The Corruption Cultivator

They call it purity. Zhou Wei has seen what hides beneath it. Born a nobody in a minor sect, Zhou Wei survives by keeping his head down—until the night he witnesses a righteous elder commit an unforgivable crime. Branded a loose end, he is hunted, beaten, and thrown into the sect’s forbidden caves to die. Instead, he awakens something worse. An ancient cultivation path binds itself to him: Corruption Qi—a forbidden power that grows not through slaughter or blood sacrifice, but through seduction. Holy maidens, chaste disciples, righteous elders… the purer they are, the greater the power they yield when they fall. But there is a rule that cannot be broken. They must choose corruption willingly. Force grants nothing. Coercion destroys the path. Zhou Wei must learn his targets’ deepest fears, longings, and suppressed desires—offering them what they secretly crave until they step across the line themselves. Each fall makes him stronger. Each choice reshapes the woman who makes it. And each corruption draws the attention of the orthodox sects that hunt his kind on sight. As Zhou Wei builds power in the shadows, he uncovers a truth far more dangerous than demonic cultivation: the most “righteous” sects are built on hypocrisy, sacrifice, and lies. And at the center of it all stands the Heavenly Purity Saintess—the living symbol of everything he is meant to oppose. To reach immortality, Zhou Wei must do the unthinkable. Not destroy heaven. But make it choose to fall.

Echoes of a Wife

Genre: #Murim #Dark #Adult #Drama #AncientChina Author’s note: This is a slow-burn, dark palace story (R18). The early chapters focus on atmosphere, power, and quiet cruelty beneath order. If you enjoy murim court politics, psychological tension, and subtle manipulation, this story is for you. I update daily. Your comments genuinely help—feel free to leave even a one-line reaction. Synopsis:- The Silent Cloud Sect is quiet on the surface. Too quiet. Behind polite councils, orderly training grounds, and disciplined bows, ambition festers. Elders maneuver for influence. Disciples hunger for advancement. Every courtesy hides a calculation. Seo Yerin arrives without fanfare. She is not the strongest. Not the loudest. And not the most ambitious—at least, not openly. But in a sect where power is traded in silence rather than steel, restraint becomes its own weapon. As negotiations stall and ascension ceremonies are quietly prepared, subtle shifts begin to ripple through the inner halls. Decisions change. Loyalties soften. Outcomes fall into place with unsettling ease. Seo Yerin does not command. She does not threaten. She guides—through patience, proximity, and an intimate understanding of human desire. She learns what people fear, what they crave, and what they will surrender when given the right reassurance. In the Silent Cloud Sect, power is rarely taken by force. It is offered willingly. And as the sect approaches a moment of irreversible change, the question is no longer who will rise— but who will realize, far too late, that they have already placed her at the center of everything. Content Warning: Mature themes, implied sexual situations, psychological manipulation, power imbalance. Tags: #SlowBurn #PowerExchange #MarriedFMC #Corruption #Murim #slave

After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

A novel about cultivation that combines the power struggles of the sect, disputes in the fairy world, and counterattacks and growth. The abandoned son of the sect, Gu An, was forced to marry into the family, but he used the wedding to expose the inheritance of the God. He broke through step by step, and transformed from a puppet in the marriage to a behind-the-scenes God who subverted the fairy world. ---------------- Yeah, I am Gu An, from the story above. Transmigrating into a world of cultivation, I find myself at the lowest rung of the sect's hierarchy. Everyone wants to bully me to gain some benefits. Fortunately, there are always a few junior brothers and sisters who are 'generous and understanding', allowing me to improve peacefully and secretly grow stronger. Years later, unbeknownst to anyone, I successfully become a deity within the sect. This day, my master visits me at the sect's request. 'The upper echelons of the sect believe you have been diligent and loyal over the years, and though your strength is mediocre, you are an honest person, so they've found a marriage alliance for you.' 'An alliance marriage?' 'Not exactly. The other family has a rule: marrying into their family means taking their surname.' Is this... becoming a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family? Looking at the long sword before my neck, it was obvious that they didn't give me too many substantial opportunities to choose. What should I do? Waiting for answers online、、、
