She bullied him for 80 episodes. His revenge? Diving into hell itself. Cultivation romance is unhinged.
Season 1 • Episode 80
LatestSang Nian accidentally ascended to the cultivation world, becoming the villainous female supporting character in the novel who met a tragic end. Her mission was to marry the male supporting character, Xie Chenzhou, abuse and humiliate him, only to be killed by him in the end. Xie Chenzhou hated Sang Nian—everyone believed this to be true. Yet on the day she died, he abandoned his immortal path, descended into demonic cultivation, and leaped into the Endless Abyss.
Acting
Wang Haozhen's thousand-yard stare of repressed devastation.
Writing
The system novel premise twisted into genuine tragedy.
Costume
White immortal robes increasingly stained with narrative irony.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'villainess reincarnation' trope exploded in Chinese web fiction around 2018, but this adaptation leans into the original danmei novel's queercoded intensity between male lead and villainess—rare in mainstream cdrama.
The abyss scene was filmed in a real sinkhole in Guangxi; Wang Haozhen performed the descent without safety wires for the final shot, injuring his ankle. The limp in flashbacks? Actually his.
