[Sickly beauty, flirtatious bottom x villainous archdemon top who only has eyes for his beloved]
Feng Xiao was the sect's beloved junior disciple. On his wedding day, he unexpectedly awakened to the truth.
It turned out he was a cannon-fodder character in a book. The protagonist treated him well and married him because he saw Feng Xiao as a stand-in for the one he had always loved. In the end, Feng Xiao would be tortured to death.
The truth came so suddenly that Feng Xiao stared blankly at the nuptial wine in his hands.
Xie Shujun smiled as usual and drew him into his arms.
Feng Xiao didn't resist the embrace, but ran away in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately, his spiritual power was so weak he couldn't even make it out of the mountain gate before Xie Shujun caught him.
"Where are you going, my wife?"
Feng Xiao pointed up at the sky. "The weather's nice today, and the night sky is beautiful. I wanted to watch it with... my husband."
To his surprise, Xie Shujun actually sat down and watched the stars with him all night.
Feng Xiao spent the whole night in the wind, came down with a high fever, and passed out. Xie Shujun carried him back to their room and tended to him as he lay in bed. A thought came to Feng Xiao:
Either way, I'm going to die. I can't run, so I might as well lie flat.

After they married, Xie Shujun granted Feng Xiao every wish. He regularly made him nourishing soups with rare treasures, tended to his health, and even personally helped him with little things like putting on his socks. His temper was remarkably good.
Then one day, several black-clad men covered in demonic energy appeared in the courtyard. Xie Shujun chopped off their heads as easily as if he were slicing vegetables. Blood splattered everywhere, yet his robes remained pristine.
Feng Xiao witnessed everything from the kitchen. Terrified, he burst into tears and returned to their room with red eyes.
Xie Shujun used the same hand that had just killed people to pat his head.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Xiao hunched his shoulders and shook his head frantically. "Nothing. I was cutting onions earlier, and they made my eyes water."

The next day, the greatest immortal sect was wiped out overnight. Xie Shujun came home carrying the precious sword Feng Xiao had casually mentioned.
Realizing that so many people had died because of something he had said, Feng Xiao's fingertips went cold. He turned away with tears in his eyes.
Xie Shujun's expression immediately turned cold. His large hand clamped around Feng Xiao's chin, forcing him to meet his gaze. "Didn't you already know what kind of person I am?"
