a mouthful of blood, then blasted the mountain where he had been in seclusion into rubble with a single palm strike...
“Be a good girl.” Blood stained the corner of his mouth, and his phoenix eyes tilted upward. He looked even more like a demon than the Demon Venerable himself.
“Stay by my side forever...”
“Or die with me.”
