Xuanming Immortal Destiny
The Underworld Star was originally a world of beasts. For millions of years, the eight great beast clans had been fighting each other all year round. Blood flowed like rivers on the Underworld Star, forming an endless sea.
10,000 years ago, the Xuan cultivators killed their way into the Netherworld Star, exterminated Qiongqi, killed Taowu, exiled Taotie and Hundun, and captured the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
10,000 years later, the world of war descended once again.
The story began here.
Hong Tian was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth, a servant disciple of the Myriad Dao Sect's Spirit Plant Hall. He had the reverse spirit root of water and fire, and was at the first qi layer.
He was aloof from worldly affairs. He only wanted to cultivate to the fourth qi layer so that he would be qualified to go down the mountain to train and meet his grandfather, whom he had not seen for many years.
However, the senior brother who was close to him suddenly died. He lost his identity as a servant of the Spirit Plants Hall and returned to the outer sect.
He wanted to help his senior find out the truth, but the news was leaked and he fell into someone else's trap.
Fortunately, not only did he discover that he possessed the Wind Spiritual Root, but he also obtained a cultivation method for the Wind Spiritual Root.
He cultivated day and night.
He fought with his enemies to the death.
One by one, his enemies were reduced to dust.
Until one day, a beast tide broke out. The 10,000-year crisis of the Netherworld Star had arrived!
With his extraordinary ability, Hong Tian gradually walked to the front of the Celestial Gate and the four Beast Gods. He suppressed the Beast Tide and protected the heavenly world. Even if he was attacked by the axe, he was fearless!
He was Hongtian!
Cultivators loved and feared him, mortals worshipped him, and in the vast world, he left behind a "legend of heaven"!
Summary of the Novel So Far The protagonist, a young woman, initially finds herself trapped in an abusive relationship with Chris, a man she once loved but who controlled and tortured her. She eventually crosses paths with Leon, a seemingly kind and caring man, who "rescues" her from Chris, only to later reveal himself as an even more dangerous manipulator. Leon isolates her, deceives her with Love, fake marriage, and family members, and drugs her to suppress her memories. The protagonist gradually realizes she is caught in a web of lies, orchestrated by Leon and his fake family, who are all involved in sinister activities.

However, she endures, grows stronger, and manipulates the prison system to orchestrate her escape. Now free, she embarks on a path of revenge. She captures and torments her lookalike, Elena, and infiltrates Leon's household by pretending to be her. Using this deception, she uncovers deeper secrets, including the truth about Leon’s fabricated life and the connections between his so-called family members. As part of her vengeance, she coldly murders Elena’s mother and stages the scene to avoid suspicion. With the house now on high alert, she watches as Leon and his allies become consumed by paranoia, unaware that their greatest threat is already inside their walls. The protagonist fabricates a pregnancy to manipulate Leon. Meanwhile, Elena escapes captivity and returns to confront Leon, leading to confusion due to their identical appearances. To prove her identity, Elena's guard suggests a test known only to the real Elena. Amidst the chaos, the protagonist flees, with Leon in pursuit. In calculativemoves, She then coerces Leon into arresting his wife, Elena, for her alleged crimes, threatening to harm Elena and the supposed child if he refuses. Reluctantly, Leon betrays Elena, mirroring his previous betrayal of the protagonist. With Elena out of the picture, she assumes her identity, manipulating Leon and enjoying the privileges of her new role. However, her deception is threatened when she falsely claims to be pregnant with Leon's child. To maintain her facade, she fakes a miscarriage, causing Leon genuine grief, which she secretly relishes. As suspicions grow, she flees and seeks refuge with Chris, her former abuser. Their reunion is brutal, as Chris subjects her to physical and emotional torment. Desperate, she contacts Leon, luring him into a deadly confrontation where Chris kills one of Leon's allies. In a final act of defiance, she kills Chris, disposing of his body to cover her tracks. Later, she discovers she is pregnant with Chris's child. When Leon reaches out, expressing remorse and a desire to reconcile, she seizes the opportunity. Feigning forgiveness, she allows Leon to believe the child is his, manipulating him to secure a comfortable life for herself and her unborn child. Leon, unaware of the truth, becomes devoted to her, obeying her every command, whether good or evil. This narrative intricately weaves themes of love, betrayal, manipulation, and revenge, aligning closely with the title "Torn Between Love and Pain."
