I Lied You Had Invincible Talent, But You Fought to Be Emperor

share time: 2026-02-17 00:36:49

Su Wan, a hidden healer, lied to Gu Yan—a boy whose family was massacred—that he had an "invincible heavenly spiritual vein" to lure enemies away and protect him by sending him to dangerous cultivation grounds. Unexpectedly, Gu Yan took the lie as his faith. To keep the promise of "staying alive" with Su Wan, he fought with his life: chewing spirit herbs to heal after being beaten half-dead, stabbing himself to stay conscious during cultivation backlash, even raiding sects alone to get medicine for Su Wan. When he finally became emperor through brute force, he found Su Wan had fused her soul into his veins to bear all backlash, leaving her on her last breath. Holding the bloodied Su Wan, Gu Yan cried, "I'm emperor now!" Su Wan smiled and touched his face: "I always knew you were the best…" but her hand dropped slowly. Only then did he realize—the "talent" was never real; it was her life-long bet of "I believe in you."
