SYNOPSIS:
In a forgotten mortal village, an orphan carries in his eyes a wisdom that does not belong to this world. Beside him, his childhood wife guards a love so deep and twisted it borders on obsession.
When the rhythm of the universe reveals itself to Zhì Yuǎn, the couple discovers that transcendence is not achieved by meditating atop a solitary mountain. Their path is paved with Dual Cultivation. As his overwhelming Yang and her pure Yin intertwine, they forge a method of their own and break the chains of the mortal world.
What begins as a quiet, claustrophobic refuge in a bamboo grove soon transforms into an unrelenting climb toward divinity. When Zhì Yuǎn awakens a Singularity—an infinite inner universe, eternally hungry for energy and the Laws of reality—his wife Yù Qíng’s body reaches its limit. Driven by a sickening devotion, she decides that if she cannot sate her “god’s” hunger alone, she herself will corrupt the world—starting with her own sister—to forge the perfect vessels for him.
To fill an empty universe, morality is the first sacrifice.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS WORK (SPOILER):
· Dual Cultivation as a Magic System: The explicit content (Smut) is not mere fan service. Sex, lust, pain, and physical exhaustion are the backbone of the magical progression. Visceral intimacy is the only way to withstand the overwhelming energy of the Universe’s Laws.
· The Yandere’s Evolution: Yù Qíng is not a conventional heroine. Her absolute devotion to her husband creates a completely distorted moral compass. The introduction of the harem does not happen by chance or through betrayal; it is actively orchestrated and manipulated by the wife herself to “feed” her husband.
· Unfathomable and OP Protagonist: Zhì Yuǎn possesses an absurd conceptual advantage. Though the story begins contained, the scale of his power soon reaches levels where he is treated as an untouchable deity by the mortals around him.
· Dark Fantasy and Raw Violence: When the trinity (the god‑husband, the priestess‑wife, and the executioner‑sister‑in‑law) clashes with the outside world, expect brutal resolutions. Bones are shattered, the arrogant are publicly humiliated, and blood paints the path.
· Increasing Pace (Slow Burn Initially): The first ~30 chapters build the world and the relationship in a closed, intimate fashion, like a cocoon, before the true hunger of the inner universe shatters the walls and thrusts the characters into the vastness of the mortal world—and, in the future, the Immortal World.
