Opening My Cultivator Partner's Strategy Journal

Qiu Qiu always thought she was lucky.

Though she had been frail since childhood, with a withered spiritual root and a family that looked down on her, her half-demon betrothed had always kept his demonic nature in check and cared for her attentively. Everyone praised the young lord of Liu Zhu for severing ties with his family and rejecting his demonic blood, all for the sake of the young lady of the Luo family and his decision to embrace the righteous path.

The cultivators praised him: "Even a demon born evil has a heart, and can turn over a new leaf for the one they love."

Qiu Qiu agreed wholeheartedly. Though Liu Zhu occasionally had little fits of cruelty, he treated her very well. Even a married couple has to put up with each other's little flaws.

There was still more than a month until their union ceremony. Qiu Qiu secretly put on the wedding dress her family had made for her long ago. While Liu Zhu was out, she went to his room to wait and show it to him when he returned.

The wedding dress's long, gilt-feather sleeves were cumbersome. As she looked in the mirror, Qiu Qiu accidentally knocked a half-open book off the table.

She picked it up and hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist opening it.

[15th, morning]

She's being clingy again. Disgusting, but I have to kiss her for the mission.

[29th, noon]

She cried after we were intimate. Why pretend to be so delicate? The people who cried to me before didn't even leave scraps of bone behind. But her affection score went up again. Almost there.

[8th, night]

A union ceremony? What a joke. I'm a demon. She should be grateful I haven't killed her after all this time. ...Forget it, I'll get it over with soon. Once I get the Heavenly Demon Bone back in a few days, I'll kill her.

"..."

The diary fell to the ground, and Qiu Qiu remembered things that did not belong to this world.

So her betrothed was a conqueror.

And she did not belong to this world either. That was why she was frail and sickly, with a withered spiritual root.

On the eve of her wedding, Qiu Qiu broke the spiritual bone bearing her betrothal contract,

destroyed her immortal roots, and fled to the Demon Realm, hiding her identity and scraping by as a lowly demon.

A weak demon with a damaged spiritual foundation could not survive in the Demon Realm.

Fortunately, a handsome young demon lord gave her a place to stay, then gazed at her with shining eyes and asked her to marry him.

Looking at the young demon lord, Qiu Qiu remembered arriving in the Demon Realm and kneeling on the ground to beg a beast for food. Then she thought of the young lord's magnificent palace and said yes.

On the day of their wedding, the sky was dark and heavy with clouds.

The young demon lord wore his new clothes elegantly, his eyes filled with laughter. Just as he lifted Qiu Qiu's veil, a dazzling flash of snowy light severed one of his finger bones.

He stared in terror as the newly risen Demon Venerable, clad in billowing purple, approached with a smile. The Demon Venerable did not look at him, but stepped forward and lifted the bride's red veil.

"Qiu Qiu, have you forgotten? We still have a ceremony of our own to hold."
