After Breaking the Love Gu with the Villain

Synopsis: In the tenth year of her union with Lu Yunzhi as cultivation partners, a sword through the heart shattered Chu Zheng’s illusion of happiness. The lover who had once cherished her above all else now looked at her with nothing but coldness. Only then did Chu Zheng learn that his unwavering devotion, his decision to turn away from evil—all of it had been caused by the love gu inside him. Now that the love gu had been removed, he hated her to the bone. He hated the humiliating memories of a life that had revolved around her. Worse still, saving her had cost him the woman he had truly loved. He destroyed her dantian, stripped her of her cultivation, and left her to be hunted by his enemies. In the end, Chu Zheng died on the day he married his true love, who had returned from the dead. When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the bond ceremony from her previous life. Chu Zheng was afraid. “I’ll help you remove the gu. After that, neither of us will owe the other anything.” In this life, all she wanted was to give Lu Yunzhi what he wanted and walk away unscathed. Lu Yunzhi had always believed that everything he felt for Chu Zheng came from the love gu. More than anything, he hated being controlled, hated having no choice—and hated… Chu Zheng. Only when the woman, disfigured beyond recognition, grew cold in his arms did all the love and hatred between them fall away. Yet the invincible Demon Venerable died at the hands of his own inner demon. Reborn on the day of their bond ceremony, he watched the woman whose eyes now held nothing but fear of him say that neither of them would owe the other anything. Lu Yunzhi thought he wanted the same. Then they would part on good terms, with nothing left between them. Until he saw Chu Zheng leave him without a moment’s hesitation and tell another man joyfully, “There’s nothing between him and me anymore.” He was her rightful fiancé, yet now he could only hide in the shadows. He crushed the cure for the gu in his bare hand, his gaze dark and obsessive. “A-Zheng, it seems my love gu can’t be removed anymore.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: After Breaking the Love Gu with the Villain — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
