After Reading the Heart of My Villainous Master, His Persona Crumbles

Lu Zhaoyue was reborn on the night before the ceremony where she would take a master. In her previous life, the master she revered as a god, Xie Qingjue, had sacrificed her with his own hands. Just as she resolved to escape her fate, she heard the tumultuous thoughts beneath his icy exterior:

“An excellent constitution... too bad she'll be used in the sacrificial array three years from now.”

“The sword energy cut my hand... it hurts.”

“The line at the new pastry shop is so long... (feeling wronged)”

Wasn't he supposed to be the villain who would destroy the world? Could this pain-averse, socially anxious foodie really be her master?

When Zhaoyue discovered that Xie Qingjue had been infected with a Heart-Eroding Gu and manipulated like a puppet by the leader of the righteous sects, she crushed her escape plan. “Master, don't be afraid. I'll take on this redemption story!”
