Ye Chaoge transmigrates into a cultivation novel as the cannon-fodder master who torments the villainess until she turns evil, then gets ground to dust in the end. Shen Qingxian makes up her mind on the spot:
If I lie low enough, tragedy won’t catch up with me!
And so
Original plot: The master summons wind and snow to test the future villain’s resolve.
Shen Qingxian: “Here, kid. This is the only valuable warm jade your master owns. Keep it close and don’t get cold.”
(In her head: Please! This is seed funding! When you make it big, don’t forget about me!)
Original plot: The master coldly and mercilessly banishes the villain to the Cliff of Reflection.
Shen Qingxian: “Kid, your master brought you a loving dinner. Hurry and eat it while it’s hot!”
(In her head: You need a full stomach to become a shining beacon of the righteous path! My retirement depends on you!)
She works herself to the bone, diligently raising her disciple and doing everything she can to turn this future destroyer of the world into a virtuous young man who embraces the Five Virtues, Four Beauties, and Three Loves.
Until one day, her well-behaved disciple pins her against a wall, his eyes reddened and his voice hoarse:
“Master, you’re so good to me. Do you like me?”
“But I... don’t want to be just your disciple.”
Shen Qingxian: “!!!”
Help! This isn’t how the story goes! Have I raised my disciple completely wrong, too?!
