The sky, once majestic and brimming with divine radiance, now crumbles into a shadowy gloom, shattered by cataclysms that annihilate all celestial glory. The earth, once fertile and teeming with life, has withered into a desolate wasteland, trampled underfoot by legions of dark creatures—demons, devils, and vengeful spirits that roam in bitter triumph. This world no longer belongs to the holy; it is a new kingdom for the outcast, dancing upon the ruins of God and His Entire Heavenly Host. Yet amid this ruin, the One Accursed—a figure destined to submit to fate—rises instead with thunderous defiance. Rather than accept defeat, he rallies the remnants of the angelic armies, commanding those still loyal to the light to rebel. With blind conviction, they challenge the dark forces that now hold the throne of the cosmos, deluding themselves as bearers of the one true righteousness. But is their resistance merely an illusion? Or is this the dawn of a new curse—an eternal cycle where the damned become rulers, and the rebels mere pawns in a far darker game? The battle rages, no longer between light and dark, but between arrogance and a destiny already etched into the dust of annihilation.

As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
