The Everlasting Marriage: Crown and Knot

share time: 2026-02-14 00:32:57

Lin Xiaoman, an overworked corporate slave, complained about being single forever after working until midnight—only to be bound by the "Everlasting Marriage System". The system claimed she'd tied the wrong "red string knot" in a past life and must help a mysterious "Crown Owner" break a curse to survive! But this "Crown Owner" is none other than Gu Jingshen, her company's icy, friendless CEO? Even more absurd: Gu is a hermit cultivator, the crown is his life-bound magic weapon, and that "knot"? It's the love curse they tied together in their past life! Lin is forced into a dual mission: chasing Gu at work (blocking his admirers, revising proposals) and cultivating immortality with him at night (learning talismans, fighting small demons)—with hilarious mishaps: sticking talismans like sticky notes, using a demon-catching net as a courier bag! As the mission progresses, past-life memories resurface: the knot wasn't tied wrong—it was cut on purpose! When a corporate slave's down-to-earth warmth crashes into a cultivator's cold world, is this "must-complete marriage task" a system's game... or a past life's obsession?
