Highlights
Si Chen, a lowly disciple, is forced to marry Luo Zhirou, the unconscious First Female Demon, to awaken her. He activates a sign-in reward system that grants him power when near powerful individuals, and immediately feels a connection upon touching Luo Zhirou. He begins cultivating and rapidly advances, much to the disbelief of his wife's inner thoughts.
Si Chen quickly achieves Foundation Establishment in three breaths and then the Divine Treasure Realm. He continues to care for Luo Zhirou, massaging her and trying to get her to respond. He encounters the Second Elder, who is dismissive of him, but Si Chen uses his newfound power and status as Luo Zhirou's husband to assert himself.
A Grand Elder attempts to poison Si Chen, but he cleverly avoids it, leading him to suspect a conspiracy against Luo Zhirou. He continues his cultivation, reaching the ninth level of the Divine Hidden Realm. Si Chen and Luo Zhirou grow closer, with Si Chen expressing his fear of her waking up and not loving him, while Luo Zhirou silently struggles with her feelings for him.
Si Chen uses the 'Eye of Heaven' ability from his system to discover that Luo Zhirou's unconsciousness is due to forbidden karma. He continues to protect her from assassination attempts, even risking his life against powerful cultivators. Luo Zhirou, still unconscious, witnesses his devotion and battles her internal conflict about her feelings for him.
Si Chen reaches the Nascent Soul Realm and purchases the Crimson Gold Phoenix Feather, a sacred artifact, to awaken Luo Zhirou. To activate it, he needs to reach the Cave Ruins Realm. He furiously cultivates, hoping to awaken her before she potentially faces more harm from the conspiracies brewing within the sect.
Si Chen successfully awakens Luo Zhirou with the Crimson Gold Phoenix Feather. Initially, she acts as if she doesn't remember him, then reveals she was testing him. They confront the Grand Elder, Qiu Baiquan, who was behind Luo Zhirou's coma. They also thwart an attack from a powerful expert allied with Qiu Baiquan, revealing Si Chen's unexpectedly high cultivation level.
Luo Zhirou accepts Si Chen as her husband, and their intimate moments continue to boost Si Chen's power. He decides against a pleasure-enhancing cultivation technique in favor of a body-tempering one. They discuss their next steps, with Luo Zhirou revealing her ruthless side and intent to eliminate all who harmed her, while Si Chen continues to protect her and provide emotional support.
The Righteous Path Alliance plans to eliminate Luo Zhirou at the upcoming Divine Sect Assembly. They try to lure Si Chen away but fail. Luo Zhirou and Si Chen accept a challenge regarding the amethyst mine, leading to a martial arts competition. Si Chen single-handedly defeats two powerful opponents, showcasing his King-level technique and Law Power, much to the dismay of the Righteous Path Alliance.
Si Chen, now a Great Emperor, faces a final confrontation where his wife is targeted. He effortlessly defeats his opponents, revealing his true power. They realize that to fully secure their future against the Righteous Path Alliance, Luo Zhirou needs to break through to the Saint Realm, which can be achieved through dual cultivation with Si Chen, using his Law Power. They embark on this path, solidifying their power and connection.
