Xiǎo-Shīmèi Bùxiǎng Fēishēng

After three centuries of confinement within a forgotten secret realm, the legendary archvillain Jin Xun finally tastes freedom—courtesy of an oblivious fool who stumbles upon his prison. Bursting into maniacal laughter, he envisions his grand return to the martial world: a reign of terror, the recovery of his divine treasures, and sweet vengeance against those who betrayed him. But reality shatters his delusions in an instant. His peak-level cultivation has vanished into thin air, his stockpile of god-tier artifacts is nowhere to be found, and the very minions who once groveled at his feet now treat him with utter indifference. Stripped of everything that defined his power, the dreaded villain is reduced to a mere shadow of his former self. Enter Su Yuan, a woman cursed with a cultivation that perpetually withers—unless she remains in Jin Xun's immediate vicinity. Desperate to survive, she resolves to bind herself to this fallen tyrant, showering him with every earthly treasure she can procure, so long as he never leaves her side. There is a cruel twist, however: Jin Xun's proximity to Su Yuan is precisely what drains his remaining strength, turning him into a powerless mortal just when he needs his might most. To pursue his revenge, he must escape her—a plan that crumbles when Su Yuan lashes him with her Immortal-binding rope and declares they will never part. Jin Xun fiercely protests, swearing that no romance will ever derail his quest for retribution. Yet, mere days later, he inexplicably relents, offering a resigned acceptance that leaves Su Yuan utterly bewildered and questioning everything she thought she knew.
