Master-disciple novels have been all the rage lately, and Jian Mengyao was one of their many avid readers. On her twenty-eighth birthday, she wished for the heavens to grant her a boyfriend as handsome and refined as the masters in those novels. The heavens granted her wish by sending her straight into a master-disciple novel she'd read.
Jian Mengyao was overjoyed. The master in the novel was described as exactly her type, so she decided to follow the original plot to the end. She thought she'd come away with a handsome husband, but she'd read so many novels that she'd often never reached the endings, relying instead on her imagination. What she didn't know was that the author of this particular book was a real oddball. The plot took a sharp turn later on, and the handsome master turned out to be a beast in human skin. By the time Jian Mengyao realized what was happening, he'd already flayed her, pulled out her tendons, and dumped her in a mass grave.
A lovesick fool ends up with nothing.
With no other choice, she turned to the original novel's villain, the great demon lord, to get revenge. But he didn't just want her as his right-hand woman; he also wanted her to warm his bed.
Jian Mengyao didn't mean to give in, but he was not only better-looking than her master, he also listened to her in everything.
What Jian Mengyao didn't know was that Chu Yeli had been reborn too. Unlike her, he had been reborn from a previous life, so he had a kind of foresight. To protect Jian Mengyao and honor the promise he'd made in his past life, he once again joined Yu Wuyuan's sect, despite hating him, and became the junior fellow disciple of that foolish woman, Jian Mengyao.
In this life, at last, he could protect her before harm came to her.
