Lu Shuyao transmigrated into a “divorce-retribution” cultivation novel as a villain of the same name. To return to his original world safely, he must survive until the male lead completes his counterattack.
In the original book, it was Lu Shuyao who pushed the male lead, Su Cheyue, into the Purgatory of Evil Ghosts, causing him to lose his five senses and leaving him crippled and paralyzed. According to the original ending, Lu Shuyao is supposed to be tortured by Su Cheyue until he is neither human nor ghost—wishing for death but unable to find it.
To survive, he must lower the male lead’s “Hatred Value” so that Su Cheyue won’t kill him once he regains his power. Thus, the straight-as-an-arrow Lu Shuyao takes a desperate gamble: he marries the male lead in place of the original bride and uses every ounce of his “people-pleasing” skills.
-
He showers the male lead with warmth and concern.
-
He provides meticulous care while living under the same roof.
-
He supports the crippled male lead’s “career” of saving others.
Under his relentless efforts, the Hatred Value triggers a “landslide” just as he hoped. When Su Cheyue’s cultivation is finally restored, Lu Shuyao packs his bags, ready to make a satisfied exit—only to be intercepted.
Su Cheyue drags him back and locks him in a room: “Still thinking of running?” “I will never let you leave.”
Lu Shuyao: “??? What’s going on? Doesn’t he stop hating me? Why is he kidnapping me?!”
The System sends an emergency error: [We discovered that Su Cheyue’s Hatred Value has turned into a negative number, which means you still cannot leave safely…]
Lu Shuyao is stunned: “What does it mean for Hatred Value to become a negative number?”
Su Cheyue carries a “Desire-Detecting Pearl” inside him. After returning from the Ghost Purgatory, he gained the ability to read the evil thoughts of others. He read the thoughts of the man who pushed him into the abyss and later stayed by his side with “hidden motives.” Those “evil thoughts” were: I’ll do whatever it takes to escape Su Cheyue, go back home to play video games, and eat River Snail Rice Noodles (Luo Si Fen)…
Su Cheyue sneered. He wants to escape? Then why is he acting so weak and catering to a crippled man like me?
But slowly, Su Cheyue found himself falling for this hypocritical flattery. This man who claimed he wanted to leave was the only one who knew his heart, solved his troubles, traveled for him, and took injuries for him.
Later, when his power returned, he kidnapped the man who tried to flee and ordered his disciples: “Search the world for someone named ‘Video Game’ and bring him to me.” He even invited a divine chef and asked humbly: “How do you make… ‘Naked’ Rice Noodles? Do I have to take my clothes off?” (Note: A pun on ‘Luo’ meaning snail vs. ‘Luo’ meaning naked.)
