Ghostly Blessing

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit.
Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world!
To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps:
1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets.
2. Subdue and vanquish the demon.
3. Take her cultivation technique for myself.
Awesome! I'm already invincible!

Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television:
Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today?
Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me.
Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife?
Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose.
Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right?
Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

When Yan Yu called Zhou Hongyu a "billy club disguised as a mace," he wasn't just shooting in the dark; he knew her background inside and out. 


Zhou Hongyu's family background was rather complex. Her father was a minor civil servant in Rongzhou County, Nanchuan Province, and her mother was a preschool teacher from Shuzhong Prefecture. The two had met through a matchmaker and gotten married. 


However, their marriage was a sham from the start. The two who had met through a matchmaker had no feelings for each other - her father had only thought about "living through the days," while her mother had been looking for a "long-term meal ticket." 


When a good-for-nothing met a con artist, the result was inevitably being devoured completely. 


After Zhou Hongyu was born, her mother used "emotional breakdown" as a pretext to file for divorce, and after several disputes, they finally separated.
