My Husband Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness

“Obliviously seductive temptress X beautiful, powerful, tragic highland flower” Yu Huan transmigrates into a cultivation novel as the villainous Holy Maiden who doesn’t survive three chapters. In the book, the one who kills her is Xie Wulei, head of the Immortal Dynasty’s prison bureau and the cultivation world’s notorious living King of Hell, whose job is to take lives. Before her crimes are exposed, he already has her under strict surveillance. She cultivates, and he watches from the doorway. She sleeps, and he keeps guard by her bed. She goes shopping, and he follows behind her. Unexpectedly, the entire cultivation world gets the wrong idea about them and jointly impeaches him: “Who keeps watch over someone in bed? That’s clearly using surveillance as an excuse to take advantage! He’s ruined her good name, so he should marry her and take responsibility!” Yu Huan weighs the pros and cons. If they become cultivation partners, he can’t very well kill her. Besides, he cultivates the Way of Unfeeling and is so pure and abstinent that he definitely won’t touch her. She agrees at once: “Let’s form a bond and get married.” Pressured by public opinion to marry, Xie Wulei reluctantly nods. Then he produces a life-and-death pact and signs it: the kind of marriage contract that makes them share life and death and prevents them from ever parting. Beneath the rosy glow filling the sky, he smiles tenderly. “It’s too late to change your mind now.” Yu Huan: “...It’s fine. You cultivate the Way of Unfeeling, so all contracts are the same to you.” After that, Xie Wulei does indeed spare her. He even helps her eliminate every old enemy and clear the way ahead. Yu Huan is secretly delighted: The King of Hell has turned into a personal bodyguard. He can fight, he’s rich, and he’s celibate. Getting all this for free is amazing! Until, on the battlefield, the enemy deploys a killer move designed to counter the Way of Unfeeling, yet it has absolutely no effect on Xie Wulei. The enemy leader breaks down. “You bastard, you haven’t been cultivating the Way of Unfeeling at all?!” Yu Huan: “...?” - They say that the lofty judge of Baiyu Capital was once trapped by an illusion from a dream in his youth, unable to cultivate the Way of Unfeeling and becoming the laughingstock of his sect. Later, he ascended to the peak of the immortal path. Everyone said he had severed all his past delusions, and no one dared mention that old story again. He, too, believed that the rest of his life would be free of turbulence. Until, many years later The figure from the depths of his lingering dream stood alive beneath the jade steps, right before his eyes. 1. Both leads are devoted only to each other; happy ending.

When I first took Rong Jin in, he was just a boy in ragged clothes with clear, bright eyes. I gave him fine clothes and used him to test my medicine, but he thought it was a kindness. I fed him bone-gnawing poison and forced him to take aphrodisiacs that made him lose control, watching him sink again and again between desire and pain until he was utterly broken. After his dignity had been torn apart by the drugs again and again, he finally understood: I chose him only because his life was worthless, and no one would care if he died. Only after I was killed by the righteous cultivators did I learn that this was the world of a book, and that I was a vicious supporting villain who died early in the story. After my death, the boy whose dignity I had personally crushed became a world-destroying demon. He slaughtered the immortal sects and brought the cultivation world to its knees. In the end, he stood before my memorial tablet and said coolly: “I only regret... that I didn’t kill you with my own hands back then.” I was the most painful mark on his dark fate. The one who pushed him into the abyss. I was reborn, back on the night before I had made an irreconcilable enemy of him. Looking at the boy restrained by chains on the medicine-testing bed, I unlocked them. “Go. The farther you get from me, the better.” I thought he would run without looking back. But he said, “I have nowhere to go except here.” Softening, I let him stay, but forbade him from testing medicine again. Instead, I offered a huge reward to recruit a new test subject. In the end, a handsome man volunteered to test a love spell. Unexpectedly, on the night of the test, someone burst through the door. Rong Jin’s gaze was icy. He snatched the love spell and drove it straight into his own heart meridian. Then he seized my wrist and planted the other spell on me. “If we’re testing it, then test it with me.” Me: ? He stared straight at me, his voice low and indifferent. “You said... when testing medicine, you should find someone ‘cheap to kill and hard to break.’” “Who could possibly be... more suitable than me?” “You used to use only me.” Me: ?!! It turned out he had been reborn, too. - She would never know that, in that dark, suffocating alchemy room, every time he swallowed medicine, every time he struggled to preserve what little dignity he had left under her cold gaze all he ever thought about was the day he would make her repay everything she had done to him, with interest, inch by inch... For example, pinning her to this bed and letting her taste what it was like to be consumed by overwhelming desire and burning love. SC, happy ending, third-person narration. Theme: Survive against all odds.
