On their wedding night, the cold and aloof Empress regains her memories and points her sword at the groom, declaring, "I, the Empress, have no need for a useless husband like you!" At the brink of life and death, the groom, Zhang Lang, awakens a cultivation-return system and binds himself to his Empress Dao companion. Every bit of cultivation she gains returns tenfold to him! From then on, the Empress takes charge of seclusion, alchemy, battles, and reclaiming her empire, while Zhang Lang grows stronger effortlessly behind the scenes. In just a few days, he crosses three major cultivation realms, transforming from an ordinary mortal into a mighty Golden Core cultivator. When enemies attack, he incinerates them with a flick of his finger. When the Zhang Clan's grandmaster leads a group to kill him, a single cold snort from Zhang Lang forces them all to their knees. The Empress tries to reassert her authority as a wife, but he crushes her icy palm with his bare hand.
